While mobile games are fun to play all-year-round, the special and spooky season of Halloween has triggered some frightfully fun updates in a slew of games on iOS and Android. Check out our round-up for a selection of those updates, ranging from Transformers to naughty children, below.
Konami releases ‘Domoween’ update in Domo Jump — Konami’s free endless runner challenges players to tilt their device to cause Domo to bounce higher and higher on both stationary and moving platforms. The Halloween update includes a new level called Domoween, and five limited edition Domo characters: Frankenstein’s Monster, Mummy, Vampire, Devil and Ghost Domo. These can be purchased via in-app purchases, or unlocking using Diamonds.
Monster Match introduces Chaos of the Gloom King: A Tale from the Dismal Islands — DeNA’s monster-battle puzzle game sees the game’s monsters donning costumes, as players are challenged with collecting candy and improving those costumes while defeating Gloomlings. This event is available across both iOS and Android.
Transformers: Legends receives Ghost in the Machine event — Launching on October 30, the Ghost in the Machine campaign [pictured at top] will see Starscream’s ghost crossing over to lead the Decepticons against the Autobots. Players will need to fight against time to stop Starscream from disrupting the Autobots’ electronic systems, which would leave them defenseless. This event is available on both iOS and Android until November 5.
Heliceum releases Halloween version of Naughty Boy on iOS, Android — The original version of Naughty Boy asks players to shoot oncoming family members with household objects, to avoid being made to go to school. In the new Halloween version, players are left in a spooky house with evil versions of those family members: werewolves, zombies, ghosts and vampires, as examples. Players must shoot these monsters and earn as many points as possible before dawn. Check out a trailer for the Halloween update below.
