Show Off Your Candystand Love with Sweet Candystand T-Shirts!

Designer duds are overrated -- no wardrobe is complete without a few sweet Candystand threads!

Today we're opening up our merchandise Candystand Shop to the public so you can show everyone how much you love our free online games! We have dozens of tees and tanks featuring beloved Candystand Critters, hit games Billiards, Electric Box, Vector Tower Defense and Momma's Diner, plus a few mousepads and mugs thrown in for good measure.

Some of you may have seen these shirts when we ran a contest a few months ago on our Facebook fan page (psst, you should join now if you haven't already!), so here's your chance to grab the shirts everyone's been pining after.

So what are you waiting for? Visit the Candystand Merchandise Shop!

Match-Two Game Preview: Cocoa Match

Our brand new game, Cocoa Match, is ready to launch tomorrow morning, but we thought we'd give you a taste before it hits!

Cocoa Match is a match-two game where you'll need to clear each board by matching two runes of the same shape/color or the same number (more points are awarded for number matches). You can also earn medallions on each board by building up a combo streak of matches -- if you run out of matching tiles and need to click the idol to get new ones, you'll lose that streak.

Cocoa Match Gameplay


Three spells will help you along the way - Shuffle, Extra Time and Reveal can provide the edge you need to complete each level, but they require mana to use (you'll earn one of three types of mana in each of the three puzzles - Fire for Jaguar, Air for Owl and Water for Snake). The spells can also be upgraded through the Magic Shop using coins gained during play.

Join our Facebook fan page to see more screens from Cocoa Match!

Did we mention this game has trophies? You can win a gold, silver or bronze trophy (along with a ton of tickets) for submitting your score after each game. Learn how tickets on Candystand work.

The game is set to launch tomorrow morning, so make sure you check Candystand.com when you wake up to play Cocoa Match!

Hidden Object Game Legend of the Golden Mask Launches!

We launched our hidden object game, Legend of the Golden Mask, less than a week ago, and it's already been played over 130,000 times! The game challenges you to find items throughout exotic South America while solving the mystery behind your grandfather's diary. What makes this hidden object game different than others out there? You can play the full game without having to download a thing (we like this a lot).

From Jay Is Games' Review:

While not as long as a full-sized downloadable game, Legend of the Golden Mask is a complete adventure, a perfect way to while away an afternoon, or a coffee break. Ultimately a fun, casual gameplay experience can be had by all.

Unigamsity says: 

All in all, Candystand manages to deliver flash game fans, as well as casual players an incredible product that can be played completely free of charge. And we’re not talking about a demo or a trial, but a full, high quality game. And I am sure that if there were more developers like Candystand, we could be playing all our favorite games for free.
