Development Team:
Created by indie studio ShadowPaws, known for mobile hits like Zombie Pet Salon. The team combines veteran developers from Angry Birds spin-off projects with animators specializing in cartoon horror aesthetics. Their focus on slapstick physics and bite-sized levels reflects expertise in casual mobile gaming.
Competitive Products:
- Ghost Hotel Tycoon: Deeper strategy but lacks Spooky Cat’s humor.
- Haunt the House: Similar concept, but has dated graphics and no customization.
- Frightened Felons: Multiplayer-focused but overloaded with intrusive ads.
Market Performance:
Rated 4.6/5 on Google Play (1M+ downloads) and 4.8/5 on iOS (750K+ downloads). Users praise its charm and creativity but criticize energy-system monetization. Recent “Haunted Garden” update boosted retention by 30%, per Sensor Tower Q3 reports.
