Phone and Tablet gaming - Candy Crush

Candy Crush is a multi-millionaire game that was developed by King. It started of as being just a Facebook game that was released on April 12th 2012 but then released on the apple app store on November 14th 2012 and the android play store on December 14th 2012.

Eventhough Candy Crush is a free-to-play game, it is estimated to make £610,000 per day ($1,000,000). They make this money with their: Buy add-ons, extra lives and access to higher levels. 25% of Candy Crush gamers have spent money on Candy Crush and 30% claim they are addicted. However King has pointed out that more than half of players who reach the last level in Candy Crush Saga have done so without spending money on the game. 


It has been stated that Candy Crush hit 500 million downloads/installers on November 2013 and 150 Billion games of Candy Crush have been played. Whether on tablets (ipads, android tablets), phones (android, apple) and computers.


From my experience I can say that Candy Crush is a really addictive, good game. However, I did give up on it.
