That year’s Doodle featured a similar game which was set in a magic school. Halloween, also known as All Hallow’s Eve and linked to the ancient Irish festival of Samhain, falls tomorrow, 31 October, and, as well as marking the end of summer, is also dedicated to remembering the dead and is influenced by Celtic harvest festivals.Īmong mysticists, Halloween was a liminal time when the boundaries between this world and the spirit world thinned and the dead walked the Earth.Īncient Celts marked Halloween with bonfires and feasting, but the celebrations have evolved to include trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, costume parties, apple bobbing, playing pranks and watching horror films. The Doodle was created by the makers of the 2016 Magic Cat Academy Doodle which was made for that year’s Halloween. The game, which is more fun than spooky, is quite addictive. Very similar to Flappy Bird, the Google Doodle game, which you can play in your browser, lets you choose between four witch teams and you have to help a witch fly and collect as much gold and prizes by pressing on your mouse or on the screen with your finger. As a player you control a black cat named Momo who must defend the Magic Cat Academy from an invasion of ghosts. Google has revealed its latest interactive doodle to celebrate Halloween in the form of a video game themed around the 2015 Global Candy Cup. The Magic Cat Academy doodle is an interactive game that was created by Google as a Halloween-themed doodle.
