Bubblegum Pop, Gummy Dragons and soda boards
The core loop is matching candies to clear a board, with goals that change from level to level. Bubblegum Pop and Gummy Dragons are separate modes, and soda-filled boards, cookie blockers and sticky jelly levels are obstacles that change how a board plays.
Boosters are available to blast blockers on harder boards. The game has thousands of levels.
Going online adds events, rewards and games with friends. Daily rewards and special events are also included, along with extra challenges that involve competing against other players.
