Objective

The aim of Candy Cruncher is to make whole lines of the same type of candies - either vertically or horizontally!

You have a minimum number of lines to crunch on each level - and after every few levels, another candy is added to the box, making it harder and harder to get lines!

How To Play

1. Slide the candies around within the box by tapping on them.
2. If there is a nearby space, the candy you tap on will move into it, allowing you to shuffle them all around.
3. As soon as you get a complete line... CRUNCH! they get eaten!
