Google has a spooky minigame with a witchy cat where you draw magical runes

Today is October 31st, which means something: it’s Halloween!

To celebrate age, Google has gone all out with a creepy, puny mini-game to tide us over a month before we can shut down our computer systems and go trick-or-treating.

The game itself puts you in the shoes, or paws, of a puny witch cat with a territorial helmet, who must drive back numerous creepy ungodlies by drawing enchanting runes with his wand. This is done with the mouse, and let me tell you, it’s all pretty interesting and more than a little hectic.

I gave the game a spin myself (I have to be thorough with my reporting, it has nothing to do with frivolous fun, I say…) and managed to reach the general level before my hearts gave out. My lead score used to be 16000, which used to be higher than Tom’s, so tonight I’ll take a simple vacation understanding that I’m obviously The best possible player in the information workforce.

I need to finish the general degree, again, so I can continue once again and aim once again.

Anyway, if you want to give the game a try yourself, you can sign it up here. Have fun!

For even more spooky fun, our Katharine recently took one for the team and looked at the spiders in the bathroom. You can find out his ideas right here.
