Crack O’ Lantern

Smashing pumpkins! Crack O’ Lantern has nothing to do with the band… smashing pumpkins, as in smashing them against a wall, is the object of this game.

It’s raining pumpkins (hallelujah) and your job is to (a) crack them on the ground, and then (b) smash them into little bits by tossing them against the wall. You gotta crack them first, though, and throwing uncracked pumpkins at the wall is an exercise in futility. When you see a special flaming red pumpkin, though, you can just wall-smash that one right away. Every pumpkin you successfully smash will fill your time meter, and when it’s filled all the way you get to advance to the next round.

Dress Up School Girls

Is it wrong for a 30-something guy to be dressing up Japanese school girls on his iPhone? Um, DON’T ANSWER THAT!!

I installed this app out of morbid curiosity with an eye towards maybe featuring it as a WTF app next Wednesday, but truth is it’s actually really well done! Dress Up School Girls is a wardrobe mix & match app that provides a surprisingly wide assortment of stuff for making your little anime girl look all spiffy. There are skirts, leggings, shoes, shirts, jackets, several different backgrounds, and even interchangeable hair and faces.

I reviewed Halloween C@rds last year and it’s awesome! $2 buys you a whole mess of Halloween greeting cards that you can email to everyone on the planet.

Arrrrrgghh. Pirate Radar can be used as either an ice breaker or just a silly joke. It’s especially funny if you’re on a boat that gets hijacked by actual gun-toting pirates! They may not get it, though…

WTF: Ask The Hoff

Don't Hassel The Hoff unless you're planning to ask him stupid questions

Don't Hassel The Hoff unless you're planning to ask him stupid questions

Alright kids, it’s Wednesday which means it’s WTF day and today we’ve got the king of all WTF apps!

Launch Ask The Hoff and it kicks off with a short Ask The Hoff theme song, and then The Hoff himself blurts out one of several cheesy self-introductions (yes, it’s really his voice). To get answers to your deepest, most important life questions just shake your iPhone and The Hoff will come back with any of a dozen or so prophetic answers that range from “Are you kidding? Get outta here!” to “The answer is yes, trust me I’m a doctor, no not really I’m David Hasselhoff”.

Firing up Ask The Hoff should be done ONLY when you truly plan to Ask The Hoff for advice because, if you don’t, he’ll badger you until you do! “What are you waiting for, come on, do it do it!” (umm… that’s what she said?)

Worth a buck? It actually is kind of funny, but I’d still only recommend this app if you’re truly and completely Hoff Crazy… or German!

Hallowcarver

Well, if you’re gonna carve a pumpkin on your iPhone you might as well do it with Hallowcarver! I’ve only tried one other pumpkin carving app (Jack O’Lantern) and this one is waaaaay way better.

WNRS (We’re Not Rocket Scientists) went pretty nuts on this app and made it as slick as can be. Four different backgrounds are included, you get to choose from three different pumpkins, you can undo (nice!), and not only can you post your pumpkin to Twitter and Facebook but you can also share your creations on the Hallowcarver website! Cool. You can even change your background and pumpkin type in mid-carve.

A lot of developers seem to half-ass it on seasonal apps like this one, so I think it’s awesome when one goes all the way like this and really builds something worthwhile. You might delete Hallowcarver on November 1st, but this app has a lot of quality for a buck.

P.S. Carving a kickass pumpkin can win you an iPod Touch!

C@rds Master by Hot Chili Apps: Comes with two free greeting cards in a bunch of different categories, and additional sets can be bought in-app. In my review of this app about a month ago I said it should be free, and now it is! Not sure if this is permanent or just a “sale”, but it’s worth getting especially if you already own any C@rds sets.

Halloween Pumpkinizer by Mexircus: Stick your pic in a pumpkin. I reviewed this app over a year ago and it’s not bad, but it’s much better without the $.99 price tag!

Boozey Slots by Candywriter: I haven’t tried this one, but the screenshots look very colorful and shiny!
