One of the very popular game is Candy Crush Saga which was originally launched as a Facebook app back in 2012. The game got really very popular (getting huge number of hits on Facebook) in a very short span of time. It was liked so much by the people that the developer launched the game application for smartphones (Android/iPhone etc).
As per the information on Wikipedia (As of March 2013), “Candy Crush Saga” surpassed the very popular game FarmVille2 and turned to be most popular game on Facebook. It was having about 45.6 million average monthly users. The game had over ten million downloads in December 2012 alone. Almost all of my friends play this game either on their mobile phone or on Facebook. I would rather say all of my friends are Candy Crush addict – this game highly addictive, so please play it at your own risk.
Candy Crush Saga – Game Background
The game is a variation of match three (align three cubes and cross them). Each game level has a different shaped game board filled with candies of three to six different colors and sometimes obstacles. The basic move of the game consists of swapping two candies positions to align sets of three of the same color, where upon they disappear, causing candies above them to collapse into the space left behind, often resulting in chain reactions. Moves and alignments must be horizontal/vertical. The level’s objectives must be met before the player runs out of moves (or time on timed levels). Board size is 9×9 maximum.
You have given number of moves which you can make and you need to complete the objective (of a particular level) before you run out of moves. Get at least 3 in a row to turn them into points. There are 6 different types of candies viz Red (Jelly Bean), Orange (Lozenge), Yellow (Lemon Drop), Green (Square), Blue (Lollipop Head), and Purple (Cluster).
