Candy Sweet Jim is our second take on the match-three puzzle, built for people who want the genre at its most relaxed. Same core idea as any candy puzzle you have played before: swap two sweets, line three up, watch the board cascade.

Where it differs from Candy Jim is pace. The boards here are wider and more forgiving, the move limits are looser, and the difficulty curve climbs gently rather than throwing a wall at you every tenth level. It is the one to pick if you want a puzzle to unwind with rather than one to beat.

Playing well

• Work from the bottom of the board upward so gravity does some of the matching for you.
• Save boosters for boards with awkward corners rather than spending them on the first level that stalls.
• Chained cascades score far more than the same number of separate matches, so a slightly worse move that sets up a chain is often the better one.
• Check the objective before moving; clearing a colour and clearing a position want different opening moves.

What is in it

• A long run of levels with new obstacles introduced gradually.
• Boosters that clear rows, columns and colour groups.
• Daily rewards for coming back, which you can ignore entirely without falling behind.
• Full offline play, with no connection required at any point.

It is a quiet game. There is no timer shouting at you and no lives system designed to make you wait, just a board and however long you feel like giving it.
