Blasties

Blasties is a colour-matching candy shooter. You fire candies from below and build chains in the cluster above. Free to play in your browser.

About Blasties

The top of the screen is filled with candies. You aim from the bottom and fire one up; the candy you launch sticks to the cluster.

The goal is to bring three or more of the same colour together. Complete the chain and those candies burst, pushing your score up.

The game rests on a single mechanic and its rule is clear after one shot. The difficulty comes from reading how the cluster is shaped and adjusting your aim to it.

Why kids like this game

The rule takes one sentence to explain, so it's playable from the first shot. The candies are colourful and the burst is satisfying.

• Check your colour: look at the next candy before firing and pick your target to match it.
• Hunt for pairs: two matching candies already sitting side by side are the cheapest chance at a trio.
• Bounce off the walls: spots you can't reach directly become reachable with a bank shot.
• Aim low: bursting a chain at the bottom of the cluster can drop the candies above it too.
• Don't fire blind: a wrong colour sticking makes the cluster grow and later shots harder.

• One mechanic: the rule is understood in a single shot.
• Colour chains: three or more of a colour burst together.
• Score system: longer chains are worth more points.
• Bank shots: bouncing off walls reaches awkward spots.
