What is Candy Carousel?

Candy Carousel is a puzzle where you eat a picture made of candies. Queues of little munchers, each with a colour and a number of bites, wait beside a track that loops around the picture. You tap a queue to send its front muncher round the track, and it bites candies of its own colour on the way. Eat every candy to win; lose if a muncher comes back with bites left and every bench seat is taken.

How to play

  1. Look at the picture on the tray: a grid of coloured candies. Below it are queues of munchers (each shows its bite count) and a bench of empty seats.
  2. Tap a queue, or a muncher waiting on the bench, to send it onto the track. The track loops around the picture, and only three or four munchers fit on it at once.
  3. As a muncher passes each row and column, it looks in from the edge at the first candy left in that line and takes a bite only if that candy is its colour. Candies in striped wrappers need two bites.
  4. A muncher hops off when its bites run out. If it finishes the lap with bites left, it takes a bench seat and waits to be sent again.
  5. Eat every candy to win. A muncher that returns with bites left when all bench seats are full jams the track and you lose, as does a full bench where no muncher you can send has a candy of its colour in reach.

Tips

  • Queues and seats light up when their colour has a candy they can bite right now. Send those first; a muncher with nothing to bite just ends up on the bench.
  • Small marks on the picture show the candy that each row and column would offer first, so you can see what a colour can reach.
  • For three stars, never have more than one bench seat in use at once. Two stars need only that the bench never fills up completely.
  • From level 11 some candies are wrapped and take two bites; their munchers carry the extra bites.
  • At the Night Fair (levels 21 to 30) only the front muncher in each queue shows its colour, so think one step ahead.

Candy Carousel FAQ

How many levels are there?

There are 30 pictures in three sets of ten: Candy Counter, Garden Party and Night Fair. Each level unlocks after you finish the one before.

Why did I lose with candies still left?

Either a muncher came back with bites left and every bench seat was taken, or the bench was full and none of the munchers you could send had a candy of its colour in reach. Restart the level and send colours that have candies to bite first.

How are stars awarded?

Three stars if you never used more than one bench seat at a time, two if the bench never filled up, and one otherwise.

Is progress saved?

Yes. The game saves the level you are on, the levels you have unlocked, your stars and your sound and motion settings.
