Feeding animals candy is not recommended. However, this is exactly what you have to do with CandyMeleon, this very addictive endless arcade game from BullyPix. Help feed your cute and cuddly chameleon while avoiding the various obstacles in the way. Controls are easy and fun, but many enemies are afoot and aim to stop feeding time at all costs.
Gameplay
CandyMeleon is a game where players must guide the character towards eating the candies flying through the air and collecting coins. While this is happening, players must also avoid obstacles such as flying piranhas, falling rocks, poison candy, and many more. Some powerups may also appear from time to time which may help players last a little bit longer in the game. Players can also spend their coins in order to further improve on their character and be able to get even more coins.
Currency
Coins and gems are the currencies present within the game. Coins can be earned during regular play, and can be used to purchase items at the store such as upgrades, new chameleons, and new backgrounds. Gems, on the other hand, are used to unlock items early as well as purchase premium items such as special chameleons, additional hearts, and other great perks.
Gems and coins can both be earned as bonuses as well as when players level up. There are also rewards for completing special offers and connecting the game via social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Gems, however, are of course more scarce, so the best option is to buy them using real life currency, although you can still get the most out of the game without making any in-app purchases for more coins or gems.
Hearts
Hearts allow you to play the game. Each time you play, a heart will be consumed, but this resource replenishes over time, so you do not have to worry. There is an in-app purchase, nevertheless, that will allow you to play with no limitations, so you do not have to check up on how many hearts you still have any more.
Controls
Controls for CandyMeleon are pretty simple. The player can slide left to right and vice versa, and tapping on the screen will cause your character to pop its tongue out. You can use your tongue to catch candies and powerups mid flight, or you can wait for them until they’re about to land, to which you will then catch them with your mouth. Both methods are acceptable for consuming candies and other items.
Left and right controls can be configured in one of two ways. One uses titling, while the other uses a virtual control on the screen. Your desired method of control can be switched at the Settings section.
Game Modes
There are two game modes in CandyMeleon. Both Tournament Mode and Time Attack Mode requires you to score as much as possible, although Time Attack will penalize you for missing out on candies. Time Attack Mode will be unlocked later in the game once you have reached a certain level.
Scoring Coins
There are lots of ways by which you can get more coins within the game, which would allow you to purchase more items that will make gameplay more enjoyable. First and foremost, spend coins on upgrades whenever they are available. Items such as double coins as well as making more powerups appear are very important so that you will be able to get the most out of each heart that you use.
Positioning is also very important. Typically, placing yourself at the center of the screen will put you in the best position to grab candies as well as avoid poisons and other obstacles. This will also give you ample time to decide as to whether you would like to use your tongue or catch it with your mouth.
Lastly, try to make as any combos as you can by not missing on any candies, as missing candies will deduct on your score. Getting double, triple, or even super meals will also provide you with coin bonuses. You can do this by getting candies at the same time. A neat trick, although this would require a bit of skill, is to keep moving while your tongue is out. This will allow you to get more candies mid flight. Practice your timing and movements, as this will be a great strategy for you to be able to get more coins faster.
Of course, keep in mind that there are still many obstacles, so keep an eye out for these while you are trying to nab at those candies and powerups.
