candycrush's Issues

Additional Styling

The game's board looks good and matches that of the app but the rest of the page is lacking color. Some additional styling to the page, such as:

• Making the score appear differently
• Adding a nice background

Sounds

The game would be better if it had some sounds every time a match was made or even some background music that plays idly

Adding Powerups

The original game has powerups when you make a match of 5 or more candies. If we could create some logic that creates a new 'candy' when a match of 5 or more is made that destroys every candy in a vertical and horizontal straight line that would be great.

Timer

A timer would make a great addition. Something that counts down how long the player has to make matches restricts them from making anymore moves at the end.

Congratulations

Some form of congratulations to the game would be a nice addition. I'm thinking adding a popup that says something positive every time a certain amount of points is hit would be good.

Unrestricted Matching

I would like it so you could only move the candy 1 position, up, down, left, or right, and only if it makes a match. Currently you can move a candy to anywhere on the board if it makes a match.

Rules

A component, that explains how to play the game would be a very nice addition. Something that explains that you need to click, drag, and drop a candy to move it and that you need to make matches of 3 or 4.
