Mobile game developer Runsome Apps announced today
that their popular new Android based 2D puzzle game "CandySwipe"
(available in Google's Android Market) is now a social game and playable
between friends.
The already popular Android game has been played close
to 4 million times since its recent release and now includes a new game
changing feature called "Friends Mode". Friends Mode enables players
to create a username that they can share with their friends to track each
others scores within the game. Unlike a typical leaderboard that shows the top
scores for everyone playing the game globally, CandySwipe's new Friends Mode
option allows players to view only the scores of the people they actually care
about.
"Based on the vast amount of positive feedback
following CandySwipe's initial release, we found that most couples, friends,
and family members enjoy sharing their excitement about the game with one
another; therefore, why not utilize their phones existing "always-on"
internet connection to effortlessly share their scores as well," says
CandySwipe developer Albert Ransom.
While Friends Mode is enabled, the players score is
displayed along with the scores of the people they have in their friends list
at the end of each game. So if your BFF has a high score you just cannot beat,
every time you complete a game, you'll have to see their name and score in
first place unless you: beat their score, disable Friends Mode, or remove them
from your friends list. This new social game feature adds a whole new
competitive edge to the game, making it even more addictive than before.
Since CandySwipe's quiet release a few months ago, the
game has been downloaded over 200,000 times and played over 3.5 million times.
Along with those numbers comes a strong 4+ star rating in the Android Market
for both the free and paid variations of the game. CandySwipe is starting to
develop a large following of casual gamers who frequently leave comments in the
Android Market stating things like, "Addicting", "My favorite
game!", "I love it", there is even a comment, "One of my
favs. It's the new Bejeweled :)".
More details on the new feature are available within
the game by clicking the menu key while on the Friends Mode screen, and also on
the CandySwipe game website
About CandySwipe
CandySwipe is a unique 2D puzzle game for Android that
initially has the look of popular "gem-like" games; however, the
concept of the game is to swipe your finger across all like candy pieces that
are adjacent to one another either: left/right, up/down, or even diagonally to
build up score and time. CandySwipe has a "sweet" array of candy
graphics like candy apples, mints, candy hearts, and more. The bigger the
swipe, the more points and time the player gets added to the score board. The
object of the game is to keep the time plentiful enough to continue playing
through the 20 levels. The game is designed to run on a majority of Android
devices and now also has a social game option to compete against friends.
"We wanted to take the casual puzzle game and
transform it into something fun that utilizes the swiping gestures of a touch
screen device. With CandySwipe, the player interacts with the game by swiping
in a fluid motion until as many pieces are matched as possible," says
developer Albert Ransom.
