What the game is
Skulls and Sweets is a match-3 puzzle game released October 11, 2026 at $6.49.
Halloween is in trouble, and it is delicious.
Sophia and Thorn admire each other more than either will admit, and cannot agree on what the night is for.
Story mode
Travel a winding neighbourhood map house by house: the first porches are bright and friendly, and the deeper you go the darker the yards and stranger the neighbours.
Short story scenes play out along the way as the two bicker, boast and maybe come around.
Story Mode has 18 hand-crafted levels along the trick-or-treat road, ending in a showdown at Thorn's home.
Five ways to play and who it is for
Progressive Mode offers 15 escalating levels, Timed Mode starts at 60 seconds and lets each move regain time, and Zen Mode is endless with no rising difficulty.
The Thorn Patch hides monsters deep in the bramble to flush out.
Special pieces include the Witch's Broom that sweeps a row or column clean and the Trick-or-Treat Bag that gobbles every gem of one kind (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
