King Digital Entertainment has given the popular Candy Crush series its third title and is now available for Android, iPhone and Windows. Popular game developers confirmed the news earlier this week, and here’s what Candy Crush junkies need to know.
Jelly Saga is the third game from the gaming company and was released as 2016 began, just in time for those New Year’s resolutions to fade and get distracted by addictive gameplay.
Anyone who’s played the original Candy Crush Saga or its sequel, Soda Saga, will be right home. The gameplay is similar, but there are also some exciting new changes and additions to this immensely popular, time-consuming and frustrating game. Below is a quick clip showing the first 20 minutes of the game, additional details and download links for those who want it right now.
Alongside the usual candy-matching game mechanics are a host of brand new challenges and cool abilities that can be unlocked, but of course it will take some time. With Jelly Saga, its levels are spread across multiple grids that connect by making matches on purple jelly squares. This time it’s all about jelly.
Cover the entire purple square stage with Jelly and let the players continue. There are also new 2×2 squares that offer special power-ups like small fish that slide from square to square, and smear jelly around the board to help you clear matches faster. Here is a quick video showing action.
There are two new game modes with Jelly Saga; Jelly and Boss. With Jelly Mode, players have to take turns matching candies and jellies to complete the levels. In boss mode, players must test their elite skills against the Jelly Queen and her little queen minions.
There are also new things called Pufflers, little marshmallows sneaking under the icy squares. Players must make matches and reveal them before moving around the grid or map. It’s like a little bonus to clean up as quickly as possible. Developers King has also added 120 new levels to Candy Kingdom. So there will be a lot of levels where players will be stuck for a very long time and eventually go further in the game.
The game was released yesterday, January 7, on iOS, Windows 10 for Android, iPhone and iPad. Saga and Soda Saga are two of the 5-10 top-grossing mobile games in the US, and Jelly Saga make the list as soon as it will likely be.
In less than 24 hours on the Google Play Store, Jelly Saga has reached over 1 million downloads, nearly 60,000 reviews, and more to come at the time of this writing. There seems to be a few launch issues initially, but updates are expected in the coming days so players can get back to their Candy Crush.
