Description

From the listing uploaded by “superpocket”.

We all love candy, right? So does this cute little creature, but it's always tantalizingly out of reach for him. You'll need to use his extendible grappling tail to catch the candy, but it's not always as easy as it looks. Push and pull obstacles, balance on unsteady logs, cut the ropes, climb flag poles and grip onto almost anything to work your way across the level and grab that candy! Based on the hit Flash game, Catch the Candy features a lot of levels to complete and achievements to unlock. Each set of levels has unique features to vary the gameplay: hot beaches with tropical palm trees, city parks, and streets, and even some forest lands! This is the funny physics action puzzle IQ ball game! But remember, even this creature sometimes needs a break from eating candy to play outside! With colourful graphics and catchy music kids and grown-ups will love this charming physics-based puzzler. So what are you waiting for? Catch the Candy! • Many levels set across multiple different worlds • Unique physics-based gameplay • Colorful cartoon graphics • Hidden 'Easter Eggs' to uncover • Based on the hit Flash game
