Candy Crush Soda Saga (2025)

Candy Crush Soda Saga is a match-3 video game developed by King (also known as King.com). It is the second installment to the legendary Candy Crush Saga, the most popular world-widely known Facebook, iOS and Android game.

Development[]

In May 2014, a sequel titled Candy Crush Soda Saga was soft-launched by King, with a similar design but new gameplay dynamics, such as a soda bottle piece that can shift gravity.^[1][2]

On October 20, 2014, the Facebook version of Candy Crush Soda Saga was released worldwide^[3] and the mobile app was released in November on the Android and iOS platforms.^[4][5][6] The app was subsequently made available for Windows 10 and Windows Phone in October 2015. Among other gameplay changes, Candy Crush Soda Saga introduces soda candies that release soda that fill the puzzle board from the bottom up, causing candies to float up to the highest soda level.

Gameplay[]

Candy Crush Soda Saga nearly has similar gameplay with its predecessor, but adds some new game modes and new game mechanism. In the game, there are 7 level types: Soda levels, Frosting levels, Chocolate levels, Honey levels, Honey levels, Bubble Gum levels, Jam levels. Fizz levels used to be available before removal. In addition to having 6 candy colors, 2 new ones have been added: a cyan diamond-shaped candy and a black candy, black candy gives players powerful effect when there are more candies matched. Not only that, the game creates 2 new special candy type and candy formation: a candy fish will be created when there are 4 candies in a square, a coloring candy will be created where there are 5 candies in a row and one candy at the middle. With the word "Soda" in the brand, a bottle is also included as a new type of candy.

Gameplay is similar to the original, with minor twists added through new level objectives. The player will start out dealing with popping soda bottles by matching them with similarly colored candies to get the level of soda to reach the top of the game board. Making matches and clearing candies above the soda causes new candies to fall from the top. Clearing candies in the soda causes new candies to float up from the bottom. Clear a few of those, and the game introduces frosting and gummy bears. In these kind of levels, they need to make matches immediately adjacent to frosting blocks in order to clear it and find where the hidden gummy bears are. From there, they will need to make matches on top of said gummy bears to break them free. There is also a honey mode which you can probably guess by now involves matching candies in different specific places as well.

Matching a two by two square of candies forms a candy fish, or Swedish fish. When the players match that Swedish fish again with similar colored candies, it will seemingly fairly intelligently float to knock out a block which always seems to help them out with whatever the particular level objective is. Swedish fish inherit the properties when matched with other special candies. For instance, combining a Swedish fish with a striped candy will cause the Swedish fish to float somewhere then activate the stripe candy to clear a row in whatever direction the stripes were going. Combining Swedish fish with other special candies usually results in very awesome things.

Matching five candies to make a color bomb is difficult enough, but now matching six or seven candies produces a coloring candy. Somewhat similar to the color bomb, activating the coloring candy is as simple as swapping it with a nearby candy. It will then change the color of all those kind of candies the player swapped with to the color of the coloring candy.^[7]

Reception[]

When the game was first released, it received a lot of attention from players because of its new and unique gameplay. Not just falling candies from the top, they now even fall from bottom when the soda water is raising. Swedish fish is now easier to make and create a lot of combination with other special candies. Combine coloring candy with others even give more powerful than colour bomb. The diversity of game modes is also a thing that attracts more players to come. This next installment in the Candy Crush franchise offers players lots of new dimensions of gameplay which will keep them engaged and wanting to progress further through the Saga map.^[8]. The game also has earned $2 billion revenue since its launch in 2014, according to market analyst Sensor Tower.^[9]
