Halloween event
Information
Released	October 20, 2021
Occasion	Halloween
Structure	Endless mini game

The Halloween event is a Super Cat Tales 2 update that was released on October 20, 2021. Similar to the winter event, the Halloween event was accessible on the splash screen through a jack-o-lantern icon on the bottom-left corner of the screen. It was removed in an update on November 10, 2021.

Gameplay

The Halloween event is an endless tower defense platformer that takes place in a part of the Bats Graveyard in world 3-4. The player starts in the middle of the castle (on top of the vampire's crypt) and has to defend it from zombified versions of enemies in the main game using weapons that spawn above the two rugs. Enemies will spawn in from the left and right sides of the map and make their way towards the castle. Jack-o-lanterns present in the game can be activated by the player and explode when an enemy makes contact with it, thus killing it.

Any cats and shop items the player has obtained from the main Super Cat Tales 2 game can be equipped in the Halloween event, although some cats and items do not have any function during gameplay. Like the main game, the player is stunned when they make direct contact with an enemy, of which they can recover from. The game ends when the player is hit while stunned or when an enemy crosses over the crypt, of which they will be sent back to the splash screen.

Scoring

Unlike the main game, the Halloween event's score is based on the number of enemies killed, not time. Killing an enemy with a weapon in the castle gives the player 100 points per enemy, while killing an enemy with a jack-o-lantern or with direct contact (if not in stun mode) will score the player 50 points. Only the player's highest score is saved, viewable on the pause screen while playing the event.

Weapons

Weapons are obtainable via floating bubbles above each of the two rugs within the castle. When a weapon is obtained, it automatically fires for a limited period of time, viewable through a small bar at the top left corner of the screen. All weapons can kill enemies with one hit and differ in terms of their behaviour.

• Corn candy - Fires rapidly away from the cat in a straight and horizontal line.
• Bubble gum - Have a small upwards curve and can bounce along the ground and rebound off ledges. They disappear after three bounces or upon hitting an enemy.
• Cotton candy - Fire upwards and away from the cat. Can target ground enemies at close range and air enemies at a higher range above the ground.

Enemies

Enemies are green, zombified versions of enemies in the main game that spawn in from either sides of the area.

• Traveller - A catlike enemy wearing a cap and shoes that walks along the ground and makes small jumps to go up steps and ledges.
• Scarecrow - Travels towards the castle in regular leaps.
• Ghost - Flies through the air in a straight line.

Abilities

The player can equip any cat or items they have obtained, but not every item or cat has a use or the ability may not function in the mini game as it would in the main game.
