Millions of players have treated themselves to Candy Crush Saga. And years after the game’s 2012 debut, its colourful cast and confection-filled puzzles are tastier than ever. Here’s what makes King’s blockbuster one of the App Store’s most divine games.
So much flavour
Candy Crush doesn’t just add a dab of frosting and call it cake: this game commits to its theme. Candy Kingdom’s road takes you through one scrumptious locale after another – from early areas like Caramel Cove to newer spots such as the fiendishly tricky Rainbow Reef. Who knows what mouthwatering regions await?
So many sweets
Of course, the puzzles are the real prize – and there are currently thousands of them. Whether you’re breaking liquorice locks or collecting cherries, each conundrum feels fresh and challenging. Especially when you’re clearing obstacles with flying jellyfish or zapping them with a colour bomb. Delicious!
So many rivals
With the addition of Episode Race, this mainly single-player game feels surprisingly competitive. At the start of each episode, you’re matched with four human opponents; the first to finish wins a pile of gold. Weekly Race leaderboards offer the perfect place to show off your skills.
