This is a match-three puzzle game with an aesthetic dedicated to all things sweet.
As a match-three game, your goal is to line up three or more objects of the same kind on a grid of different sweets. Clearing a batch of sweets removes them from the grid, causing other pieces to fall into place. Clear groups of four or more sweets and you gain different power-ups that grant you unique single-use special abilities.
The game is also constantly receiving updates with new levels, meaning you can never master every stage that the game offers you. Levels can also have time limits or other requirements, meaning you can always find a challenge in some form or another. However, success is not binary in "Candy Crush Saga;" your performance is rated after clearing every stage. The better you do, the more stars you earn. Stars are currency for unlocking later levels.
While the game's presentation is crisp, pleasant and visually appealing, it is also well-known for its prevalence of expensive microtransactions to acquire power-ups. If you would rather play for free, you can try asking friends to play: every friend registered with this game yields boosts like extra turns or lives.
