The genre lives on instant restarts, a single, easy-to-read score and the "one more go" effect. Candy Match3 understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. The skills it leans on are focus and focus; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks

  • Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
  • Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
  • Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
  • Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
  • Because this is a Match 3 game, work from the bottom of the board so cascades do the work for you.

Who will enjoy it

We would recommend Candy Match3 to anyone with a few minutes to spare and a competitive streak. In terms of time, think of runs of thirty seconds to a few minutes, endlessly repeatable. The learning curve is simple rules, high skill ceiling. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
