Googleis celebrating Halloween with a cute new Google Doodle game,auditory eroticism featuring the return of its magic-wielding black cat Momo.

The third instalment in Google Doodle's Magic Cat Academyseries, 2024's Halloween game has Momo once again waving a wand to banish malevolent ghosts. This ghostbusting feline first appeared in Google's 2016 Halloween Doodle, when she fought off spectres in a Harry Potter-esque school setting. She then returned in the 2020 Halloween Google Doodle, diving into the ocean to dispatch ghouls beneath the waves. 

Now Momo is headed into the opposite direction, riding a broom to the upper atmosphere to wreck wraiths in the sky.

As in the previous Magic Cat AcademyGoogle Doodles, players must quickly draw the symbols floating above each ghosts' heads to banish them. While simple enough, it can get trickier when each enemy has a string of different signs — and when there's an entire horde coming at you at once.
