Candy Crush Saga is a game that has truly set a trend in the world of  Android and mobile devices in general. Although it has not been the first of its kind , it has been such a success that all those that have come before and after it are considered little more than copies, more or less inspired.

Candy Crush-like Games for Android

More than 1 billion downloads support Candy Crush, and to give you an idea, they even tried to make a TV series about this franchise a few years ago. If you’ve already collected more candy than you could eat in 10 lifetimes of crazy, sugary debauchery, keep an eye on these 10 great Candy Crush-like Android games that I bring you today.

Bejeweled

The father of Candy Crush. This is the first game to emerge from the puzzle genre , and although Candy Crush came later, it ended up stealing its thunder in a shameless way. The game is developed by Electronic Arts and features a whole series of games: Bejeweled Classic, Bejeweled Blitz and Bejeweled Stars . In this case we will have to exchange jewels, instead of jelly beans.

Puzzle & Dragons

Also known as Pazudora in Japan, this successful Japanese game adds a new dynamic to the equation by combining piece placement with dragon combat . The bigger the combo, the more damage you do to your opponent. To this we must also add the card collecting, which makes this game a rather interesting RPG of sorts.

Cookie Jam

Cookie Jam is another classic matching puzzle game. It was released in 2015 with 1,000 different levels, and as of today, in 2024, it already has 11,000 levels available . It’s absolutely crazy if you like this type of game.

In this case, the Cookie Jam theme goes all out with desserts, with cookies, candies, cakes and other similar elements that we must combine to clear the screen. Relaxing and entertaining.

Harry Potter: Puzzles and Magic

One of the newest games in the “Match 3” genre, developed by Zynga, a well-known company in the world of mobile games, with dozens of titles in its catalogue. This “Puzzle and Magic” is set in the world of Harry Potter, which is always a plus, especially if we are fans of the franchise of the half-blood wizard.

As for the game mechanics, there is not much new, we will have to put together 3 identical elements, and from time to time we will receive help and abilities from some classic characters, with scenes that recall passages from the films. A game highly valued by the community, with more than 10 million downloads behind it.

Farm Heroes Saga and the rest of King’s games

The developer of the original Candy Crush, King , has a number of games in the same vein as its most successful product . They are all the same game with minor variations in graphics and themes, but they are there: Candy Crush Soda Saga, Candy Crush Jelly Saga, Farm Heroes Saga and many more. If you are tired of the original Candy and want to try other alternatives from the same creator, check out any of these games.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile

A match-3 game set in the Pokémon world. The gameplay is very similar to Puzzles & Dragons, where you have to line up several identical Pokémon, which will allow your character to attack the enemy. The first Pokémon to fall is the loser. It’s that simple.

The game hasn’t received any updates for quite some time now, but if you like this franchise and casual games to play quickly and have a good time, this is a free to play title that you should add to your library.

Marvel Puzzle Quest

Marvel superheroes also have their own Candy Crush-style puzzle game. This one replaces the jelly beans with shields with the symbols of Iron Man, Captain America, etc., and adds a little RPG combat mechanic reminiscent of the original Puzzle & Dragons . The game is a few years old, but it is still being updated and has been downloaded more than 10 million times.

Frozen Free Fall

Do you know what happens when you combine one of Disney’s most successful franchises with one of the most popular games of recent years? Exactly. You get a game like Frozen Free Fall, a huge success with more than 50 million downloads on Android. Here in Spain it became very popular after Celia Villalobos, First Vice President of the Congress of Deputies in 2015, was caught red-handed playing Frozen in the middle of the State of the Nation Debate. The game, however, is still valid in 2024, receiving frequent updates.

Juice Cubes

In Juice Cubes the mechanics are a bit different. Instead of having to match 3 pieces of the same type, we will have to make whole lines so that they disappear. It is a very fluid game with nice sounds and effects. One of the most played of its genre, with more than 10 million installations.

Jellipop Match

Jellipop Match Blast is a game that doesn’t bring too many changes to the mechanics of connecting identical pieces next to each other. The typical clone of the classic Candy Crush, but with a somewhat more naive and equally attractive aesthetic . All in all, it is one of the most successful games of the genre, with more than 10 million downloads on Google Play.
