Super Candy Cruncher Demo

As Candy Crush Saga already showed us, you can mesmerize millions of people with the power of candy, which means that you probably achieve similar results if you tweak the formula little bit. However, the main gameplay concept must be just as simple to grasp, because casual gamers do not have the patience to get acquainted with intricate rules and mechanics.

Super Candy Cruncher is almost just as simple and intuitive, although it requires a bit more work than you regular puzzle game. In essence, the main goal is to clear a certain number of lines, by arranging the candy by color and shape. Depending on how long you take to finish the level, a number of points are awarded to you at the end, which counts toward the final high score.

To begin with, you need to know that there is a time limit you must keep an eye on, otherwise you lose the round even if you do not many any mistakes. Each time you complete a line, more time is added on top of your remaining one, although it’s not always enough. In fact, the difficulty curve in this regarded is very chaotic, because although the first few levels are almost facile, they quickly get downright impossible.

One of the most disappointing things about the game is the fact that there is only one mode to play, which means that it has the potential to get boring in a hurry. While there are new items and challenges added on a regular basis, such as the black jellybeans that cannot be moved, the experience gets stale after a few levels. Moreover, the annoying difficulty curve might prove to be too much to give the game a second chance.

As far as the technical aspects of the game are concerned, it’s a relief that the visual quality is decent, although the graphics won’t win any awards. It’s rather disappointing that the backgrounds do not change from stage to stage, but at least some of the candy is replaced every once in a while. The interface is simple and intuitive, so it should be easy for anyone to figure it out.

In the end, Super Candy Cruncher is just not fun enough to keep you invested in the game for more than a couple of minutes. The schizophrenic difficulty level has the potential to diminish your enthusiasm as well.
