What is Candy Crush Saga?

Candy Crush Saga is a popular match-three puzzle video game released by the developer King on April 12, 2012, for Facebook, and then later for smartphones. It became a massive hit due to its simple yet addictive gameplay where players match colorful candies in combinations of three or more to win points and surpass levels. The game is free-to-play but offers in-app purchases for additional moves or lives, which can help players advance through the various levels with unique objectives and challenges. It features a cartoonish art style with bright, eye-catching graphics and has hundreds of levels that increase in difficulty as the player progresses. The popularity of Candy Crush Saga led to a variety of sequels and spin-off games, propelling it to become one of the highest-grossing mobile games.
