Candy Crush Saga launched in November 2012, which makes ita whole decade old. I know, I can barely believe it either. And to celebrate that landmark it’s adding some cool new features to keep people on playing. Like a self-celebratory birthday party, except everyone is invited.

While many may assume this guilty pleasure mobile game had already passed its heyday, Candy Crush Saga is still ongoingly popular, having accrued more than three billion downloads over those years. Threebillion!

In an almost Bond movie-like fashion, Candy Crush Saga’s makers, King, went to Abbey Road Studios, London, and recorded new audio tracks with a live orchestra for the game update. Yup, those in-game sounds aren’t fakies. In addition, the 10-year-old Candy Crush Saga adds 12 (yes, twelve, not ten!) entirely new audio tracks to keep things fresh.

King has also given the game a revamped user interface based on user feedback, plus new animated backgrounds for added variety. Not that the gameplay’s striking simplicity has changed: this is still your favourite match-three kind of puzzler available right on your phone.

It’s enough to make me want to dust off the old download and dig back in on myAndroiddevice. But there’s no time asBlack Friday Dealsare upon us, and I’m more likely to be buying a new TV. But for a bit of casual downtime, it sounds like Candy Crush has still got the goods.
