Think you know match-3 games? Candy Champions changes the rules. Enter a sweet match-3 puzzle game built for competitive online PvP multiplayer. Swap and match candy, crush tiles, build massive combos and chain reactions, and charge candy heroes to unleash Special Blocks, skills, and power-ups. Win with strategy, tactics, and perfect timing in fast turn-based battles. MULTI-SWAP MATCH-3 On your turn, you can make more than one swap before time runs out. Every successful match resets the timer, letting you extend combos, trigger longer chain reactions, and charge the right heroes for a crushing attack. The bigger the combo, the harder your team hits. Battle in fast, turn-based multiplayer matches that last only a few minutes. Each player fights on their own board, so you can plan ahead, shape your next turn, and win through timing, setup, and tactical play. BUILD YOUR TEAM Create a team of 4 candy-powered heroes and fight your way to glory. Every hero has a unique role and a unique skill, so your lineup changes the way you play. Learn your team, time your activations, and outplay your opponent with the right skill at the right moment. MASTER THE BOARD • Make multiple swaps in a single turn • Build huge clusters and long chain reactions • Create powerful Special Blocks through huge combos • Rearrange the board at the end of your turn to prepare an even stronger next move • Win through planning, not blind luck TURN MATCHES INTO BATTLES Matching does more than clear the board. Your combos deal damage, charge heroes, heal allies, and help bring fallen champions back into the fight. Match Mana Blocks to fill your mana bar, then activate hero skills to attack, defend, heal allies, or disrupt enemy plans. Strong matching and smart skill timing can wipe out an enemy team in just a few turns. RISE THROUGH THE CANDY EMPIRE Your journey begins in the outskirts of the Candy Empire, in the world of Cakery, where local challenges set fighters on the road to the Imperial Tournaments and the legendary Cake Throne. Along the way, Tiramisus — son of Emperor HugeBelly — bears witness to your rise. Fight well, win big, and the Empire shall hear of this. WHY CANDY CHAMPIONS STANDS OUT • Live PvP turn-based match-3 battles • Multiple swaps per turn for deeper combo strategy • Tactical hero skills powered by mana • Fast matches built for short sessions • Team building, healing, resurrection, and counters • A fun candy-fantasy world with an imperial story and glorious arena battles Enter the arena, crush your rivals, and earn your place on the road to the Cake Throne.

Welcome to Chess Tiles! The goal of the game is to clear all the pieces, three layers in all. You can play it on your own or get some help from the brain! Each piece has rules about which locations can be used next. The number pieces reach locations exactly that number of squares away in any row, column, or diagonal. The chess pieces behave like in chess but, other than the knight, they must move all the way to the edge. There is one special piece that is discovered when you clear all pieces in the game past a layer. That special piece can reach any location on the board.
