About this game
In 2012, one of the most important free games in modern history was born. It was one of those titles that marked a before and after in what was to come in one of the most popular and prominent industries in the technology economy. British firm King launched Candy Crush Saga and ushered in a new era in mobile games.
Candy Crush Saga can be downloaded for free in the virtual stores of Android and iOS. The app belongs to the wide range of quality that King offers for mobile phones. Among other successful releases it has: Candy Crush Soda, Farm Heroes Saga, Bubble Witch 3, Candy Crush Friends and Pet Rescue Saga.
Playing Candy Crush Saga became a worldwide phenomenon. The objective of the delivery is to combine candies to overcome levels and obtain as many points as possible. Each scenario has a different mission so the strategy to be used should not always be the same. We also have special combinations or objects that can enhance our performance.
We will have to apply tactics and strategy to travel the huge world of levels of Candy Crush Saga. The King app has thousands and thousands of scenarios and new ones are added every two weeks. You will never finish playing this title and you will always have new challenges.
Among other advantages of Candy Crush Saga you will find incentives such as the possibility of spinning a daily roulette to get advantages and benefits. Some of the available game modes are: "Target Score", "Clear the Jelly", "Collect the Ingredients" or "Order Mode".
King's installment became so popular because it was one of the first quality free apps. She applied the model that is known as freemium. That is, it can be enjoyed without paying and if you want to get extra content or in-game advantages, it is possible to make small transactions. In this way everyone has the chance to enjoy the product in their own way. Paying or not.
Candy Crush Saga is a unique game and, at this point, a classic on mobile. If you want a colorful, fun challenge that you won't be able to stop playing, this is a great option.

3 Tricks for Candy Crush Saga you didn't know
| Trick | Description |
|---|---|
1Utilize the 'Exit Level' Trick | If you're stuck on a difficult level and low on lives, exiting the level *before* you run out of moves often won't cost you a life. The game sometimes registers you as not having completed the level, and you can retry without penalty. This isn't guaranteed but can save lives! |
2Strategic 'Sugar Crush' | At the end of a level, the 'Sugar Crush' bonus converts any remaining moves into special candies. To maximize this effect, try to save color bombs and striped candies towards the end of the level. Combining them during Sugar Crush creates huge board clearing effects. |
3Time Zone Life Refill | While somewhat unreliable and frowned upon by some, changing the time zone on your device forward can sometimes trick the game into refilling your lives faster. Use this sparingly and with caution, as it's not officially supported and may cause unexpected behavior. |
