Happy Halloween!

If you haven’t seen it yet, today’s Google Doodle celebrates Halloween with the latest edition (Part 3) of the “Magic Cat Academy” game which follows a cartoon cat that fights off ghosts and other adversaries using various magic spells that are launched from its magic wand.

Each ghost or adversarial creature that appears in the game will have one or more symbols displayed above it that the player must draw on the screen in order to cast a defensive spell to fend it off. Each game contains several levels, with each increasing in difficulty due to an increasing number of creatures, with some having multiple symbols that must be drawn in order to fend them off. (Thankfully, my wife and I played the game on a touch-screen Chromebook, which saved us from having to use a trackpad or regular mouse to draw the symbols.)

For those interested, Part 3 (Halloween, 2024) of the “Magic Cat Academy” game can be played here, with Part 2 (Halloween, 2020) and Part 1 (Halloween, 2016) also being available to play.
