Lately the popularity of games such as candy crush has just exploded. Video games in the past were pretty inaccessible because they had a steep difficulty curve and they required allot of time to master.

But lately a new wave of games has appeared, and spearheading this new trend in candy crush saga. This brings us to our first question, why is candy crush so popular?

You can’t enter a room or go on facebook without someone talking about this game, or sending you invites. Such a complex phenomenon is not easily explained, seeing as there is no single cause. But possibly one of the most important factors is the accessibility of the title. It does not require a vast time commitment and it is very easy to pick up. Of course the more you advance, the harder the levels get, but that’s the whole point.

The fact that it is immediately available on facebook also does not hurt. Hundreds of millions of people use this social platform and some of them are bound to try the game out. There are event entire internet sites designed for candy crush hints and tips

So to answer the question, the popularity is caused by a mix of simple yet pleasing game design, accessibility   and the right marketing decisions made by the game’s makers.

For example, let’s say that you are playing candy crush 158  and you fail 5 times in a row to complete the level. You may notice that the game won’t let you continue. At that point you have the choice between sitting and waiting for time to pass, or get your credit card and buy more lives. Although inconvenient, this system is how the game generates revenue. Even the simplest games are quite expensive to make. Take into account that candy crush is also free to play and you can see why they chose to do this.

So is there a way to get free lives? Short answer is yes, and some of them are dangerously close to cheating. You are far better off respecting the game’s rules and trying your best not to lose those lives in the first place.
