To clear the stage, drag Minuit around so the rotating crescent blade hits the pumpkins, then defeat the Pumpkin King at the front of the parade. Watch out for the King's charge. When an evolution choice appears, Full Moon guarantees a smaller upgrade; Eclipse offers a bigger one with a chance of failure.

Play and controls

Play the official browser game. Its Japanese title is ぐるぐる三日月 〜カボチャ大行列〜. Creator Yoigane Minuit released it on October 24, 2026. It is described as a roughly one-minute game for phones and computers.

Drag on the screen with a finger or mouse to move Minuit. The crescent blade revolves around the character. The official instructions do not specify a separate attack key: positioning the spinning blade is the core action.

A practical route to the clear screen

  1. Start and drag Minuit a short distance. Observe how far the crescent blade extends from the character.
  2. Move so the orbiting blade crosses the approaching pumpkin line. Adjust spacing instead of assuming the character's body must collide with enemies.
  3. When evolution cards appear, select Full Moon Minuit, on the right, if you want a predictable first attempt. Its smaller power increase is guaranteed by the developer's rules.
  4. Select Eclipse Minuit, on the left, if you are willing to gamble for a larger upgrade. The displayed probability is the actual draw probability.
  5. Find the Pumpkin King at the head of the procession. Make room when he charges, bring the spinning blade back into range, and defeat him to finish the stage.

Decision table

Situation What to do Verified result or status
Pumpkin procession Drag to bring the rotating blade into contact Blade defeats pumpkins; official instructions
Evolution: right card Choose Full Moon Smaller, guaranteed upgrade; official
Evolution: left card Choose Eclipse Larger potential upgrade, possible failure; official
Probability on a card Read the number shown in-game The stated odds govern the draw; developer
King charges Reposition to avoid his approach Charge confirmed; precise dodge path is advice
King defeated Finish attacking with the blade Stage clear; official victory condition

Which evolution is better?

For a consistent first clear, Full Moon is the lower-risk choice. Eclipse is the option for a high-roll run, not a guaranteed shortcut. No verified damage figures, upgrade values, or failure penalties are available here, so a mathematical best-pick threshold would be invented. The developer also says the roulette needle lands according to the already-determined draw, rather than offering a timing trick.

Common questions

Do I have to defeat every pumpkin? The published win condition specifically names the King. Can I mash an attack button? The documented control is dragging to move while the blade rotates. Is there a hard 60-second win timer? “One-minute game” describes its short format, not a confirmed timer-based clear. Collision sizes, spawn patterns, exact odds on every card, and speedrun routes have not been tested in a completed playthrough.

Bottom line

Move the character, let the crescent do the hitting, avoid the King's rush, and target the parade leader. For a first win, reliable Full Moon upgrades make more sense than betting every run on Eclipse.
