Catch The Candy — Play Free Online

Catch The Candy is a small browser puzzle game built around its title: sweets are in play, and your job is to get them where they need to go. It sits in the Puzzle & Brain section of Doodle Jump, so it is the quieter, think-it-through kind of page on a site that is mostly known for fast reflex games.

It loads straight in the browser with nothing to install and no account, which makes it a natural fit for a few spare minutes. The catalogue lists it under the developer name "Web Games", which is a generic credit rather than a studio we can point to, so treat the details below as what the game page itself tells us and nothing more.

If you came to the site for Doodle Jump, think of this as a change of pace: the same pick-up-and-play feel, but the challenge is working out the right move rather than racing a clock to the next platform.

How to play

The game lists these controls: move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and select. On a phone or tablet you tap and swipe instead. A mouse or touch screen is the more comfortable way to play anything that involves aiming and selecting, while the keyboard keys cover movement.

Start a level, look at where the candy is and what is around it, and then make your move. If a try goes wrong, restart the level and use what you saw the first time.

Tips

• Take a moment at the start of each level to look at the whole screen before you move anything.
• Switch between mouse and keyboard if one feels clumsy; both are supported.
• If you are stuck, restart rather than fighting a bad position.
• On a phone, use short, deliberate swipes instead of long drags.

Catch The Candy suits short sessions on any device with a browser, whether that is a laptop, a Chromebook or a phone.
