Our Story
An independent Canadian editorial desk for colourful mobile puzzle games.
Edited in Canada
Mobile puzzle games can be cheerful, inventive, relaxing, demanding, expensive, or several of those things at once. Their bright presentation often makes very different experiences look identical at first glance. A screenshot of Candy Crush and a screenshot of Gummy Drop look like the same game — but one manipulates your win rate with patented algorithms, and the other lets you practice hard levels indefinitely.
Candy Atlas was created to describe those differences clearly. We cover candy-themed match-three games and adjacent casual puzzles through reviews, practical guides, comparisons, and documented field notes. We care about how a board reads in three seconds, how a game feels in one hand during a bus ride, how difficulty grows past level 100, and whether pricing and interruptions are understandable or deliberately opaque.
We separate desk research from hands-on play, disclose relevant relationships, and do not accept payment for rankings. Scores are editorial summaries supported by a published rubric — not scientific measurements, not financial advice, and not promises that everyone will agree.
When we make a mistake, we correct it. When we haven't played a game hands-on, we say so. When a publisher provides a review copy, we disclose it. Transparency is not a marketing slogan here — it's the only way this works.
Candy Atlas is an editorial publication. We do not operate games, accept deposits, offer wagering, sell virtual currency, or promise prizes. Any discussion of points, boosters, lives, or multipliers is explanatory coverage of mobile game mechanics — not a claim that those mechanics have real-world value.
