Candy Burst

Candy Burst arrives as another entry in a long-running series, and its pitch is volume: several hundred levels, each with a goal, plus missions running alongside them. The rule underneath has not moved in years — combine at least three sweets and they vanish.

Missions are what stop a run of that size flattening out. They ask for something other than the level goal in front of you, so two objectives are usually live at once, and the boards where they overlap are the ones worth spending your best moves on.

Presentation is the other half of the appeal here: sweets are drawn large and glossy, clears are loud, and the whole thing is tuned to feel generous rather than demanding. It is a comfortable run rather than a test.

1. Swap two neighbouring sweets to combine three or more of a kind.
2. Read the level goal, then check whether an active mission overlaps with it.
3. Prioritise moves that serve both at once.
4. Keep going — the run stretches into the hundreds of levels.

Check your mission list before starting a board, not after finishing it. Missions rarely align with the level goal by accident, and spotting the overlap in advance is what turns a long run into a short one.
