Candy Crush Soda Saga
Bubbles Match 3 Puzzle Games!
Dousing a grid full of sticky candy in soda sounds like a recipe for a sugar-fuelled freakout, but it’s actually the set-up for the sequel to the phenomenon that is Candy Crush Saga. In Candy Crush Soda Saga you’ll flood the field of play with gloopy, deep-pink soda by matching the bottles scattered around the grid, unleashing their sugary bounty. Flood the stage, complete the level – but it’s never as easy as it sounds.
What we love: The huge variety of level types, power-ups and other novelties. It starts with the titular soda bottles, but soon there are gummy bears to rescue from underneath the colourful candies – or worse, icy blocks of doom. The boosters get ever more elaborate too: you’ll unlock everything from Double Delish Fish to Supersonic Lollies.
Quick tip: Remember, as you make matches and that bubbly beverage fills up the screen, submerged candies float upward rather than drop down when you pair them up. So turn your thinking upside down when planning your next move.
Meet the creator: King is one of the biggest, most influential names on the App Store, and doesn’t just make Candy Crush games: they’re behind the excellent Bubble Witch, Pet Rescue, and Farm Heroes games too, plus the cracking Crash Bandicoot: On the Run.
