Skwizzo Bubble Merge

Bubbles with Halloween objects inside: two matching ones touch and become one, at the next stage. Around that simple move there is a 1,000-level adventure and three modes with their own rules.

THE ENDLESS NIGHT Three minutes, the same length for everyone. A potion rises from the bottom of the board, faster and faster, and any bubble that touches it pops. Every merge pushes it back down; two matching bubbles at the final stage transmute into points. As the sky turns from dark to dawn, curses arrive: frost, crates, fuses, fog, chains and ghosts. Every night the board has a different shape. If the potion reaches the rim, the night ends early: your best score is what counts.

GHOST CHALLENGE Replay a level you have already won against the replay of your fastest win. The ghost plays out on the same board as see-through bubbles, with its moves and time shown next to yours. Fewer moves beat it; on equal moves, the faster time wins.

RECIPE OF THE DAY A new recipe every day, the same for everyone: same ingredients, same board. Brew it in as few moves as you can; only your first attempt earns coins. Difficulty climbs from Monday to Sunday, every Recipe you complete leaves you a bottle that stays forever in its own collectibles tab, and seven days in a row are worth 300 coins and a power-up.

REPLAYS If you turn them on, the game records your games and you watch them like a video, scrubbing back and forth at up to 4x. They are sorted into Adventure (your fastest win on each level), The Endless Night (your record night) and Recipe of the Day.

THE ADVENTURE: 1,000 LEVELS IN 40 CHAPTERS Drag a bubble, take aim and let it go: it bounces, rolls and pushes the others around. Each level asks for its own objects before you run out of moves or time. A 3D cauldron bubbles in every level with a potion in the color of the area, and the sky changes every 50 levels: twenty skies in all.

800 OBJECTS AND 1,366 BOTTLES 500 Halloween objects for the adventure and 300 kept for the Recipe of the Day, each with three stages. Every level you complete gives you its collectible bottle: 1,000 in the adventure, plus the Recipe ones.

20 MECHANICS, ONE AT A TIME The first time you meet one, the game explains how it works. - Bounce pads that push bubbles back and ice pads that freeze them; wind that bends your shots. - Linked portals, moving cages that trap bubbles, spikes that pop them. - Bombs to set off, frozen bubbles and crates to break. - Spider webs that hold bubbles, one-way veils, sliding tombstones. - Gates that close turn by turn, pressure plates that keep the door of their color open. - Whirlpools that pull bubbles in, bats that knock them away. - Fuse bubbles, mystery bubbles, chains and ghost bubbles. And the boards come in 20 different shapes.

FOUR POWER-UPS, UNLOCKED AS YOU PROGRESS - Pair: finds a pair and merges it for you. - Bombs: three blasts that clear space. - Extra Moves: 5 more moves to finish the level. - Magnet: for a while, matching bubbles seek each other out.
