The greatest feature of Candy Blast Mania is that you can play this game in offline mode, meaning you do not need an internet connection to play it.
After the huge success King Company had with their game, Candy Crush, many similar and big mobile app game companies also opted for the same route. They all individually made a similar game to Candy Crush. All of them featuring cute and attractive items to swap, a grid shaped game, as well as going on an epic journey. In Candy Blast Mania, you can successfully swap the candies with patterns of L, T, or pluses. You can also make candy combinations of 3 or more horizontally and vertically, but not diagonally. You can also purchase the premium currency for Candy Blast Mania, which are gems. They can be used to buy additional energy (lives), extra moves, as well as power ups. They can be earned via opening treasure chests and also clearing certain stages. If you have a Facebook account, you can also connect your account to Candy Blast Mania and they will give you gems! An important note is that if you do decide to spend money in this game, the more you spend the better deal you will receive.
In order to advance and play the candy levels in Candy Blast Mania, you will need 1 energy per level to play it. If you win the level, no energy would be used, however, if you lose, that energy will be gone. Energy regenerates at a rate of one at one hour, so players can wait patiently for the energy to replenish, or use real life money to fill the energy bars instantly. Furthermore, the amount of stars you get defines how good of a player you are in a particular stage. When you complete the basic requirements, you will earn one star, when you score much higher, you will reach 2 or 3 stars. Players can repeat the stages as many times as they want, whether they already completed this stage or they failed to complete it.
All players should aim to collect all stars! It is also advised that players complete the special missions that Candy Blast Mania gives. This is because when you complete them, the game will give you several keys that when you collect up to five, it will open up a treasure chest and will provide the player with big rewards such as free gems, in game bonuses, as well as more! Several power ups available in Candy Blast Mania includes the Candy Wand, Sugar Blast, and the Candy Scoop. The Candy Wand can eliminate a single candy from the grid, while the Sugar Blast can destroy an entire row in the candy grid, and the Candy Scoop can collect all the candies of one color. All these power ups are free, and they can be used repeatedly after a cool down. These are two types of power ups: free power ups and non-free power ups. Non-free power ups requires you to buy them from the shop for money.
Candy Blast Mania also changes their game up several times a year. Whenever there is a big holiday such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc, they would give a special event where you can do. The game interfaces also changes during those time, so they have special graphics as well as music. This is a nice change to Candy Blast Mania, as one will get bored of the same artwork and music when playing it constantly. Although there is great changes during the holidays, Candy Blast Mania lacks originality in the stages and levels of the game. When a player plays this game more than a few times, they will soon see the pattern of what the game will ask you to complete next.
Overall, Candy Blast Mania is a worthwhile game that you should check out if you get bored of other candy puzzle matching games. It features a distinctive boss battle where it is fun and interactive, yet also challenging and different from other puzzle games.
Candy Blast Mania is one of the most addicting match-3 puzzle games out there, and if you are playing this game, you know how essential gems are to get boosters and other much needed items for the game. This is also a game where you need a lot of moves sometimes to beat the levels, but the moves and gems both cost money in the App Store, which most people don’t like spending their real money on.

In Candy Blast Mania, there are several tips that will help you advance through this game. The first tip is that you should always know your power ups and boosters. If you know your power ups and boosters, then you will know exactly when to use it and exactly where. One should not use these randomly because these power up items and boosters are scarce and also if you use them all up, you will need to buy them using real cash (it isn’t mandatory to though!). Since Candy Blast Mania recharges these power ups several times during a day, you have to take advantage of these chances and use them wisely.
Secondly, during gameplay, you should make priority of your game objectives. Such as when the evil Gummy Bear King will throw obstacles at you, you have to take out his health, and the game objectives is the thing that will let you pass the level if you clear them. So firstly, clear the game objectives, secondly defeat or lower the evil Gummy Bear King’s health points, then focus on getting more points to collect stars! Lastly, if you are in dire need of gems, if you decide to connect Candy Blast Mania to your Facebook account, you will receive 40 free gems.
Puzzle games are high in demand these days in the mobile game department. One reason is due to the success of Candy Crush, by King. Candy Crush was a highly successful game that gained popularity due to its simple yet smart storylines, colorful and delightful candy designs, the bright and cheerful graphics, as well as the addicting music.
Several reviews that I’ve researched on both the Google Play platform and the iTunes, players stated that Candy Blast Mania was a rip off or copy of Candy Crush. However, although there are many similarities, one can say that Candy Blast Mania is its own individual game. It is hard to overcome and bypass many of the similar puzzle game features. Almost every puzzle games would contain a grid like game, some sort of items to be swapped or connected, a story line containing adventure, and lastly tons of in games power ups and bonuses. It is very hard to create a new puzzle game, where it has new features unlike those, without knowing whether or not it will be successful.
I would like to say that Candy Blast Mania is not a rip off or copy of the game, Candy Crush, by King’s Company. But instead, Candy Crush can be said to be the ancestor of many new addicting puzzle games. Almost every other puzzle games in the mobile market today, are aspiring to have the success that Candy Crush received. From Candy Crush’s statistics, it can be said that delivering a game with candy, a journey of an adventure, along with decent graphics and music, will be one successful game. But all the rest depends on the game itself.
Candy Blast Mania features several distinctive gameplay in its game. Firstly, its boss battle is fun and challenging, and lastly, the ability to recharge power ups and bonus items is a definite plus for users. Unlike its ancestor, Candy Crush, or any other puzzle games, many puzzle games do not feature a boss battle that is interactive. This means that the boss is able to move around and make things harder for the level. The boss battles in Candy Blast Mania is very fun and challenging. You would generally need to redo this level at least 3 times before succeeding, also it allows a spinoff of the game that players would look forward to playing. The rechargeable power ups and bonus items is a plus for players. Many times, game developers would offer free trials of the power ups and bonus items to lure players to purchase them. But once the players use up all their trials, then they are left with nothing. Candy Blast Mania is smart to allow a rechargeable power ups and bonus items because this can allow more users to play this game. Oftentimes, people stop playing the game once it gets too hard and they refuse to purchase in game items. But in Candy Blast Mania, this door opens for these users, and they can continue to play this great game. Furthermore, allowing free rechargeable power ups and bonus items as well as non-free power ups, intrigues players to check out the premium items. They will be tempted to try out these power up items and bonus items that they can’t receive free in this game.
Artwork: 7/10 for Candy Blast Mania artwork. While Candy Blast Mania graphics are distinctive and colorful, I do think it resembles a bit too much to Candy Crush. The game characters, the boss challenges, as well as the different stages in this game, can be comparable to Candy Crush. I think that if they changed the theme of this game to something else and kept their game features, such as rechargeable power ups, then Candy Blast Mania will have more success. The artwork is decent but not good enough to surpass many other puzzle games, for this, Candy Blast Mania receives a 7/10 for its artwork.
Music & SFX: 6/10 for Candy Blast Mania music and SFX. I give Candy Blast Mania such a low rating for this category because the background music is very monotone and the SFX lacks special effects. Although the music and SFX sounds decent when you first play it, the background music starts to get annoying after several gameplays. You can turn this off in the settings area. Secondly, the SFX of Candy Blast Mania doesn’t create enough excitement. Such as when you beat the boss or clear the level, the sounds doesn’t encourage one to keep continuing.
Story & Originality: This is the deal breaker round, half of Candy Blast Mania audience says that it is a rip off of Candy Crush, while the other half of their fans believe this is a different game. I think that the originality rating would depend on you, the player yourself. Do you think this game resembles Candy Crush a bit too much? Or is it just fine for you. I personally believe Candy Blast Mania is an individual game of its own and that it does have some parts of its own originality, such as the interactive boss battles at the end of each episode. Story wise, I rate it a 6/10 because I found it lacking a lot of general game story elements.
General Gameplay: 7/10 for Candy Blast Mania general gameplay. The general gameplay of Candy Blast Mania wasn’t super satisfying or depressing. I think this is a great time killer game and you should give it a chance if you are bored from other games. The general gameplay was smooth, with no lags. With this said, I think that it is a decent game due to its lack of bugs, fast problem solving (bug fixes), as well as it’s humor throughout the game.
Addictiveness: 8/10 for addictiveness factor. I think that Candy Blast Mania is quite addicting at first, but like many other games, it does grow out of you for a while. Candy Blast Mania does successfully keeps its audience by giving rechargeable game bonuses so people can use them to have an easier game. However, a con of Candy Blast Mania is that it lacks variety for this game. Almost all the levels are the same, with similar objectives such as collecting a certain amount of colored candy.
The overall rating for Candy Blast Mania is a 7/10. I think that people should give Candy Blast Mania a chance before saying that it is a rip off of Candy Crush, while there are a lot of similarities, I can only say that Candy Blast Mania has a lot of fun elements to it as well.
