Candy Crush Jelly Saga is a sequel to the highly popular Candy Crush Saga that helped launch the mobile games industry to where it is today. The original game provided puzzles that players could solve by moving differently colored candies around a board to form groups of at least three of the same color, and this version utilizes that same basic style of play.

The game hasn't been changed that much from the original, but the aesthetics are a bit more polished. Instead of moving around candies, the player is moving around different jellies, as if to imply that jelly and candy are somehow members of the same food group. This game does include some new elements as well, and it also has multiple power-ups that can be either purchased with real-world currency or unlocked through grinding. These powers will help make the levels a bit simpler to solve, so they can be quite useful.

What makes Candy Crush Jelly Saga stand out is that it includes many more competitive elements than the previous version, and those include enemies that crop up and must be defeated in each level. The Jelly Queen is one such enemy hiding in the game, and the player must defeat her in a turn-based fight to advance. Some of the battles include a fight to clear vast swathes of the board at once, and others involve finding hidden treasures before the enemy.

Another of the elements specific to this game is the appearance of random jelly pots throughout the levels. The player can use the touchscreen controls to swipe the jelly across the board as if they were buttering a piece of toast. This creates an instant win and helps boost the player to new levels even faster.

There are several new power-ups in this version as well, including the Lollipop Boosters that provide extra bonuses when they are connected. While those are just one of the new power-ups, there are others to increase the playability and engagement of this title even more.

The graphics in this game are significantly improved from the past titles in this series. Of course, the actual appearance of the game is quite similar since it uses much of the same gameplay as past games, but the animations are smoother and the characters are more lifelike. Like other games in the Candy Crush series, there are bright colors and cartoonish figures everywhere.

Anyone who enjoyed the original Candy Crush or any of the other games in the series will love this new version with improved graphics and a greater depth of gameplay. It might be a bit boring to those who have no interest in this classic puzzle style, but everyone who gets a kick out of new and improved classics will love the detail and the entertainment value in this title.
