### 4/5 — so fun and addicting 😭

*2025-10-21, version 3.2.26*

at first glance I thought it would be some 8bit open world judging by the app art until I actually played. it is so fun but super underrated?! this game deserves so much more love omg. I do have occasional crashes once in a while but this is still super well made! :)

### 4/5 — Fun but Crashed

*2025-09-30, version 3.2.26*

This game is really fun but whenever I get to a the Jungle level my game crashes

### 4/5 — Game closes itself :-(

*2025-08-27, version 3.2.26*

Everything about this game is wonderful, been playing it for a while now! However there’s an issue within the Botanical Ballroom  level right now, everything goes fine until the exploding pumpkins start to appear the moment the first one bursts the game closes itself :-(
I thought it was an issue with my phone since it’s a bit old, but i already saw some opinions where the same thing happens. I hope this is fixable!!

### 4/5 — Fun, but buggy

*2025-08-15, version 3.2.26*

I really enjoy the game but on the botanical ballroom level, my game keeps crashing. 

I wasnt sure where to report a bug so I left a review.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-07-28, version 3.2.26*

I got this game from a video and it was fun to play, but I keep crashing even when I use graphics 1 and I only crash on the jack’o lanterns and no where else, I have a iPhone 15 pro max and it still crashes

### 4/5 — Bummer about level cap

*2025-07-21, version 3.2.26*

Love this game, have no joke had it on my last three phones and have played it since college. Kind of a bummer that there’s a level cap, I feel like i’ve done everything there is to do, discovered all the charms and all that. Still, really fun and adorable! If there wasn’t a level cap, it’d be 5 stars

### 5/5 — Mükemmel

*2025-07-17, version 3.2.26*

Reklam ve oyun dengesi mükemmel, oyunu doğru düzgün oynamanıza müsaade ediyor. Oynanış da aynı şekilde çok keyifli, rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim ki bu zamana kadar telefonda en çok keyif alarak oynadığım oyun oldu. Keşke devam ettirselerdi de farklı Boss Fight ve Bölümler olsaydı. Uzun süredir şu an ki halinde oyun ve sanırım daha fazla devam ettirmeyi düşünmediler.

### 5/5 — HIDDEN GEM!! Offline, Entertaining, Challenging

*2025-07-03, version 3.2.26*

I play Candies ‘n Curses when I have little to no internet connection and want to spend time and cure my boredom. I usually uninstall my offline games once they get boring, but I’m in love with the pixel art and graphics here, which are so satisfying to the eye and smooth. The gameplay is balanced and challenging. It’s not pay-to-win, the levels get harder as you progress (it makes an effort to avoid repetitiveness too), and no “challenge” or “side task” is too easy. There are many items (flashlights, curses, candies, achievements, bosses) you can collect, so it’ll be long before you get bored. There’s also a leaderboard and speed run timer if you’re competitive. The settings allow you to customize your gameplay according to its difficulty (assist mode) and graphics. Surprisingly, all of this was made by a small team, which makes it all the more impressive. I don’t usually write reviews (not this long anyway) but this game is enjoyable overall and I highly recommend you play it.

### 5/5 — The best mobile game I’ve ever played

*2025-06-25, version 3.2.26*

One of if not the best mobile game I’ve played. It’s super fun and has barely any ads in it. It’s difficult but not to the point where you’d wanna rage quit but instead want to try again.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-06-17, version 3.2.26*

This is a fun game, I enjoy trying to get a higher score while making it to the final boss. The bosses are all fun to take on as well.

### 5/5 — Still Luv it!

*2025-06-16, version 3.2.26*

I wish this game had more popularly but it’s ok I still play it when there’s no WiFi/Internet and I play this game during Road Trips :D

### 4/5 — Great game, but…

*2025-05-28, version 3.2.26*

I love the gameplay and like the content, but the prices for some of the flashlights can be quite high, and there’s a bug involving the Blight Blade and Scorch Blade causing it to crash on longer floors.

### 4/5 — Pumpkin curse

*2025-05-25, version 3.2.26*

For some reason whenever the pumpkins spawn in level 5 the game immediately crashes for me. I play on iOS 11 so it may not be a problem for everyone.

### 4/5 — Amazing game but

*2025-05-06, version 3.2.26*

Very fun and great game but in the second to last level when the pumpkins spawn in my game crashes and I’m on iPhone 15 plus?

### 3/5 — Super Spiel jedoch..

*2025-04-26, version 3.2.26*

Das Spiel ist wirklich genial. Steuerung ist smooth. Der rogue-like Aspekt ist auch super. Und die Waffen machen echt Spaß.
Aber leider gibt es zur Zeit starke Probleme mit Abstürzen. Grade beim JackoLantern Boss stürzt das Spiel gerne mal ab. Gut das es die Fortsetzenfunktion gibt aber leider hilft sie nicht und das Spiel stürzt wirklich gerne trotzdem nochmal bei der gleichen Stelle ab.
Hoffe das kann schnell gefixt werden, dann ist das Spiel nämlich ein absolutes 5/5 Game.

### 5/5 — Love this game + bug report

*2025-04-15, version 3.2.26*

I have played this game for awhile I started trying to get tako boys when I came across a bug that when you hit any boss with the ball firefly and the sword at the same time it double damage when I know it’s not supposed to not really bad thing just watching report it for balancing

### 4/5 — El juego se cierra solo

*2025-04-06, version 3.2.26*

el juego es muy bueno y entretenido, pero cuando estoy jugando el juego se cierra solo, específicamente en el nivel Botanical Ballroom, no sé porque pasa eso si tengo buen espacio, arreglen eso por favor
