This is what you wanna know when you start playing Soda

Yosca

Hello fellow Soda Crushers!

When I started playing Soda I didn't know what the game was about. Yes, the level assignment was clear: find the bears, spread the jam, bring the bear up.

But how do you do certain moves that make you lose the ice, or find those bears more easily?

You have different types of levels. For example, you have to spread jam, or clean the bubble gum, or get rid of ice. Then I got boosters, which were briefly described, and gold bars. Logically I used the boosters and gold bars only to find out later that boosters and gold bars don't just get replenished 😕

Let me give you more info about boosters, gold, energy and features below 👇🏻

To know in which events and features you can win them, go HERE

Boosters:

Striped candy

You can make these yourself by combining 4 of the same color candy horizontally or vertically. When you activate this booster, an entire row disappears vertically or horizontally.

Wrapped candy

You can make a wrapped candy from 5 of the same color candy. Exploding it will remove more candies.

Lollipop aka hammer

You can smash a candy or damage a blocker (like licorice swirl, ice, cupcake) without using a move.

Colorbomb

Choose a color to get rid of it, or combine it with another booster (e.g. wrapped or striped candy, fish) to change  that color of the candy in a booster.

Free switch

Switch 2 candies that don't match without using any moves so that they do match, for example to make a booster.  You can swap in all directions.

Coloring candy

Combine the coloring candy with another color candy and it changes into the same color as the coloring candy.

Swedish fish

1 Fish becomes 2 fish. You can combine 2 fish of different colors and multiple fish are supposed to swim towards blockers.

Striped lollipop

When you use a striped lollipop to remove a candy or a blocker, it will create a blast horizontal - vertical without using a move.

Supersonic lolly

You can use this booster to remove all layers of the board, and, if possible, complete the level. At the moment you can get the 5 pieces you need to complete the lollipop in an event in Teams.

Powerful Boosters

You can combine the different boosters with each other to make a powerful booster:

Combine a wrapped and a striped candy and a large area gets clean.

Combine colorbomb and coloring candy and many blockers are gone. Your board has been cleaned up quite a bit!

Combine colorbomb or coloring candy with a striped or wrapped candy and the colors of candy that are combined with each other will become a striped or wrapped candy.

Combine colorbomb or coloring candy with the Swedish fish and you will get twice as many fish (I personally have a big preference for the double fish 😁)

These blockers can encounter in your Soda game:

Bubble Gum

It spreads or strengthens every move you do not "chew".  Make matches with the candy that has gum on it to remove it.

Ice

It can be broken by matching candies adjacent to it, or through any special candies effects reaching the ice cube.

Chocolate

There is brown chocolate 1 layer) and white chocolate (2 layers) It spreads every move you do not clear it. It can also avert specials. Chocolate can be eaten by breaking the candies adjacent to it, or through any special candies effects reaching the chocolate.

Honey

It can be removed by matching candies adjacent to it, or through any special candy's effects reaching the honey.

Liquorice swirl

It can be disposed of through breaking the candy next to it, or any special candy's effects through it. They are resistant, if you e.g. use the striped lollipop hammer, the exposure stops at the licorice.

Liquorice lock

You can break them with wrapped or striped candy or combine the wrapped and striped candy.

Liquorice

You have to hit this multiple times to destroy it.

Pancake

Make a move next to it and it is removed.

This pancake consists of several layers and needs to be hit a number of times before it is removed.

Cupcake

A 2 layer cupcake. Hit it twice and you’ve destroyed it.

This cupcake consists of several layers and needs to be hit 5 times before it is destroyed.

Jellycake

This is a blocker but it is also a kind of booster. Hit the jellycake 8 times and it explodes and hits all the blockers and candies on the board.

It is also important to know that boosters and gold bars are not just replenished. For this you have events and features to win them.

How can you win gold bars

Episode Race

An episode consists of 15 levels. You compete with 4 others to reach the end of an episode as quickly as possible. If you finish 1st you win 5 gold bars, number 2 wins 3 gold bars and number 3 wins 1 gold bar. If you end up as number 4 or 5, you will receive nothing 😕

Events 

Sometimes there are events where you can win gold bars and/or boosters.

How can you win boosters 

Mr. Toffee’s Fair aka 4 in a Row

There are 2 others to play with to create a horizontal or vertical line of quests. Of course you can also do it alone. You can make 2 moves per day. Once you made a horizontal or vertical line you can win a booster or timed booster or unlimited lives.

Teams aka Soda squad

If you have Teams you can earn points together with others, in your team, by completing levels. Every time you reach a goal in Teams, you will receive a (timed) booster.

Kimmy’s Arcade 

When you enter Kimmy's Arcade, you will be given 3 cards to play. Note that the levels do get harder as you progress. When you lose a level, you can continue by spending  gold bars or give up, but giving up will lose all of the rewards you have received. Once you see that you have cards that would not allow you to progress to the next level, you can choose to stop and collect your booster rewards.

The Noble and Royal Path 

Clear levels and points will be added to this feature. Depending on the number of stars you have achieved, you will progress further on the Noble and Royal Path. The further you climb up the ladder, the more prizes you get. The Noble Path are free rewards that you can claim. Please note, you can only claim those prizes that you have unlocked! If you want bigger rewards, you can buy the Royal Path. However, here too, you will only receive those prizes for which you have unlocked the locks! Sometimes you can find gold bars or energy as a prize 🙂

Bear Brawl

This is an event and you can enter it by energy, which you can collect in different events. You compete against 1 opponent to reach the goal as quickly as possible. You can win boosters and/or gold bars. Once you enter the Champions Arena you will race against other players to rank up on the leaderboard and get more rewards.

BubbleGum Hill

This is an event and only available for a limited time. You can enter by energy, which you can collect in different events. You have to finish some levels and can win the throne. Your rewards are boosters and after you are dethroned you will receive gold bars.

Energy 

Some features require energy to play. This applies e.g. for Bear Brawl and BubbleGum Hill. The energy replenishes itself but this usually takes a long time. It can be topped up to a maximum of 100! Energy can also be won as a prize in the Noble and Royal Path. The Energy that eventually exceeds 100 will be used up first. This means that when the Energy replenishes itself, it will never exceed 100!
