Connecting soup to Halloween proved too abstract, so the team shifted to the idea of a wizard school. The original concept for the game involved a magic cat making a soup that was so good, it raised the dead. It seemed like a good opportunity for a cat hero, since the winner of last year’s Candy Cup Doodle was Yellow Witch and her black cat. The inspiration for this year’s cat spell-casting game came from a real-life black cat named Momo that belongs to Doodler Juliana Chen. And you’d better pounce fast-the ghost that stole the master spellbook is getting away!įrom the team that created the Magic Cat Academy: Help her cast out mischievous spirits by swiping in the shape of the symbols above the ghosts’ heads. This year’s Halloween Doodle follows freshman feline Momo on her mission to rescue her school of magic. Press play to swipe spells, save your friends, and help restore the peace at the Magic Cat Academy. As a player gains momentum, they’ll also pick up seeming random power-ups that increase speed or even let them pass through walls.Grab your wand and help fend off a ghostly catastrophe.

Generally speaking, always dive right toward any tail you see because you’ll either steal flames from an enemy or pick up a +5 bonus from touching a friendly tail. That being said, if any enemy wanders too close, stealing from their tail should be your top priority. In fact, even moving beyond the midway point between the two bases is never worth it because even if it’s possible to acquire a ton of flames, enemy players will have an even easier time stealing them. Risky behavior is almost never rewarding. Making three quick trips with five flames each to get 15 flames is far more efficient than getting 18 by wandering further but then losing half of them on the trip back. Players want to stay as close as they possibly can to their home base where they have a greater chance of banking their flames rather than losing them.

Smaller batches banked by staying close is always better.
