Candy Cracker

Candy Cracker is a relaxing match-3 puzzle game for iPhone and iPad: swap neighboring candies to line up three of a kind, craft striped, wrapped and rainbow specials, and combine them into board-clearing chain reactions across 1000 levels. It is made for people who want a calm puzzle they can pick up anywhere. The whole game works offline — no internet connection, no account, no sign-up — and there are no forced ads: videos are always optional and always rewarded, never an interstitial, never a banner, never during a level. Every candy color also has its own shape, so the board stays readable if you are colorblind. FEATURES • 1000 levels across four goal types: score runs, jam clearing, cookie deliveries and candy orders — plus mixed levels that combine them • 20 candy worlds: every level is played in its chapter's own scenery, from the snowy Peppermint Peaks to Rainbow Ridge • A helping hand when you're stuck: after a miss or two, the candies start falling your way — the game never makes a level harder • Special candies and combos: striped blasts, wrapped explosions and the board-clearing rainbow candy • Tricky blockers: ice, cages and sticky goo that spreads if you ignore it • Boosters when you need them: candy hammer, free switch and head starts • Daily bonuses and play streaks with growing rewards • 33 achievements and Game Center leaderboards for your best scores • Colorblind-friendly: every candy color has its own shape • No forced ads — videos are always optional and always rewarded • No account needed. Your progress stays on your device. Free to play, with optional in-app purchases for coins and an optional monthly subscription.
