Sweet Squish

From the mobile game company who brought you some of those other games you played every time you were supposed to be socially interacting comes *Sweet Squish!*

Featuring your FAVOURITE sweet treats, this crazy title puts a real spin on the classic match-3 and match-4 games you play all the time.

How do I play Sweet Squish?

Simply click a candy to select it, then click another and they will swap places. Match 3 or 4 in a row or column to _squish_ them. Once you squish all of the candies, you have won the stage, and your score will update on our patented Global Scoreboard, for all your friends (and strangers) to see!

If you squish candies in the wrong order and you find yourself stuck, do not worry! Simply click the Quit button and try again. We won't even take your ticket away until you successfully clear the level. How nice are we?

What's a Ticket?

Each level costs one Ticket to play. Out of tickets? No problem, you can buy more with a small amount of cash - or wait for a brief moment to earn a ticket with the passage of time.

Global Scoreboard?

Yep, the whole world can see how well (or badly) you do at Sweet Squish. If you don't want people thinking you're terrible at games, you'd better get playing!

How did you come up with this idea?

Using our proprietary Time Accelerator™ we've been able to harvest the most advanced mobile gaming technology you've ever seen. We created the *best* mobile game of the future, and brought it to the present. You're welcome.

Don't mobile games exploit people's addictions?

Here at our company, we take these matters very seriously. That's why we promise to never do bad things with our mobile games. You have our word.

Is Sweet Squish addictive?

Of course not. It's fun, and you'll want to keep playing it, but in the good way.

Can children play Sweet Squish?

Absolutely! In fact, our CEO and inventor of the Time Accelerator™ has just given his son a copy for his 11th birthday. If the game was addictive, that would make him a pretty irresponsible parent!
