Tip Candy Puzzle

Gameplay and controls are executed entirely through touch input on a touchscreen interface. The player interacts by tapping and dragging a single candy to an adjacent tile, swapping its position with the candy in that tile. A swap is only valid if it creates a horizontal or vertical line of three or more identical candies. If the swap does not result in a match, the candies automatically return to their original positions. After a successful match, the matched candies are removed, and the board refills from the top. The game automatically detects and executes any subsequent chain matches without additional player input. The player’s remaining moves are displayed as a counter at the top of the screen. The current level’s goal is shown in a panel, often with a progress bar. Special candies are created by matching four or five candies in a specific pattern; these include striped candies (clearing a row or column), wrapped candies (exploding in a 3x3 area), and color bombs (removing all candies of a chosen color). These special candies can be activated by swapping them with an adjacent candy. Boosters, such as a hammer that removes a single candy or a shuffle that rearranges the board, are selected from a menu before a level begins. The game provides a pause button that allows the player to restart the level or quit.
