Candy Crush is a puzzle game that involves making matches of 3 or more colored candy pieces. Players swap candy pieces either horizontally or vertically, and once a match is made, the candy disappears, causing the surrounding pieces of candy to fall into the empty spaces. This sometimes causes a chain reaction, netting players bonuses in the form of increased scores and power-ups. The game also tosses in obstacles for players, like covering candy in jelly that must be eliminated before the candy can be matched. There are more than 100 levels of gameplay, with five different game modes that mix up the goals and maps of the levels so that there is always a fresh challenge. The game is easy to learn and play, but quite a challenge to fully master. Players can take on the saga by themselves, or they may connect with Facebook users to play against others to test their skills and see who can dominate the leaderboard. Candy Crush Saga is appropriate for and playable by kids as young as five years old, although they may experience difficulty passing some of the deeper and more advanced levels of the game.
