A prompt to build your own version of Candy Crush Saga

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Candy Crush Saga-style app, first version

Build an iPhone match-three puzzle game for people who enjoy quick, colorful puzzles. Use original fruit-shaped tiles, a bright pastel palette and playful animations. The main screen should show a small level map with saved progress and a lives counter. Tapping a level opens a board where I swipe adjacent tiles to match three or more. Matched tiles disappear, pieces fall into place and new tiles fill the gaps. Show the score, remaining moves and level goal above the board. Include one limited-use booster that clears a selected tile. Losing a level uses a life, and lives refill over time. Save progress on the device. Use realistic sample levels and placeholder artwork with no Candy Crush branding.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

Candy Crush gives players King's original puzzle collection, an established community to compete with, and years of game balancing.
