The new addictive mobile game everyone is playing is called "Candy Crush." The game, made by King.com, is the highest revenue-generating game in company's 10-year history, bringing in an estimated $633,000 per day.
It's a simple puzzle concept. Swipe different colored candies to match three of the same in a row. If you match four or five in a row you get a new candy that does more damage to the board. If you pair two of the new candies together, even more damage is done to the board.
There are more than 350 levels of "Candy Crush" and each has a different mission. Sometimes you're clearing all the "jelly" from a board, or white spaces. Sometimes you're helping specific icons (cherries or nuts) get to the bottom of a board. Other times you need to race to get a certain score in under one minute.
Whether you're just starting out or you're already addicted, there are some tricks everyone needs to know to progress in the game.
Make sure your phone is well charged before you play. "Candy Crush" is a giant battery suck, but it can be played even when you have no cell service.
When you start playing, you're given three free lollipop candies. DO NOT WASTE THEM. They are the only free items you'll ever be given throughout the game.
"Candy Crush" seems really corny and really easy ... until level 30. Stick with it until then, because the game gets really hard, really fast after that.
