Candy Cascade

What looks like a harmless sugar rush quickly reveals itself as a thoughtful little puzzle workout where every tap matters, since matching groups of two or more identical candies is the only way to clear the board and your moves are always limited. Each level asks you to collect specific sweets while also dealing with annoyances like wooden blocks, honey, and jam that stubbornly cling to the grid until you clear them properly, and if a key shows up it will not magically help itself, you have to guide it down by removing tiles beneath it. Bigger matches feel extra satisfying because they help generate bonuses, including rockets that can blast through multiple tiles at once, which is especially useful when jam is involved since collecting it earns you these helpful power ups. The whole thing has a gentle tap to destroy rhythm similar to classics like SameGame, Bubble Shooter, or the more relaxed side of Candy Crush, with bright candy shop visuals that keep things cheerful even when a level gets tricky. There is a quiet strategic layer too, because careless taps can leave you stranded with single candies and no legal moves, which makes planning ahead more important than speed. Fun candy trivia for the road, the idea of using keys in puzzle games goes way back to early tile games in the 1980s, where keys were often used to teach players about cause and effect long before tutorials were a thing, and apparently we are still happily falling for it decades later..
