Spiralween

A Halloween paper theatre. SPIRALWEEN - the toy theatre where every night is a duel at the wheel

The needle runs round the wheel. Strike the yellow petals as it passes, parry the red ones before they fade - or a candle goes out.
Every strike turns the needle back.

Play the campaign, chase a score in Endless, or sit up to 4 friends at one table.

HOW IT WORKS
• Click when the needle is over a petal. Yellow - you strike the monster. Red -its attack: parry it before it fades, or one of your candles goes out.
• Every strike turns the needle the other way. Hold the right button and it runs faster.
• Click on nothing - half a candle burns down and the needle stumbles. Three clean hits in a row bring half a flame back.
• Petals bloom anywhere round the wheel and shrink as they live - choose your path.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• CAMPAIGN - 30 nights in 10 chapters, from The Porch to The Last Midnight. Every third night a boss takes the stage with a trick of his own.
• ENDLESS - yellow petals score, blue ones buy time. Hits in a row light the candles - up to x5 points. Everyone gets the same deal each day; the best names go to the Hall of Fame.
• THE TABLE - up to 4 players, each on their own wheel, all against one monster that grows with every seat. Burn out and you watch - the night is lost only when everyone is out.

20 PUPPETS · 10 BOSSES · 15 TRICKS
The Scarecrow King, the Gourd King, the Drowned Bride, the Kitchen Witch, the Demon Host and the rest of the troupe.
The Fire Thief steals your flame, the Pumpkin Crust takes two blows, the Mill drags the reds, the Lantern puts the lights out, the Pendulum locks the needle in, the Cauldron boils the colours over, the Wings close the stage - and more.
