Trick or treat? Smash your way down the sweetest tower of Halloween!

Candy Helix is a one-touch arcade game. A tall candy tower spins around a striped candy stick, and your little pumpkin sits on top. Hold anywhere to smash down through the peppermint and candy corn. Let go and the pumpkin bounces, which is exactly what you want over the dark licorice: licorice is far too chewy to smash.

Keep holding through a stack of candy corn to fill up a Sugar Rush. Every licorice wheel turns rainbow, and your pumpkin blasts straight through the licorice in a shower of sprinkles. Land on the big smiling pumpkin at the bottom and watch its face light up as candy flies everywhere. Friendly bats and ghosts cheer you on all the way down.

Every tower spins a little faster than the last. Grab a wrapped sweet for a bubble-gum bubble that saves you once, and look out for a Treat Tower every fifth level. Collect coins and swap your pumpkin for a Marshmallow Ghost, Gumball, Candy Apple, Moon Cookie or Jawbreaker. No sign-up and no download: it runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers.

How to play

Hold anywhere to smash down through the peppermint and candy corn, and let go to bounce. Always let go over the dark licorice: it is too chewy to smash. Hold through the candy corn to fill a Sugar Rush and blast through the rainbow licorice, then land on the big pumpkin at the bottom.
