About Pumpkin Patrol
Pumpkin Patrol is a cosy-spooky lane defense game set in a moonlit pumpkin patch. Plant candy-corn stalks for candy, then spend it on pumpkin poppers, scarecrows, lantern mines, frost gourds and bat houses to stop skeletons, ghosts and bats before they reach the farmhouse. Each lane has one pitchfork that saves you once.
Guard a moonlit pumpkin patch: spend candy on poppers, scarecrows, lantern mines, frost gourds and bat houses to stop wobbly skeletons, floating ghosts, bat swarms and a pumpkin golem before they reach the farmhouse across 5 lanes.

How to play Pumpkin Patrol
Mouse
Click a card in the tray, then click a patch tile to plant it — or drag the card onto the tile. Click the selected card again to cancel.
Touch
Tap a card, then tap a patch tile, or drag the card straight onto a tile. Cards turn grey when you cannot afford them and shade over while they recharge.
Keyboard
Press 1-6 to pick a card, move the tile cursor with the arrow keys and press Enter or Space to plant. Esc cancels, H shows a hint and R restarts the level.
💡 Tips & tricks
- Plant candy-corn stalks early: every stalk drips 25 candy every few seconds for the whole level.
- Scarecrows hold skeletons in place while your poppers work, but ghosts float right over them — keep seeds coming in ghost lanes.
- Bat swarms fly over everything. Only a Bat House in that lane can hit them, so build one as soon as bats are announced.
- Save a Lantern Mine for the Pumpkin Golem or a crowded lane: it bursts across three lanes once it is armed.

Pumpkin Patrol FAQ
What happens when an enemy reaches the farmhouse?
The pitchfork at the end of that lane sweeps away every enemy in it, but only once. If another enemy reaches the house in the same lane, the level is lost.
How do I get more candy?
Candy-corn stalks drip 25 candy every few seconds, and every defeated enemy drops a little more. The Pumpkin Golem drops the most.
How are stars awarded?
Clear a level without using any pitchfork for 3 stars, with one pitchfork for 2 stars, or with more for 1 star. Continuing after a breach counts as 1 star.
