I must admit, like many of you out there I have an addiction that I’m not proud of – the temptation and charm of cutesy puzzle games. Yes, I’ve spent hours playing Candy Crush Saga (and most of the other King saga games too) and now I’ve found another I just can’t put down… Cookie Jam from Social Gaming Network. As someone who was part of a generation of gamers who grew up playing Tetris and Bejeweled for hours, it was only a matter of time before developers found a niche in the market that would appeal to the likes of players everywhere.
With a similar gameplay style to recent releases such as Candy Crush Saga, Jelly Mania and Farm Heroes Saga, it’s easy to see why this game has already smashed the 1, 000, 000 downloads mark for Android users and continues to grow in popularity through rave reviews from iOS users in the iTunes store. The aim of the game is simple – complete the puzzle through making matches to advance to the next level. The brightly coloured, fun shapes that cover your puzzle board transform into delectable treats with any big matches you make. These treats give players various bonuses and help you to complete the level and reach top scores.
As with many puzzle games, SGN (Social Gaming Network), has honed in on the mobile gamers weakness – in-app purchases on the go. The Top In-App Purchases for the game include an order of 25 coins for $1.29 and a stack of 135 coins for $6.49. Both have proven to be incredibly popular amongst players, which is music to the ears of game publishers as their monetisation strategies pay off.
This addictively fun game is sure to claim the hearts of many as you travel alongside the adorable kitchen characters that guide you along your way.
