Candy Crush Saga - Android Game Review

Candy Crush Saga is a title that is sure to be familiar with many people who use social media, even if they are not into playing games. For the past couple of months I have received Facebook requests for a game called Candy Crush. Then I noticed the majority of my friends posting about it.

From what I could gather, it was an addicting game that was being played by my young friends and older relatives alike. I vowed not to fall into the addiction until I finally decided to see what the hype was myself. Within only a couple of minutes, I was immediately addicted to Candy Crush Saga.

Candy Crush Saga Gameplay

The gameplay of Candy Crush Saga is so simple that almost anyone can figure it out right away. The concept is kind of similar to Tetris yet in the style of Bejeweled. There have been games like this on the popular children's website Neopets and spinoffs made by Nintendo for its Pokemon series. Basically, Candy Crush Saga is like Candy Land for adults. Players move along a game board as they progress through each level. Each level is set up with different layers of candy. These candy pieces look like Runts candy or fruit snacks. Each piece has a different color.

The object of the game is to match up a minimum pattern of three of the same colors. Once you make a match, the candies will disappear and the board will alter so that you can make other matches and combinations. If you match 4 or more of the same color you will get certain power-ups. As the game progresses, players will have to beat each board with an objective.

These objectives range from blasting off of the "jelly" off the candies or by bringing special candies to the bottom of the screen. There is no time limit but you do have a limited amount of moves so you will have to make each move wisely. The more you play, the more power-ups you will unlock. You can even connect to Facebook and play along with your friends.

Candy Crush Saga Graphics

The graphics in Candy Crush Saga are great. They are sharp and visually appealing and absolutely colorful, which is crucial to the point of the game. The longer you stare at the screen, the more your mouth will water for some candy of your own.

The graphics of this game are definitely top notch. There are also music and sound effects that come with the game, which fit very well with the graphics and overall point of the game. I recommend playing inside, however, because I sat outside and played and sometimes the screen was hard to see.
Candy Crush Saga  Sounds

There are some really good music and sound effects in the game.

Overall, Candy Crush Saga has indeed proved itself addicting, as I saw on my Facebook account. The game is so simple yet so intense. Every time you fail a level you will find yourself immediately starting it over in an attempt to go on. Since it is a huge Facebook fab, the challenge appeal of this game is as strong as ever. Everyone will want to beat their friends and climb to the top.

I have no regrets about downloading this game and I can definitely see myself continuing to play it as time goes on. If you are looking for a trendy and addictive game, try Candy Crush Saga.
