The biggest update
since launch.
Spooky Swipe was a game about reacting fast. It still is — but now a good run compounds. Streaks multiply, the cauldron responds to how well you're playing, and everything you earn carries over into the next run.
Nine additions, all of them built around one idea: a run should feel like it's going somewhere.
The combo ring
Bank on the right side and the ring around your multiplier charges. ×2 at five in a row, ×3 at ten, ×5 at twenty. One miss and it's gone.
Brew frenzy
Fifteen clean banks fill the cauldron and it boils over. Eight seconds, everything gold, every point doubled — on top of whatever your combo is already worth.
Candy corn & the shop
Every run banks candy corn. Spend it on swipe trails, cauldron smoke colours and new backgrounds.
Daily brew
A bonus waiting each day you come back, growing for seven days running. Miss a day and it starts over — nothing else is lost.
Daily missions
Three every day, drawn fresh at midnight. Bank twenty-five bats, trigger three frenzies, catch a pair of golden spooks. Each one pays.
25 achievements
Long-run goals across score, combos, frenzies and every kind of spook — each one paying candy corn when it lands.
Weekly leaderboard
Resets every Monday, so first place is always winnable. Finish the week ranked and you're paid out in candy corn.
Waves & golden spooks
Swarms arrive without warning. A rare golden spook takes any side at all, scores ten times over, and costs you nothing if you miss it.
Spooks with opinions
Bats jink mid-air. Cats hop once on the way down. Pumpkins fly heavy, need a firmer flick, and bank for double.
Three spooks,
three sides.
Each spook belongs to one colour. Flick it to the matching bar before it reaches the bottom. Send it the wrong way, or let it fall, and a life goes with it.
Tap the candy corn as it drops to win a life back. Swipe a potion into the cauldron and it empties out a single kind of spook — the potion's colour tells you which.
Bat
Jinks sideways on its way down. Never quite where you left it.
Purple · left
Pumpkin
Heavy. Takes a firmer flick to shift, and banks for two.
Orange · right
Black cat
Hops once mid-fall, right when you've committed to the swipe.
Black · upA reason to come
back tomorrow.
The daily brew is waiting the moment you open the app, and grows for every consecutive day you return. Three missions land alongside it, drawn fresh at midnight.
The leaderboard wipes every Monday. However far ahead someone got last week, the board is level again on Monday morning — and placing pays.
- Daily brew

Free on the App Store.
Nothing to buy, ever — the shop runs on candy corn you earn by playing. The only ad in the game is the one you choose to watch when you're out of lives and want to keep going.
Spooky Swipe 5.0 is in TestFlight now and arrives on the App Store this season. Version 4.2 is live today, and your high score and name carry straight across when the update lands.
