About Magic Cat Academy
Magic Cat Academy is Google's Halloween doodle and one of the best games the company has ever put on its homepage. You play Momo, a cat whose school is overrun by ghosts, and you fight them by drawing the symbol that appears above each one — a line, a zigzag, a circle — with the mouse.
It's a rhythm-and-accuracy game underneath, and it escalates properly: by the final level ghosts arrive from every direction with different symbols at once. It ends with a genuinely good boss fight.
How to play Magic Cat Academy
- Cast a spell
- Draw the symbol shown above a ghost with the mouse
- Touch
- Draw with a finger
- Ghosts appear with a symbol floating above them.
- Draw that symbol to destroy the ghost.
- Ghosts that reach you cost a life.
- Clear each level's waves and beat the boss to finish.
Magic Cat Academy tips
- Draw quickly and roughly — the recognition is forgiving about neatness, not about speed.
- Prioritise the nearest ghost; the ones behind can wait a beat.
- Learn the symbol set so you're not reading each one from scratch.
- During heavy waves, work left to right rather than jumping around.

How do you cast spells?
Draw the shape shown above each ghost with the mouse or your finger. Speed matters far more than neatness — the recognition is deliberately forgiving.
