Controls


  • Move the cursor using the arrow keys and the O button (Z key) to rotate the cursor. 
  • Swap the two adjacent tiles within your cursor using the X button (X key) to lineup match-3's. 
  • You can only swap tiles if it results in a match-3.

Rules

You're trapped in a haunted house with a bunch of Halloween stereotypes and the only way to defeat them and escape is by matching three or more common monsters in a row!

It's actually just a Halloween themed Match-3 clone. Get 100 match-3's before time runs out to win!

Behind the Scenes

This is my second ever released game, I'd love to know what you think! I realize this game is pretty barebones even for a match-3 clone, and while I may decide to build upon it with more features and objectives in the future, at least for now I'm happy with it being a short, fun little Halloween minigame. So I really hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween to all!

Had to try a few times to win, a fun little game!

I actually really like this, it's hard while being possible.  Better than Candy Crush imho.

Amazing!
