There have been many great apps on the app store in its time, but one of these apps completely blew up with success after its November 2012 release. Candy Crush Saga had already garnered a bit of attention through Facebook where it had been released a few months prior to its mobile debut, but the numbers only kept growing. The game quickly took over the world with its exponential popularity and remained one of the top grossing apps on the app store, even now; it is currently sat at number four, which is only proof that it continues to be just as popular as it was when it first released. The app store even considers the game to be one of any iDevice’s essential apps.
Now two years after the initial release and success of Candy Crush Saga, with many other successful games in between, King has released Candy Crush: Soda Saga, a brand new installment to the Candy Crush story. The gameplay isn’t much different compared to the original, but it still manages to offer a bunch of new things.
You start the game with levels that require you to pop soda bottles by matching them with other candies of the same color, the soda level rises after each bottle is popped; the aim is to get the soda to rise to the very top of the level. After you’ve completed a few of these level types, other types are introduced such as the find the gummy bear levels where you have to remove the frosted candies to reveal where the gummy bears are hiding.
You can also make special candies which can be formed through the specific matching of certain numbers of the same color. Creating a match of a two by two square of the same color will make a Swedish fish, when if matched with other candies of the same color, will swim off randomly and eat a random block that ends up helping you out with completing the objective for the level.
Candy Crush: Soda Saga is currently running version 1.32.11 and requires your device to be running at least iOS version 5.0 or later. The game is currently available to play in multiple different languages. It can be download from the app store for free with the option to purchase extra in app premium currency. The game currently holds a four and a half star rating on the app store with the majority of reviewers giving positive feedback about the game.
The game also has Facebook integration so you’re able to access your saved progress across multiple devices regardless of the OS type, as long as you are logged into Facebook.
In Candy Crush Soda Saga, the premium currency that is used is gold bars which can be purchased in five different package options which contain 10 to 510 gold bars which cost between ninety nine cents and $39.99. Gold bars can be used to purchase extra lives, in level power ups such as the lollipop hammer and various others. You can also by extra moves with your gold if you run out of them without completing the level.
Candy Crush Soda is just as addicting as the original Candy Crush Saga game. Players will spend hours of time and hundreds of dollars just trying to unlock the next level.

For those who are determined to play through the game legitimately I have a whole bunch of tips to help you out. Candy Crush Soda Saga, like its predecessor, requires you to strategize with skill if you hope to do well.
My first rule when it comes to Candy Crush games; when in doubt, go for the multicolored candy. If you have the chance to create two multicolored candies in a row, do it, it is so worth it, swapping two multicolored candies will remove all of the candies off your board which makes hitting your goal a lot easier and you can be sure you’ll get there quicker too as you end up getting a lot of bonus points from this.
Don’t just settle for a match of three because there is most likely a way to create a power up candy which will give you more points and get rid of more candies in the long run.
Matching two power ups is a great way to make points and clear your board, for example, switching a Swedish fish powered up candy with a stripy candy will make the fish swim to a random block, eat it then the effects of the stripy candy happen and an entire row is wiped out.
If you can manage to have seven candies matched by some crazy coincidence, you’ll produce a coloring candy, which is pretty similar to what the multicolored chocolate candy does except on a much bigger scale. From experience, the majority of the creations of theses candies are absolute accidents. But like I said, it’s all about strategy, so if you have a ton of spare gold, use your lollipop hammers to create yourself am accident.
Pay attention to the match suggestion feature if you find yourself struggling. Luckily the feature has been improved a whole lot since the original Candy Crush Game. It will now suggest matches that will create a power up candy. So if you’re low on moves and you haven’t quite hit you first points barrier, these are great pointers to follow in order to get you your last few points and complete the level.
When playing the game, try to learn to familiarize yourself with all of the different level types so you can figure out a different strategy for each type so you aren’t just plunging into the level without any idea of what you’re going to do.
You’ll start off the game with the soda levels, in these levels, you are required to pop a certain number of soda bottles, each bottle popped will make the soda level in the middle of your board rise, after you have gotten all of the required bottles and your soda level has reach its designated point, the round will be over.
In the frosted levels, you need to destroy candies which lay on frosted tiles, underneath these frosted tiles, there may or may not be a gummy bear, the aim of these levels is to locate the gummy bears and remove all of the frosted tiles that still cover part of the gummy bears body. Uncover all of the gummy bears within the level and you’re good to move on to the next level. The next level type is the bubble levels. In these levels, you’ll find a candy necklace draped across the level, much like the soda levels you have to raise the soda level on the board so that the small gummy bear floating in the soda rises above the candy necklace. The next level type, and probably the most difficult in my opinion, is the chocolate levels. In these levels, your objective is to remove all of the chocolate from the board. What make these levels difficult is that fact that if you’re unable to remove any chocolate squares in any one of your moves, a brand new chocolate square will spawn at random on your board. With these levels, you need to try and find a way to remove at least one chocolate square in each move you make, otherwise, it makes your moves pointless because the chocolate you’ve already gotten rid of will just keep coming back.
The next level type is the honey levels. These levels are full of honey blocks which contain gummy bears, remove these honey blocks in order to free the gummy bears, this level is similar to the objectives of the frosted levels, so practice with both and you’ll develop a good strategy for both level type. The newest level type is the bubblegum levels, again, definitely one of the harder level types. In these levels, you have to chew all of the bubblegum on the board, just like in the chocolate levels, you must get rid of at least one bubblegum block in each of your moves or a new piece of bubblegum will spawn on your board. Any strategies you’ve developed for the chocolate levels can also be applied in the bubblegum levels.
There are multiple areas in the game which you must travel through, each little area telling a small part of the story. So far there are thirteen different areas to travel through, but knowing King, they will no doubt add many more new areas in future updates. Levels one to five happen in Candy Town, these levels are all soda levels so they are easy enough to get through, the easiest level being level one and the hardest being level five. Levels six to fifteen occur in Lollipop Meadow (watch out for level eight and thirteen!) in these levels, five of them are frosting levels and five of them are bubble levels, the easiest level in this area is level six and the hardest level is level eight.
Levels sixteen to thirty occur in Soda Springs (beware of level twenty one; it WILL make you want to smash your device.) this area has two soda levels, seven frosted levels and six bubble levels. The easiest level in this area is level seventeen and the hardest level is level twenty one. Levels thirty one to forty five occur in Shortcake Shores, in this area there are one soda level, five frosted levels, three bubble levels and six chocolate levels. Levels forty six to sixty occur in Sugar cube Cave. In this area there are two soda levels, five frosted levels, five bubble levels and three chocolate levels. Levels sixty one to seventy five occur in Choco Canyon. In this area there are one soda level, five frosted levels, four bubble levels and five chocolate levels. Levels seventy six to ninety occur in Honey Garden. In this area there are three frosted levels, two bubble levels, two chocolate levels and eight honey levels.
Levels ninety one to one hundred and five occur in Cupcake Cottage. In this area there are one soda level, four frosted levels, three bubble levels, two chocolate levels and five honey levels. Levels one hundred and six to one hundred and twenty occur in Soda Coast. In this area there are one soda level, four frosted levels, three bubble levels, two chocolate levels and five honey levels. Levels one hundred and twenty one occur in Candy cane Isle. in this area there are two soda levels, two frosted levels, three bubble levels, six chocolate levels and two honey levels. Levels one hundred and thirty six to one hundred and fifty occur in Frosting Forest. This area has four soda levels, three frosted levels, two bubble levels, two chocolate levels and four honey levels.
Levels one hundred and fifty one to one hundred and sixty five occur in Licorice Pastures. This area has five soda levels, three frosted levels, four bubble levels and three honey levels. Levels one hundred and and sixty six to one hundred and eighty occur in Sugar Shell Cove. This area has one soda level, two frosted levels, two bubble levels, two honey levels and the newest level type – eight bubblegum levels.
If you get to one of those levels that are really hard and seem absolutely impossible, don’t worry that you’ll never be able to complete it, if you play the level enough, you’ll develop a strategy that works for you (believe me, I remember playing one level for three straight weeks without being able to beat it.)
When first playing this game, I found it pretty difficult to distinguish the differences between Soda Saga and the original Candy Crush, the game play was the same, the power ups were the same, even most of the candy type were the same, but as I began to get deeper into the game, I realized that this really was an entirely brand new game with brand new features and a brand new story.
A great thing about all King games in general is the fact that you occasionally feel like actually buying things makes the game less fun, like you’re cheating yourself somehow. While you know you can always fall back onto the candy hammer should the need arise, there is something exciting about the limited number of moves you have in each level that completely takes the temptation away.
The entire game is beautifully created, it is full of bright, eye catching colors that make your overall experience incredibly fun. The game itself constantly encourages you when you are doing well and you will occasionally hear words of encouragement in the middle of levels when you’ve just managed to pull off an awesome move.
Artwork: I give Candy Crush Soda Saga a 10/10 for its artwork. I absolutely love the artwork in this game; it is full of bright colors and really well created characters.
Music and SFX: I give the game a 10/10 for its music and sound effects. Because of the insane popularity of the initial game, King went all out on the music for this game, they even went as far as to hire the London Symphony Orchestra to make the soundtrack which was obviously amazing and beautifully well done. The sound effects in the game are also well done and placed at perfect moment, the word of encouragement that are randomly spoken in the middle of a level are the perfect push to get you playing even more and feeling good about you are doing.
Story and Originality: I give the game a 9/10 for it story and originality. It’s strange that you can get an in depth story out of a match three game, but somehow Soda Saga manages to do it, and does it really well. Whilst a lot of what is on offer comes directly from the first game, a whole lot of new features have been added which really makes Soda Saga stand out and feel different compared to the first game.
General Gameplay: I give the game a 9/10 for its general gameplay. The game play is very easy to figure out, but in a way that it doesn’t get boring because it is constantly changing from level to level. It’s great that there are so many different level types and objective types as it keeps the game interesting and makes players want to carry on playing until they’ve completed all of the levels.
Addictiveness: I give the game a 10/10 for its addictiveness. Because of how the game constantly switches things up, it really doesn’t get boring so you find yourself wanting to just keep on playing and playing until there’s nothing left to play. You have five lives which means that you have five chances to complete a level if you know it’s a level you’re stuck on, that just instills a determination to beat the level.
Overall I rate Candy Crush: Soda Saga 9/10.
