Cute Candy Matching in ‘Candy Fiesta’ Minigame

Candy Fiesta is an adorable match-3 browser game from CulinarySchools.org. Players can enjoy colorful candies in a relaxing, lite puzzle game.

The objective of Candy Fiesta is simple, and the game starts on a small board. Just swap candies to make matches of three or more identical candies, and clear them from the board. The game is untimed and calm.

Matching four or more candies creates special treats, like sprinkled candy bombs or shiny striped candies to can clear larger sections of the board. These are bright and cute, and isn’t is satisfying to see a rolling combo remove loads of candies?

There’s no ticking clock or anxious music, but there is a countdown. In Candy Fiesta, players start with 60 moves, and the game ends when they’re all used up.  This mechanic is good for avoiding that one-more-turn addiction and closing the window to get back to work, but isn’t playing for just one more level or just five more minutes part of the fun? Anyway, once the player runs out of moves, the game is over. There’s no time limit, though, which keeps the game peaceful and gentle. 

There also aren’t any adds in this game, no popups for other games or forced videos to watch in order to keep playing. None of the cute food-themed minigames I played on CulinarySchools.org had popup ads.

The art style is bright and adorable, with cute shiny candies, and a board that grows with successful gameplay. 

The classic match-3 format is solid and popular for a reason, and the cute candies and untimed puzzles make Candy Fiesta a chill and fun relaxing game.
