Double jump the pits and slash past the vampires
Running Pumpkin is a Halloween runner starring a little jack-o'-lantern on legs, dashing over green hills and grassy cliffs. The pumpkin sprints forward by itself, so your job is timing: jump the pits, use a second jump when a gap is too wide, and slash or hop past the vampires that turn up along the way. A Range counter tracks your distance, and your high score is saved for next time.
How to play Running Pumpkin
- Start a run and let the pumpkin pick up speed on its own.
- Jump over pits, fences and other obstacles as they come.
- Press jump again in mid-air to stretch across the widest gaps.
- Grab the round claw tokens counted in the top corner, and press the claw button to slash at vampires.
- Keep going; a single fall into a pit ends the run.

Tips to play better
- Save the second jump. Spending it early leaves you nothing if you misjudge the landing.
- Take off right at the edge of a pit; leaving too early is the most common way to come up short.
- Look past the gap you are clearing so a vampire on the far side does not catch you by surprise.
- Pick up claw tokens when they sit on your path, but never jump early just to reach one.

Running Pumpkin FAQ
Why do I keep falling into pits?
Usually you are jumping a moment too soon or holding back the double jump too long. Take off at the very edge and use the second jump as soon as you feel yourself dropping short.
Does the game remember my best score?
Yes. Your high score is stored on your device, so it is waiting for you to beat the next time you play.
