Candy Manor is a fun game that expertly combines puzzles with match 3 gameplay. On this occasion, you need to help a woman make her way to an old mansion which has fallen into disrepair. However, both the road to reach it and the mansion itself will be full of setbacks that you'll have to get past by solving riddles. To get the energy required to solve each riddle, you'll have to play match 3 games.
The gameplay in Candy Manor is simple. Along the road on the way to the mansion, you'll find all sorts of obstacles; a hole in the road, a tree that's blocking your way, a bunch of chickens running loose, etc. You'll have a list of objectives to complete before you can even reach the house. In order to complete these objectives, you'll need stars which you can collect by solving match 3 puzzles. And of course, the gameplay in these puzzles is one you're almost definitely familiar with: you just have to match up three or more pieces of the same kind to make them disappear. In each level, you'll have to collect a certain number of objects, and to do this you'll have a limited number of moves. The idea is to get as many points as you can using the fewest moves possible.
Once you've solved each match 3 puzzle, you'll have to choose the best way to solve each problem. For example, in the case of a tree blocking the road, you'll have to decide if you want to use a match or a hook to get it out of the way. Depending on the option you choose, you'll be more or less successful in overcoming each situation.
Candy Manor is an entertaining game that adds a new twist to this overly exploited genre, managing to bring you something new and surprising.
