Candy Blast Mania Wiki

Been playing for a few years- I spend no $$ and still have a great time. I am at level 650ish and the best is to do the challenges at the side- earns you tons of extras which can help you beat that level you just can’t get past. Sometimes I think the side challenges are better than the levels. I do hate how some challenges reset to the very beginning of the challenge but you can get extra time often and it is challenging without wanting to quit. My only suggestion would be to allow players to pause bonus time. Sometimes I have only 5 minutes to play and I get a bonus hour and it will get wasted!

I love this game!! Been playing it forever! I love the fact that I can use the help items at the bottom of the screen whenever I am close to winning and need them so i don’t waste them. And I love that I can always get extra and get tickets - makes it even more fun. Plus I feel like the levels r winnable even if it takes a week or so. I quit a game a long time ago cuz I couldn’t ever beat a level and it became frustrating and boring. But now u give those help items that I have to use blind!! I can only use them in the beginning if the game and I don’t know if I need it in the beginning so they very seldom help. And I don’t get as many of the ones I like now. Skip those and go back to just giving them to old way!

I’ve been playing for a few years. The challenge of some of the levels is frustrating but it just makes beating that level so much better. In the past six months I had a few issues with the game. I contacted the support team and they took care of my problems. Very happy. (The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because of the problems and since they happened on the weekend I had to wait until business hours for the team to respond).

This was my favorite game for a long, long time. But it keeps changing in ways I do not like. The main things I don’t like are the prizes/rewards have changed. I don’t like the help tools you select prior to starting a game. You can only choose one of each of 3 types and they have to be used immediately at the start and most of the time are not useful. These are the primary rewards now as you gain more taffy tickets. Not worth it for me to keep playing just to win these. I like the rewards that can be used at my discretion during a game and as many of each one as I choose to help me beat a level. I am quite sure the games are controlled by the coders. It is not so much skill as luck of the draw in how a game is coded. I enjoy the challenge but get bored if I have to keep playing the same game over and over. I will eventually use the tools/helps inside the game if I cannot beat it in my own, just to move on to the next level. Needless to say I am playing it less and less.

I’ve been playing this game for a very long time, I’ve reached level 3350. I like many of the newer features and side games, but you are showing way too many adds. I know when you watch the ads you’re compensated with coins, tickets and extra moves. You also have a choice if you want to watch the adds or skip them. I feel you almost have to watch the ads if you want to get coins and tickets to play. Over the past year many of the levels have gotten extremely difficult. They used to be challenging, now they’re just plain hard, this gets very boring. Even though I watch the ads I find myself spending more and more to buy coins to get through harder levels! The price of coins and extra time have gone up significantly. Please lower prices and make games a little easier. If not, I fear you will lose a long time player.

Used to be one of my favorite go to games, for several reasons, but mostly it was the game that kept my focus off the unexpected passing of my mom. I still enjoy the game, but the load time of the video’s to earn gems/spins just takes way too long, and the crashes and flashes of the game is disruptive and annoying. Not too mention, downloading an app shouldn’t stop the game from playing when its mid-round. It’s a fun puzzle, tetris-like game, great way to keep one’s mind sharp, but the video’s are redundant and repetitive, or they don’t play at all and have to be re-watched, the time it takes for the video’s to load are ridiculously long, and most of the time I have a full battery. Video’s should load quickly when connected to WiFi, but the ones for this game don’t, and the pop-up messages that say a connection was lost and to reconnect to play are false too. Being that I wasn’t connected to WiFi at the time of the pop up message Sadly, the game’s slowness has caused it to become a frustration, rather than helping. Wish I could rate it higher, but with the recent tech difficulties, its just not possible.

This used to be one of my favorite games. I rarely play it anymore now bc of the changes over the last few years and the utter lack of rhyme or reason to the levels now. After no less than 6 pop up windows after opening the game- some of which are ads- the levels are interrupted by more ad videos . On top of that, the levels are engineered so that you have to use power ups to win them otherwise you will be stuck on a level for weeks or months. The little goblin thingys sometimes required to kill to beat a level wont be available to actually kill so that even though all other goals are met, you cant win it even if you had a power up to use. Its old and annoying at this point. Bye bye

I fell in love with game when I first started playing the game. The unique thing about the game was even when you lost you felt like a winner because of the tickets. But it has been increasingly tough to win tickets and now it is even tougher because you now have cut down the amount of videos to watch to supplement the tickets. Very disappointed with all the changes you've made - also videos seem to be harder to download the closer it gets to the end of the game time. Well I'm editing my review. I didn't think the game could get worse but alas it did. I guess your game is so unpopular, you lost all your sponsorships for the videos because suddenly they are gone. You would think if you were going to take away those bonus tickets you would lower the amount it took to win prizes / but just like your game - you didn't think that through. You know even though it took me THREE weeks to get past the last level - I could at least take pleasure in trying to achieve the different ticket levels. REALLY DISAPPOINTED

Just don’t pick this one. It used to be fun but they changed it and have made the puzzles so complex with not nearly enough moves to clear the board. Most games of this type want you to buy stuff to help you win but I’ve never seen a game do it so aggressively. Like I said they’ve made the puzzles so complex with few moves to clear because they want you to buy extra moves and items. It comes to a point where you will have to buy items and moves or never win again. At least in other match 3 game apps I’ve played each puzzle is eventually winnable and the need for “extra stuff” is rarely needed. Even the hardest puzzles in Candy Crush are eventually winnable without extras. This company must be desperate for money right now because this game is just one giant cash grab and it’s lost all its element of fun. I highly recommend Toy Blast! It’s addicting like this one but waaaay more fun. Very challenging but unlike Candy Mania, the puzzles are winnable with good strategy and a little luck.

Programming a pop up to appear the second your last move has been made so you are put in a position of hitting a button for five additional moves at the cost of 44 gems when we would not have done so otherwise is shady and call it what you want but theft is theft. I contacted them about it and they said they had no record of my as a user at all and therefore would do nothing about it. I’m a graphics designer and design for several app based companies and I’m well versed in apple policies for what is required of apps regarding customers and there is no way you can have users that you have no record of. I deleted the app now and it’s your loss cause I spent an average of about 60$ bucks each month buying various features in your app that I DID want and not cause you decided you wouldn’t address the issue of 2$ being taken without my consent you have lost that customer entirely. Not smart at all but whatever. Hope u figure that out soon

Storm 8 doesn’t care. They’ve moved on so don’t expect updates, bug fixes, etc. They’re long past this game. If you are willing to play this OLD game, then do so knowing they are profiting at your expense of watching their videos. It’s about $$$, not your enjoyment of this game. They now don’t give you the ‘option’ to watch their videos (which they are getting paid for you to watch), they just throw them in after your game starts and if you choose to not watch, you get dinged a game. You wanna get tickets by watching a video, 🤷‍♀️maybe you get, often not. But they get their $$$ because you spent your time watching their video. If you are willing to help them make lots of money, play play and watch all their videos. If not, then show it by rating them on their app. I’d give them 0 stars if possible.

The only reason that I mark this game down is for the constant failure of the video to load or there has been an error to load the video. What is the deal with that? I love the game, but that is an issue. The other issue is that the free time starts before I can clear the board to be able to start, why can't the time start when the player is ready and can even be delayed for a later time? I have since had another issue come up where the hour of free time just went away. I tried to send in a question about this and was told my inquiry was closed because I didn't fill in all of the information. I really think that they make the form so difficult so you will give up and just go on. I went one better, I took the game off of screen. To bad, I enjoyed the game but I can't handle poor customer service

Horrible. Find any other game but this. 'Game' loads slowly or not at all; game has been frozen for days so without play your game level bottoms out; game play slows at end to force 'choosing' a 44 gem purchase that you don't intend to make; other in-game helps don't do what's shown; ads for earning gems are never monitored-they often don't work or completely shut the game down. Developers make poor changes that increase offers to download more crap, or offer bonuses that don't work but you've watched most of an ad for no gain; they now want you to think you're earning a help by subscribing to stuff that has nothing to do with this game; but none of this stuff works. It is all about GREED for the developers. I've never spent $ on this or buy anything from any of their ads or links & at level 1650+ will be deleting it. BE ASHAMED, STORM8.

This was one of my favorite games of this type. So much better than Candy Crush. However the developers have decided ads and pop ups are more important than the game they created that so many of us love. Many people have commented about the ads and pop up frequencies and a year later the problem still exists. In order to play I have to see 5 pop ups and then to either get extra turns, prizes, whatever I have to watch an ad. Sometimes the ad just starts up in the middle of the game. It’s just too much - more time is spent on that than playing the game it seems. If the ad/pop up issue was fixed (meaning reduced) this review would change to 5 stars but at this point sadly I have to honestly rate it as a 1 and find something else to enjoy.
