SweetCrush

Sweet Crush is a webbased game which is inspired from candy crush saga, SweetCrush is build on html,css,and java script, where the core gameplay is based on swapping two adjacent candies among several on the gameboard as to make a row or column of at least three matching-colored candies.

We all know the simple candies that we can pop by forming a combination of at least three candies in a horizontal or vertical line. They are colorful candies that are the basic elements of the game which are used to make special candies if brought in a specific combination together. It includes:

Red candy (sausage-shaped).
Blue candy (spherical-shaped).
Green candy (pillow/square shaped).
Yellow candy (tear-drop shaped).
Orange candy (pill-shaped).
Purple candy (hexagon-shaped).

I used to like games where you had to collect three items in a row. But I think that's only good for people who don't want to develop their brains. Of course, games like CandyCrush can be useful for developing the attention span of kids or teenagers. But why would adults want to play such games? I think older people can fold solitaire games or play free jigsaw puzzles. These things are great for developing combinatorics, attention, and your ability to think quickly in a limited amount of time. Try playing games like these. I think you'll find something you like. My mom loves it and opens games like this on her lunch break at the office or home after work.
