The creative juices are really flowing here at ngmoco:)

What happens when you combine Halloween with us?   You get stuff like this!

Happy Halloween.  Be safe out there!

The season of tricks and treats is upon us. Pumpkin carving is in the air.

Let’s take some of the trepidation out of your Halloween preparation by providing some pumpkin inspiration. Rolando creator Simon Oliver has put together carving patterns that will allow you too to create a charming King Rolando (similar to the pictured pumpkin by our own Stephen Detwiler).

Visit HandCircus to find carving-ready PDFs of the King, pirate, and wild Rolandos.

That’s right wordsmiths, WordFu has been localized. Now you can challenge friends*, unlock awards, and top the global Plus+ leaderboards in your mother tongue (that is if you’re from a French-, German-, or Spanish-speaking country).

So hop over to the App Store to start sparring with words.

WordFu Plus+ Deutsch

WordFu Plus+ Español

WordFu Plus+ Français

*WordFu+ challenges do not work across languages. So WordFu Deutsch players can only challenge WordFu Deutsch players, etc.

Honorary ngmofo Jennie Sue delivered some sweet Rolando cupcakes to ngmoco global HQ a few weeks ago (watch B-Money devour them). Their awesomeness can’t be described, but Game Informer makes a good attempt on its Crafty Gamer blog.

If an interview isn’t enough to satiate your edible Rolando cravings, read more about their creation on Jennie’s blog.
