CANDY DREAM

CANDY DREAM is a candy-matching game laid out in a wide landscape frame. The board holds a mix of different sweets, and the basic move is to swap two candies that sit next to each other so that three or more of the same kind line up in a row or a column.

Each level comes with its own objectives. The examples the developer gives are reaching a certain score, collecting particular candies, and clearing obstacles. Progress through the levels is how special power-ups become available, and high scores are part of the appeal. The developer does not say how many levels there are or what the power-ups do.

The format is the familiar one for this kind of game, and what changes from level to level is the target, whether that is points or a particular candy.

Choose two neighbouring candies and swap them so that three or more of the same type line up, either across or down. That match clears them. Before starting a level, look at its objectives: you may need a certain score, a number of particular candies, or a board cleared of obstacles. Meet the objectives to finish the level and move on.

The developer does not list the controls for this game. It runs inside the frame above, so a click or a tap on the game is the place to start.

Since objectives differ between levels, read them first, and choose your swaps with that goal in mind. A level asking for particular candies needs those candies matched; a score target or a board full of obstacles needs something else. Special power-ups become available as you progress, so use them when they arrive.

A candy match-3 in a landscape frame (960 by 540). Level objectives include target scores, collecting particular candies and clearing obstacles. Special power-ups are earned with progress. No level count is given.
