🎃Halloween Season🎃
Welcome to Halloween Season in HIGhSCORE! I may have started with just a sprinkle of spookiness, but things got a little out of hand (in the best way). Now the Hub’s haunted, there’s a bat buddy flying around, and pumpkins are practically paying you to play. Check out what’s new below!
- Hub Makeover - The Hub area has been transformed with eerie Halloween decor! Step in and experience the spooky vibes!
- Pumpkin Collectables - Scattered around the Hub, you’ll find collectible pumpkins granting between 250-500 coins each. Don’t miss out on these spooky rewards!
- Bat Companion - During the Halloween season, a helpful Bat Companion will join you in your runs. This winged ally will automatically collect Coins, Orbs, Combo Items and Keys so you can focus entirely on survival. After the season, the bat will fly away, but watch out for future companions with unique abilities in the next major update!
- New Halloween Stage - A chilling new Halloween-themed stage awaits! With a nightmarish setting, this stage will become a permanent addition to HIGhSCORE!
