In Candy Crush Soda Saga, players eliminate candies by matching three or more of the same color. The goal of the game varies from level to level and may include getting a certain score, clearing specific candies, or freeing trapped coke bottles. Players can create specific candy combinations (such as striped candies, rainbow candies) to get special effects to help complete level goals. The game also provides a variety of props and boosters, such as bombs and mixed candies, to help players pass difficult levels more easily.
