It’s a smart system to bring new users, which has proven very beneficial for King, but it’s very annoying for everyone else involved. Also, the game replenishes your lives automatically, but this can take several hours. If you prefer to not annoy your friends with requests (the internet community thanks you, by the way), you can buy lives using gold bars (read: money). Lose all five lives available and you won’t be able to play, unless someone sends you lives through Facebook. It would be way too easy otherwise, wouldn’t it? Spend up your turns and you’ll lose a life. The catch is that the game gives you a certain amount of turns to do it. How do you do it? Mix candies that are covered by jelly with candies that aren’t, and the jelly will spread through all blocks involved. The game starts off easy by asking you to “spread the jelly.” This means that the whole board has to be covered in this weird purple substance. Candy Crush Jelly Saga never shows you a proper tutorial, but makes a good job of explaining what you have to do through other means. Also, through loading screens, the game explains what combos you can make in order to get special candies. This is a great way of guiding newcomers through their first experience and make things easier for them. Through the first levels, after doing nothing for several seconds, the game will feel your desperation and automatically suggest a move. This new component is easily identifiable because of its purple hue, in contrast to the normal blue board. However, this game introduces you to a new element in the Candy Crush franchise, called “Jelly” (that’s the Jelly in Candy Crush Jelly Saga). Just as previous Candy Crush games, you have to progress through sequential levels, which the game calls Story Mode. Each game starts by telling you the mission to achieve, so you can plan your strategy accordingly. The main goal is extremely simple: match three or more candies of the same type to make them disappear from the board, and continue doing so until you complete a certain task.

Features The game doesn’t show you a full-scale tutorial, but it guides you through the basics pretty well.įor those of you who haven’t played previous Candy Crush games, it’s a puzzle game very similar to Bejeweled. Connecting the game to Facebook is not mandatory at all, but there are a couple of features locked behind it (which will be detailed later). The main screen shows only two buttons: Play and Connect (with a Facebook logo on it). For those wondering, Candy Crush Jelly Saga doesn’t offer a way of linking your Google Play Games account, since (as you may have realized by now) King highly encourages you to connect the game to Facebook. Run out of lives and you have to ask for them on Facebook to continue playing, buy them, or wait.Jelly is introduced to shake things up a bit.Same core gameplay as previous Candy Crush entries.
