How to Play Bubble Candy Arena: Moves, Goals and Your First Levels
Every level shows its goal before you start. Here is how to read it, how to move sweets, what the bar at the top means, and how the 100 levels are laid out.
Bubble Candy Arena is a match-3 puzzle game you can play in your browser on a phone or computer. There are 100 levels on a winding candy road, and each one asks you to do something specific in a limited number of moves.
Read the goal first
When you tap a level on the map, a card shows its name, its goal and how many moves you have. Level 1, “Sweet start”, asks for 14,800 points in 20 moves.
There are three kinds of goal: reach a score, collect a number of one kind of sweet, or break all the sugar glass under the sweets. Some later levels combine two. Press Play when you are ready.
How to move a sweet
Swipe a sweet towards its neighbour — up, down, left or right — or tap one sweet and then the one next to it. If the swap makes a line of three or more of the same kind, they pop and everything above falls down. If it does not, the sweets slide back and you do not lose a move.
The big number at the top is your moves left. The bar on the right fills with your score and shows the three star marks.
Stars and progress
- One star for finishing the goal
- Two and three stars for higher scores — moves you have left at the end turn into bonus points
- Finishing a level opens the next one on the map
- Your best score and stars are saved; with a free account they follow you to any device
The buttons in the corner
The round buttons at the bottom right are boosters: a paint brush that smashes one sweet, a free swap of any two sweets, a shuffle of the whole board and +5 extra moves. They cost SC, so save them for levels you have tried a few times.
You have up to five lives. Losing a level uses one, one comes back every thirty minutes, and winning gives back the life you used.
