• Gameplay
  • How to Play
    • Legal Moves
      • Move a piece to the position of an adjacent piece to swap their positions.
      • Moves must complete one or more runs of 3 or more in a row, or else they will not be allowed.
      • Lines of 3 must be vertical or horizontal. Diagonal lines do not count.
    • Total Move Count
      • You are allowed a maximum of 65 moves throughout the game.
      • If a move you create causes automatic subsequent follow on moves those secondary and tertiary moves do not count against your move total but add to your points scored.
    • Board Size
      • The board starts off as a 6 by 6 grid with 36 pieces in it.
      • As you level up the size of the board grows.
        • First level upgrade 6×7, creating a 42 piece grid.
        • Second level upgrade 7×7, creating a 49 piece grid.
        • Third level upgrade 8×7, creating a 56 piece grid.
        • Forth level upgrade 8×8, creating a 64 piece grid.
        • Fifth level upgrade 9×8, creating a 72 piece grid.
    • Pieces
      • Initially the game contains a green jelly bean, a blue round, a yellow drop, and an orange pentagon.
      • As you level up and progress through the game other pieces like a squarish red piece of gum are added.
      • As you make runs you can also create power pieces that amplify the damage you can do.
  • Creating Power Pieces
    • You can create power pieces by making special combinations. These power pieces can then be used in subsequent matches.
    • Four in a row – creates a striped candy which destroys all candies aligned with the direction of the stripes when it is used as part of a combo of 3 or more in a row. The candy which turns striped is the one you moved into the sequence to complete the run & the stripes run in the same direction as you moved the piece.
    • Connect 2 rows of 3 – creates a plastic wrapper around the candy. When used subsequently this wrapper pops, destroying the 8 adjacent cells.
    • Five in a row – creates a piece of chocolate with sprinkles on it. Touch the chocolate to any adjacent piece to destroy all of those piece types on the level.
    • Using the stripe or plastic wrapper requires you complete a run. The chocolate piece can be used on any cell.
  • Strategy
    • Your move count is limited, so try to create as many power pieces as you can so that you can do a lot of damage to the board with the moves you do make.
      • You do not score a lot of points directly by using a power piece, but rather score many points through the follow on combinations they can create.
    • Consider follow on moves
      • Pieces fall from the top down.
        • This means if you make runs near the top of the board it may adjust the placement or positioning of a few candies to a dozen or so candies, but if you are able to make moves further down on the playing field it changes the relative positioning of dozens of cells.
        • There should generally be a preference for making moves on the bottom half of the board.
      • If there are no great moves to be made on the current playing field then try to make moves which put the playing field in a better position for a combination or using a power piece in the subsequent move.
• Target Audience
  • The bright and colorful graphics makes this game appeal to all ages. The game’s lack of timer and no official levels makes the game more relaxing than many match 3 games where players have to intensely battle the clock.
  • There are no adult themes in this game.
