A FESTIVE WORLD Discover bright 3D-style artwork, animated candy effects, New Year scenery, music, and sound effects. The interface adapts to iPhone and iPad. PLAYS AND PURCHASES A new installation starts with 20 plays. Starting a new game uses one play; advancing through levels within the same game does not use another. Optional rewarded videos grant five plays only after successful completion. Optional 30-play and 80-play packs are consumable purchases. Unlimited removes ads and allows unlimited games. Progress and unused play credits are stored on your device. Consumable credits cannot be restored after deletion or a device change. Unlimited can be restored through Restore Purchases.
