I play candy crush a lot especially if I'm at the doctors office or something just sitting around it passes time for me, my boyfriend uses it as a form of competing against each other by the levels , but overall I like the game and it relaxes me and gives me something to do to pass time.
I actually do like this game a lot and tend to play a little more when I'm bored or as someone else said when they are in the restroom toilet....LoL! Not sure if it measures up to Angry birds, but then again I haven't played that game for a long time.
I completely agree with you that Candy Crush is something which has been totally over hyped. I understand that the game has very good graphics and animations, and it has a very good general appearance which might appeal to the younger audience but I seriously do not understand why so many adults are hooked onto it. Even, the concept of the game is borrowed.
