Gameplay
How to play
Players swap neighbouring sweets to line up three or more of the same colour. Matches clear, new sweets fall into place and cascades follow. Each level sets a goal and a fixed number of moves.
Read the goal
Before you start, a sheet shows what this level wants: a score, jelly, colours, cherries or chocolate, and how many moves you have.
Make specials, then combine them
Four, five, L and T shapes make special sweets. Swapping two specials together is where the big moves are.
Win up to three stars
Finish the goal with moves to spare. Stars count towards the Galaxy Stars leaderboard on Google Play Games.
Special candies
What the special candies do
Behaviour described here matches the game engine exactly.
Striped candy
Clears an entire line. A vertical match of four creates a candy that clears its row; a horizontal match of four creates one that clears its column.
Tip. The stripe direction shows which line will be cleared.
Goals and blockers
Level goals and blockers
Early worlds introduce one objective at a time. Advanced levels combine several, such as clearing jelly while bringing cherries down and containing spreading chocolate.
Reach the score
The simplest goal. Hit the target before your moves run out. Stars depend on how far past it you go.
Clear the jelly
Make matches on top of jelly to clear it. Double jelly needs two.
Collect candies
Gather a set number of one or more colours.
Bring the cherries down
Cherries can't be matched. Clear the candies under them until they reach the bottom row.
Stop the chocolate
Chocolate can't be swapped. Match next to it to clear it, and if you go a whole move without clearing any, it spreads.
Break the cages
A caged candy can't move. Match it where it stands to break the cage.
Burst the chocolate bars
Bars sit on top of a candy, one to three layers thick. Each match beside one, or blast through it, peels a layer.
Boosters
Hammer, +5 moves, free swap
Smash one sweet, buy a little more time, or swap two sweets that wouldn't normally match. Bought with gems, singly or in fives.
Leaderboards
For every level, and overall
See how your best score compares on each level, and where you stand across the whole galaxy. Pick your own display name in Account.
Accessibility
Colour-blind symbols and calmer motion
Turn on symbols so every sweet can be told apart without colour, reduce motion for gentler effects, and switch sound and vibration separately.
Store and ads
Prices and adverts
Gumdrop Galaxy is free to play. The items below are the only real-money purchases, all sold through Google Play as fixed packs. Prices are the UK prices set on Google Play; Google converts them for other countries and shows the final price, with any tax, before you pay.
- No randomised rewards or loot boxes.
- Rewarded videos are optional: +5 moves when you lose, a life when you're out (up to 5 a day), or 10 free gems (up to 5 a day).
- No full-screen ad before level 10, then at most one every third win, three minutes apart.
- "Remove ads" is a one-off purchase that switches off the full-screen ads.
- In the UK and EEA you're asked for ad consent first, and can change it in Settings.

When can I download it?
Gumdrop Galaxy is in internal testing on Google Play. General availability follows the completion of testing and Google Play review, with iPhone and iPad to follow. To join the testing programme, email us with the Google account you use on your phone.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every level can be played without paying. You earn gems by winning levels and claiming the daily reward, and spend them on boosters and lives. Gems can also be bought, and there's a one-off purchase that removes the full-screen ads.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The game saves on your phone and syncs with our server when you're back online. Leaderboards and the store need a connection.
How do I move my progress to a new phone?
Open Account (the person icon on the home screen) and save your progress with an email and password. Sign in with the same details on the new phone.
A purchase didn't arrive. What do I do?
Close and reopen the game first: an interrupted purchase is finished the next time the game starts. If it still hasn't arrived, email [email protected] with your Google Play order number (it starts with GPA.) and we'll sort it out.
Is it suitable for children?
The game is rated for everyone, but it's meant for players aged 13 and over because it has purchases, ads and an optional email account. Ads are limited to Google's all-ages (G) content.
