About Candy Rain 8
Candy Rain 8 is the eighth game in a match-3 series that players keep asking for more of. The idea has not changed because it does not need to: swap neighboring sweets to line up three or more of the same kind and clear them.
This instalment is the biggest so far. There are more levels, more kinds of candy and extra things to collect, including waffles and treasure chests full of coins. Your progress is charted on a saga map that winds from level to level, so there is always a clear next step.
Powerful boosters and rewarding combos do the heavy lifting on harder boards. Every level has a high score to beat, which gives you a reason to replay the ones you only scraped through, and the game is free to play.
How to play Candy Rain 8
- Swap two neighboring candies to make a row or column of three or more.
- Match to catch candies and waffles, as well as chests full of coins.
- Create combos to boost your score.
- Use powerful boosters when a level gets tough.
- Beat the high score and follow the saga map to the next stage.
Tips and tricks
- Check the level's objective first. Catching waffles needs different moves from chasing score.
- Look over the whole board before each move. The first match you see is not always the one that leads to a combo.
- Think about combos rather than single matches. The game rewards combos, and they are the surest way to beat a level's high score.
- Hold on to boosters until a level has stopped you at least once.
