More about this game
Your goal is to reach 3,000 points by matching colorful candies on a seven-by-seven grid. You swap adjacent pieces to form horizontal or vertical lines of three or more, which clears them and drops new candies from above. The challenge comes from managing two strict limits simultaneously: you only have 24 moves and exactly two minutes to hit the target. A run ends in victory if you reach the score, or defeat if either your moves or the timer hit zero.
Tips
- Focus on creating matches near the bottom of the board. The falling candies will naturally trigger cascades, and each consecutive combo multiplies the points you earn.
- Do not worry about making mistakes while looking for matches. If you attempt a swap that does not create a line of three, it reverts without costing a move.
- If you get stuck, wait seven seconds for the game to automatically highlight a valid swap with a mint green outline, or press the hint button.
Questions
How is the score calculated?
Each cleared candy is worth 60 points multiplied by your current cascade combo. A basic match of three gives 180 points, but a second cascade match immediately doubles the payout.
What happens if there are no matches left?
If the board has no valid moves available, the game will automatically reshuffle all the candies into a fresh batch so you can keep playing without losing a move.
Can I pause the timer?
Yes, you can press the pause button located next to the timer. This hides the board and stops the two-minute clock until you are ready to resume your game.
