What is Candy Crush Saga?

Candy Crush Saga is a free-to-play match-3 puzzle video game released by King on April 12, 2012 for Facebook, on November 14, 2012 for iOS, on December 14, 2012 for Android, on December 11, 2014 for Fire OS and January 6, 2015 for Windows Phone. It is a variation of their browser game Candy Crush.

In the game, players complete levels by swapping colored pieces of candy on a gameboard to make a match of three or more of the same color, eliminating those candies from the board and replacing them with new ones, which could potentially create further matches. Matches of four or more candies create unique candies that act as power-ups with larger board-clearing abilities. Boards have various goals that must be completed within a fixed number of moves or limited amount of time, such as a certain score or collecting a specific number of a type of candy.

Candy Crush Saga has over 500 levels organized into episodes and stories. Each episode contains 15, 30, 45 or 60 levels and ends with a finale level with more difficult objectives compared to preceding levels. Players must complete all levels in an episode to unlock the next episode. Lives are lost if a level isn't completed in a certain number of moves. Extra lives are earned over time or bought in the in-game store using gold bars obtained through gameplay progression or through microtransactions. The game extensively uses social features like Facebook connections and challenges.
