Halloween Swipe is an addictive match-3 game with a strong holiday favor. Although all the interactive objects in this game are featured with classic Halloween tropes and elements, to its essence, this game adheres to classic match-3 puzzle gameplay. To beat the game, particularly those harder levels without reaching your hand into your deep pocket, there are some practical tips and tricks players should bear in mind.

The number one tip for all match-3 games is to take a general look at your level objective and the playing interface. This may sound quite basic and simple, yet so many players do not pay enough attention to this very humble step and straight up blitz through the puzzles and fail in the end as they run out of the legit moves. It is important to know that it is not necessary to clear all the puzzles to win a level. Instead, just make sure you’re not wasting your moves on things you don’t need and complete just sufficient puzzles as it needs to pass. At the same time, checking the goal also makes sure players do not miss any given missions.

Also, having a big macro picture of the layout of the puzzles is very helpful. This step helps players to play mindfully with necessary calculations. Having a big picture in mind helps players better prepare the moves and have more anticipation for possible outcomes. In general, the main goal of each level is to clear a certain number of spaces in the given number of moves. Apart from looking at the whole set-up, players can also try to trigger moves that entail chain reactions. This would greatly speed up the efficiency of the gaming progress.

Another mistake many players need to avoid is over-relying on the in-game hints for moves. Sometimes when players are stuck in the middle of the game, they might resort to hints for the next move. However, those suggestions can often be very random and less productive. Players should think twice and take another look at the whole picture before they trust the in-game suggestions.
