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 โ€” no internet connection, no account, no sign-up โ€” 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.

About

A small flower shop, a shelf of pots, and someone at the counter who needs a bouquet by this afternoon. Cozy Posy is a sorting puzzle you play from behind the counter. Rosa needs flowers for her spring wedding. Grandma Fern wants something for her Sunday table. Ivy is buying for no reason at all. Each order is a level, and each level is a small problem with a real answer. HOW IT WORKS Your pots hold flowers in rows, stacked front to back, and only the front row can be touched. Tap a stem, tap another pot, and it moves โ€” any pot with a free slot will take it. No colour matching, no rules about where a flower is allowed to go. Gather three of the same bloom in one front row and they tie into a bouquet and leave the board. Then the row behind steps forward. That is what makes this different from the sorting puzzles you already know. Emptying a pot does not shrink the board โ€” it opens a new one. You can see one row ahead through the gaps, so the game rewards planning rather than luck, while the rows deeper down stay a mystery until you get there. Butterfly pots stay sealed until two pots beside them are completely empty. Dry pots want watering. Some stems keep their faces hidden until their row arrives. EVERY ORDER HAS A DEADLINE An order is a promise, so every level carries a move budget and a delivery time. The order card shows you both before you start โ€” the first order allows 21 moves and 1:14. Run either one out and the order is lost, and a lost order costs a life. Neither number is a designer's guess. All 500 levels were solved by a computer before they shipped, and each level's limits and its star thresholds are set from that measured route. Three flowers on the win screen means you finished within fifteen percent of the shortest solution found. On a level you have already beaten, that is worth going back for. IN THE SHOP - 500 levels, a few minutes each, along a painted garden path - 16 flowers to collect โ€” tulip, peony, poppy, iris, lily of the valley, crocus and more โ€” each with its own place in your album - Eight regulars with their own orders, their own portraits and their own thank-yous - Five helpers for when a board goes wrong: hammer, shovel, hourglass, refresh, watering can - A flower shop of your own to furnish with the coins your orders earn - A daily gift that grows across the week - Five lives, with one coming back every thirty minutes - Music, sound effects and vibration each switch off in Settings - Plays offline. No account, no sign-up. Cozy Posy is free. Ads are opt-in only: there are no banners, and nothing interrupts a board. Coins come from filling orders, and can also be bought if you would rather not wait for them.
