VGU: The map screen in Candy Crush Jelly Saga now scrolls into the background. Players love characters like Yeti and we hope that they’ll grow to love Jenny, the Jelly Queen and Cupcake Carl just as much! Yeti, who is Jenny’s uncle in the game, features in both Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga and so we wanted to evolve the characters and the story in our latest instalment. How did you create her narrative whilst creating a game about solving randomised puzzles?Īndreas: The characters are an important part of the development process whenever we launch a new game. VGU: The story of Candy Crush Jelly Saga focuses on a young yeti by the name of Jenny. VGU: Are you planning on adding new levels to the 120 that are included with the first release?Īndreas: That’s correct, as with many of our games, we plan to add additional levels over time. With an in game opponent to play against we could build on the puzzle challenge and add more strategic and competitive elements that I think our players will really enjoy. The main difference between the two games is the boss modes where players go head-to-head against the Jelly Queen and Cupcake Carl on certain levels.

What inspired these levels to be included in the game?Īndreas: Our inspiration for Jelly actually came from the jam mode in Candy Crush Soda because it was so popular with players that we wanted to build on the concept and concentrated on making it a more prominent feature in the game. Why did you decide to make this a permanent objective? One of the new level types introduced in Jelly Saga is the Boss Mode. VGU: Nearly every level in Candy Crush Jelly Saga requires you to fill the game board with Jelly, similar to the Soda levels in Candy Crush Soda Saga.

However, players will find elements that are familiar in the sister titles that they know and love. VGU: What was the biggest challenge in creating a sequel to the hugely successful Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga?Īndreas: The biggest challenge we had when we were creating Candy Crush Jelly Saga was ensuring that we had another great game that could live together symbiotically with the other two games in the franchise.Ĭandy Crush Jelly offers players a more competitive gameplay experience than its sister titles with the introduction of its boss modes – Jelly Boss and Puffler Boss – where you compete against an in game opponent. Players love the lollipop hammer in the first two Candy Crush games and so our inspiration for the new booster came from this. What new items have been introduced in Candy Crush Jelly Saga?Īndreas: We launched Candy Crush Jelly Saga with a new booster – the colourbomb hammer – which allows the player to remove all of the same colour candy from the board. VGU: The power ups introduced in the previous games have proven to be highly popular.
