Sweet Beasts

In Sweet Beasts the candy you match is also food. A group of monsters with a serious sweet tooth needs feeding, and matching candies and feeding the beasts go together.

Three areas are named for the trip: jelly lagoons, marshmallow mountains and gooey gumdrop forests. Each level is said to bring a new challenge, and sticky obstacles get in the way. Combos are part of the matching, and some are described as explosive. The monsters themselves are a feature: new creatures join as you progress, each with candy-craving powers of its own, although the powers are not described.

The developer claims hundreds of levels and keeps the instructions to one line, telling you to match three and win. It is shown in a landscape frame, 800 by 600. Despite the word beasts in the title, the developer describes the monsters as adorable.

Match three or more candies of the same kind to clear them and feed your monsters. Look for combos, which can be explosive. Work around the sticky obstacles each level adds, and clear the level to move on through the gumdrop forests, marshmallow mountains and jelly lagoons. New monsters join you as you go, each bringing powers of its own.

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 new creatures and their powers arrive with progress, check what each new monster can do when it first appears. Sticky obstacles are listed among the challenges, so expect them to turn up regularly. Combos are where the bigger effects come from, so they are worth looking for on every board.

Treat Tumble also moves through named sweet areas, soda swamps and cookie cliffs among them, and Cats and Candies has a group of cats collecting the treats you match.
