Description

Candies 'n Curses is a 2D arcade rogue-lite game, featuring chaotic 'sugar-rushed' ghost slaying. Play as Molli Pop as you fend off hordes of adorable ghosts and take down mischievous bosses, all within the cursed walls of a twisted mansion. Power-up with new flashlights and abilities as you level up - and join forces with ghostly pups and other spectral creatures as you work together to purge the mansion of its ghostly residents.

History

Candies 'n Curses is the first game from Tako Boy Studios. Developed by a team of two (and with the help of fantastic sound designer Cesar Tovar - aka Cactus Bear), Candies 'n Curses hit the App Store and Google Play Store on October 25th, 2018.

Version 1.0 was launched after 8 months of development. An additional expansion was released titled “Curse Crusher” the following Spring, adding 6 new difficult stages and remixed bosses to conquer, as well as additional flashlights, charms, candies and curses for players to experiment with.

Development concluded with the final major content update in June 2020, which added a variety of costumes to purchase for the main character, Molli Pop. With over 1.5 million downloads across both storefronts, Candies ‘n Curses continues to foster an active, passionate community of players!

    I really enjoy this game! It's super fun and engaging. I would totally give it five stars. Then there’s this pesky issue at the end of the game. The screen freezes sometimes. I can't watch an ad to keep playing or double my points. The worst part, I can’t go back to the starting menu. Closing and reopening the app is such a hassle. It gets frustrating after a while!

    I give this game five stars! No bugs, amazing quality, smooth gameplay. I recommend saving your progress in the game. A feature to choose from previously explored places or maps would be awesome for battling ghosts, slimes, skeletons, and more. I hope you consider my suggestions for the next update! :)

    I stumbled upon this game on Twitter and felt drawn to it. Never really followed a mobile game before, but the moment it launched, I downloaded it right away. After a couple of runs, I found myself completely captivated by the charming characters and the addictive gameplay. It was too good to resist, so I bought the ad-free version. What a pleasant surprise! Along with no ads, I got a super cute dog. The game shines with its fun and simple mechanics. Everything feels polished, from the graphics to the controls. They're incredibly responsive and fluid. I'm thrilled to see how awesome this game has turned out!

    Candies 'n Curses blew me away! This arcade platformer hooks you instantly and keeps you coming back for more. The game design is stunning; the colors pop and the enemy and character sprites are delightful. It has that classic arcade soundtrack that sets the perfect spooky Halloween mood. I enjoy experimenting with different "flashlight" options to master various play styles. This game is an absolute gem! ❤️ Necrowitch

    This game is something special! You dive right in, but it throws tough challenges at you. Every time you mess up, you know it's on you. Death happens, but there's a sense of growth as you power up with each attempt. The difficulty doesn't let up, keeping things exciting. Plus, no annoying ads interrupting the fun. Seriously, calling it 5 stars feels like selling it short!

    This game has an adorable style and the gameplay is a blast. The characters are charming too. A small hiccup happens when I use the electric shield while falling. Instead of continuing my fall, I get stuck on the floor, which leads to taking more damage. I also want to say sorry for my earlier review. That was totally my error. Since creating an account, everything's been smooth sailing. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience, getting a solid 9.5 out of 10. I'm really enjoying it! :)

    This game features adorable pixel art and a cast of quirky characters. The storyline is both fun and lighthearted, keeping things entertaining. Each level ramps up the challenge, but it never feels overwhelming or boring. And that soundtrack? Absolutely top-notch! I find myself returning to this game time and again, getting completely immersed every single time. A solid 10 out of 10 recommendation!

    This game stands out because it's a blast to play. Ads stay mostly in the background, so you can really dive into the fun. The story keeps things interesting for sure. I did run into an issue with the king's beacon flashlight. At times, it didn't light up enemies like it should. A little glitch here and there. Switching to another weapon helped me out. After a little setback with dying, the flashlight worked again. Overall, still enjoying the ride.

    This mobile pixel game stands out as a true gem! The art takes your breath away, and the soundtrack? It just pulls you in deeper. Boss fights feel engaging and fun, adding excitement to every battle. The story brings a light-hearted charm that keeps you turning the pages. Just one small hiccup with the knife style flashlights, which occasionally misbehave, but it hardly detracts from the overall experience. This game deserves all the love and recognition in the world! It gets an infinite score from me!

    That sounds incredibly frustrating. You’re trying to gain an extra life, but the ads just won’t play. Losing your progress after that must feel like a slap in the face. And when the game freezes afterward, it adds even more stress. On top of that, missing achievements like defeating the Blast worm feels unfair, especially after completing the game on the hardest difficulty. It should feel rewarding, not like you're being cheated out of those accomplishments. Hopefully, the developers can look into these issues and find a solution soon. Fingers crossed for a fix!
