The point of this game is to get you to spend money – Candy Crush Saga Review

It’s a fun and well made matching game, and I remember back in the day blasting through levels for hours, but the number of micro transactions and ads in this game is nauseating. Many of the levels in the middle of the “race” events are near-impassable unless you buy or have won power ups (can be done, just takes a lot of time and luck), and many of the hard levels force you to use any power ups you’ve elected to start with as soon as the puzzle starts, wasting them.
