The deep male voice is clearly geared towards keeping women in the game – and annoying the crap out of their husbands,Īs I play, I’m aware of being manipulated. To be fair, there are improvements over the original game – the player gets to “eat the chocolate”, and if you don’t clear a level, it says, “You’ll get it next time!” It expands on the original, adding new pieces, new level styles, and new challenges. Recently, has been making a big advertising push on TV, and it is with deep shame that I admit that I allowed myself to be tempted to download Soda Saga. I gave up at level 140 and moved on to other things. I love chocolate and didn’t like the feeling of dreading it. (Yes, I’m a cheapskate.) Eventually I got bored with the game, and annoyed by things like the way it told me I “failed” when I didn’t clear a level, and certain levels that made chocolate an enemy of sorts. Also, I wanted to see how far I could get in the game without making in-game purchases after learning that some large percentage of players made it through the 500+ levels without paying for anything. I started playing the original Candy Crush because a friend was playing, and I got mildly (and pointlessly, considering she had a head start) competitive with her for a while. As far as video games go, while puzzles are fine for passing time, the ones I’ve most thoroughly enjoyed have been horror-themed shooters (American McGee’s Alice, Undying, and, more recently, the BioShock series). That might seem like a logical move for someone who has a blog about making Jell-O, but, contrary to what some readers might imagine, I’m not really the house-wifey type. So what have I been doing instead? Alas, I’ve been playing Candy Crush Soda Saga on my iPad. If you must watch television in real time, here’s a way to ignore the commercial breaks.
