Five perfect matches
So, Candy Crush Friends Saga is currently sat on top of the US and UK App Store free game charts, chuckling imperiously at the whelps far below it.
King's colourful sweet-swapper has certainly hit the spot. In terms of quality, we found it to be pretty good fun, if a little on the predictable side.
This is pretty much Candy Crush 2.0, with more impressive graphics and a greater emphasis on personalisation.
What we're trying to say is that you can't really go wrong with Candy Crush Friends Saga. But can you go better? We think that you can.
Once you find yourself itching for something similar but new, check out these Candy Crush Friends Saga alternatives.
Zookeeper Battle
This is an old one, but boy is it still good. Zookeeper DX sticks to a similar blend of block-swapping and matching to Candy Crush Friends Saga, but here the blocks are cute little animals in an adorable zoo.
Soon enough, you're matching a crazy number of animals to order. If the idea of paying for a game seems outrageous to you these days, then Zookeeper Battle does similar things for free.
Bejeweled Stars
Candy Crush Saga inherited the casual match-3 crown (in terms of popularity, at least) from Bejeweled - a similarly colourful game of swapping coloured baubles and forming huge chains.
Bejeweled Stars saw the series essentially doing what Candy Crush Friends Saga has done, subtly reworking the formula with big dose of bonus polish. PopCap is the original master at this sort of thing, so Candy Crush fans should really check it out.
Scurvy Scallywags
Perhaps Candy Crush Friends Saga is just a little too saccharine sweet for you. Or perhaps you want a little more depth and heft to your block-swapping action.
The mona lisa molecule answers. Meet Scurvy Scallywags, a hilarious match-three puzzler that folds in pirate puns, RPG-lite battles, and sea shanties. It's an absolute hoot.
TwoDots
We're really pulling out all the classics here. Four years ago, Dots was one of those colour-matching games that really caught fire, thanks to a mix of stylish visuals and irresistible gameplay.
It still plays beautifully, though we should note that you're not swapping coloured tiles here so much as linking them. Mr wasim name ringtone creator. The end effect is similarly intoxicating.
Tiny Bubbles
And now for something a little different. Tiny Bubbles has as much charm and sheer eye-popping colour as Candy Crush Friends Saga, but it genuinely offers something different to the match-three genre.
This time you're popping and manipulating clusters of coloured bubbles in various ways so as to form those matches. It's a tactile, fresh, and surprisingly varied experience.

ZOOKEEPER BATTLE
ZOOKEEPER! The overwhelmingly popular action puzzle game with over 10 million players now comes to Google Play Store as a versus puzzle app!
How to Play
You simply switch adjacent animals, and if the switch makes a row of three or more of the same animals, they are caught! The animals you catch make up your ATTACK and DEFENSE points.
Each round, you have 30 seconds to catch as many animals as possible, and the aim is to build up your ATTACK and DEFENSE enough to beat your opponent.
If your opponent's LIFE runs out… you win!
If you both have some LIFE left… one more round!
*If neither player wins after 5 rounds, the winner is whoever has more LIFE remaining.
Tips
Zookeeper Battle Friend Match List
Your opponent has the same animal panels as you!
In every match, you and your opponent will share the exact same animal panels. Even the new ones that fall in to replace those you've caught!
This means you have to catch those critters more efficiently than your opponent. Luck doesn't come into it! Or does it? Item panels will fall in randomly. If you're feeling lucky, victory could be yours!
Master active chaining!
If you just sit and wait for animal panels to disappear… you're missing out!
While the animals you've caught are busy disappearing, you can be working on your next catch, and the next, and the next one after that! Chain catches together to be a true master.
Keep your eyes open for lucky animals!
Each round, one chosen animal type will specially give a boost to both your ATTACK and DEFENSE. These are lucky animals. Don't forget to watch for them when the round starts!
