Flip Flop Candy Shop Overview
Flip Flop Candy Shop was one of those simple, colorful games you'd find on a Flash portal in the mid 2000s. It fit right in with the era's casual puzzle games, offering a straightforward task with a sweet theme. I remember loading it up in a browser window, the graphics bright and blocky, ready for a few minutes of distraction.
You control a cursor, clicking on adjacent candies to swap their positions. The goal is to create rows or columns of three or more matching pieces, which then vanish from the board. New candies drop in from the top to fill the gaps, sometimes creating chain reactions. The game moves at a steady clip, and the boards get more crowded as you progress, asking you to think a move or two ahead. It feels like a familiar, tactile sort of puzzle, where each satisfying match clears a little more space.
