Not only does this switch up any matching opportunities, it inverts the usual match-3 mechanic that making combos low down on the grid will increase your odds of subsequent moves. Making matches causes the grid to fill with fizzy purple froth that causes any candy not weighed down to float upwards instead of falling down. The most notable, funnily enough, is the soda. Special power-ups can be gained by clearing combos of sweets in one fell swoop, and those pesky obstacles have made a return.Ĭupcake holders, ice blocks, and licorice laces lock away vital pieces of the puzzle, and will require careful strategising (and a fair amount of teeth grinding) to overcome. Once more, your job is to match three of the same coloured candies to clear the grid. The game's sugar-coated world is instantly recognisable, populated by Willy Wonka-esque levels laid out like a board game. Internally, King has made no secret of the fact that Candy Crush Soda Saga is not intended as a sequel. Instead you launch a virtually identical game, stick the word "soda" in the strapline, and pump it to the masses as a related but unique title. The answer, apparently, is that you don't even try. How do you top a game that's become so pervasive, it might as well come pre-loaded onto all new devices?
So it's no wonder it's been all scratchy-heads over at King headquarters. The original Candy Crush Saga wasn't so much a game as a cultural phenomenon, prompting millions of people to play mobile games in the same way the pied piper once charmed children from the town of Hamelin. Love it or loathe it, King's saccharine match-three puzzler isn't going away any time soon. When the inevitable nuclear /zombie/ killer-space-mice apocalypse arrives, only three things will remain.Ĭockroaches, Matthew McConaughey's adamantium-coated teeth, and the 1,235,884,345.5 smartphones loaded with Candy Crush Saga, scattered among the world's ashes.
