Halloween PumpkinMan

Halloween PumpkinMan was one of those simple, straightforward games you'd find during the Flash era. It appeared on various gaming portals, a seasonal title you'd play for a few minutes between other tasks. The presentation was basic, with a pumpkin-headed character moving through a maze, all set against a dark, orange, and black color scheme that fit the holiday.

You control the PumpkinMan with the arrow keys, navigating a maze to consume every white dot. Four ghosts patrol the corridors, and contact with them ends your life unless you've collected a special yellow dot. That dot gives you temporary power, letting you turn the tables and chase the ghosts instead. The game typically has five levels, each a bit faster and more demanding than the last. The challenge comes from predicting the ghosts' paths and timing your power-up runs. It feels like a tense, quick scramble where a single wrong turn resets your progress.
