Candy Match is a match-3 puzzle with clear goals. Swap neighbouring sweets to line up three or more, then watch cascades fall into place. Line up four for a row-clearing sweet, five for a colour bomb. Each of the 30 levels has its own objective — a score target, a collection goal or breaking every ice tile — and a limited number of moves.
How to play Candy Match
Goal: Complete each level’s goal before you run out of moves.
Keyboard & mouse
- Click a sweet, then click a neighbour to swap — or drag it
- P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Swipe a sweet towards a neighbour to swap, or tap one then the other
Rules
- Swap two neighbouring sweets to make a line of 3 or more.
- Swaps that do not make a match are undone and do not use a move.
- Four in a line makes a striped sweet that clears its row.
- Five in a line makes a colour bomb that clears every sweet of one colour.
- If no moves are left, the board reshuffles for free.
- Ice tiles break when you make a match on top of them; some levels ask you to break them all.
Tips and strategy
- Make matches near the bottom to set off more cascades.
- Save colour bombs for the colour your goal needs.
- Look for moves that line up two matches at once.
