What real reviews say
★ Candy Royal forced to play You guys need to stop forcing players to participate if they are stuck in a level, previous we were able to skip it when opening the app until we pass that tough level but now this update it takes a while to start and we are forced to do them and if we fail it demotes us STOP FORCING PLAYERS TO PAR
★★★★★ Good The funniest game I’ve ever played
★★★★★ 2nd Fave Match 3 Game… Love it. Classic match 3 but doesn’t get boring (well haha, side note on that; a “Tap to skip” animation of board playing out completely at the end of levels, especially when there are many moves left, would likely move it to top fave. Of Mexico, Eastern Mexico, possibilities Arizona.
