Spooky Chains

Spooky Chains gives the match-3 puzzle format a Halloween skin while keeping its rules clear: tap a tile, then drag through matching nearby items to form a chain of 3 or more. Cleared items vanish, new items fall into the empty spaces, and the tiles beneath the cleared chain turn golden. The main objective is not just clearing icons, but converting every tile on the board to gold. That golden-tile goal gives each move more weight than a standard score chase. Early levels are described as easy, making the basic touch-and-drag chaining simple to read, while later levels add more challenge through the need to choose chains that help finish the board conversion. Longer chains can clear space quickly, but awkward leftover tiles may still slow progress if they do not help turn the remaining board gold. The Flying Witch adds a tactical ad-based option rather than a passive bonus. When she glides across the board, tapping her lets players watch a reward ad; afterward, she blasts some tiles into golden tiles. A separate reward ad can also remove the timer, which changes the feel of a level from pressured matching to more deliberate puzzle planning.
