About Candy Orchard

Candy Orchard is a bubble shooter you play in a browser tab. Fire sweets at a swarm hanging from the ceiling, match three of a colour to clear them, and cut whole sections loose so they fall. Three baskets are free, with no account and nothing to install.

The game

Twelve baskets, each a hand-authored layout on a nine-column hexagonal grid, fourteen rows deep. Three colours at the start, six by the end. Shots bank off the side walls and stick to the ceiling, sweets fall the moment they stop being connected to the top, and consecutive clears build a combo multiplier. Every rule and the strategy that follows from it is on How to play.

The layouts are fixed rather than randomly generated, so basket 7 opens the same way for every player. What varies is the colour you are handed, and even that is constrained: the game only ever gives you a colour that still exists somewhere on the board.

Why nine columns

Because of thumbs. Eleven columns across a 390-pixel phone gives a 33-pixel bubble, which is smaller than the part of a screen a thumb can actually aim at. Nine columns gives about 41 pixels. The whole board geometry — column count, row height, how far down the swarm reaches — was set by measuring a real phone viewport rather than by eye, because a bubble shooter that is uncomfortable to aim on a phone is not a bubble shooter anyone finishes.

How the money works

Baskets 1 to 3 are free, forever, with unlimited retries and no advertising. One optional payment unlocks all twelve baskets and adds the ability to carry on from a spilled basket — the deepest rows are cleared away and the run continues — instead of restarting it. It is charged once. There is no subscription and nothing is ever billed again.

Paddle.com Market Ltd is the merchant of record. Buyers in India are quoted in rupees. Your local sales tax may be added at checkout where it applies, so the final total can read slightly higher than the price on the offer card. Refunds run 14 days — see Refunds.

How it is built

One HTML page, a canvas, and hand-written JavaScript. No game engine, no image files, no fonts to download, no build step. Every sweet, every particle and every sound is drawn or synthesised in the browser as you play. That is why it starts quickly on a cheap phone and a slow connection, and why there is nothing to install.

What we do not claim

Candy Orchard is new. It has no reviews, no star rating and no player count, and you will not find one invented anywhere on this site. The numbers published here — twelve baskets, three free, three to six colours, the ceiling-pressure figures on How to play — are read straight out of the game's own level data.
