If you were like me, I mean super busy with almost no time to have fun except for the few or more minuets you spend on candy crush every day. but still, you have this feeling of guilt being candy crush addict!! Let me free your conscience with my ten reasons to play candy crush with free conscience.

1- It’s Free.

Despite the fact that candy crush makes $633,000 every day, which results in more than 230 million$ every year, yet this app is free, not just that but according to Wikipedia 97.7% of those playing the game do so for free, while only 2.3% pay to purchasing extra moves, and lives. don’t worry though, 70% of Candy Crush players who had reached the last level of the game hadn't spent a penny.

2- It’s not just you.

There are more than half billion candy crush player around the world which estimated to 0.07% of the world's population, which make you nothing but one of the 93 M daily Candy Crush Saga players, after all this game is the people’s choice.

3- +18.

Based on a true experience candy crush is a children unfriendly game, I don't know why but every child I know, and I know many (I have 9 nephews and nieces plus the so many neighbor’s and friend’s kids) and I'm the cool aunt so I usually let them play with my phone but every time I give them my phone they will complain about me not having any game other than this silly game -as they say- and they would prefer to go checking Snapchat new filters instead. Think am exaggerating go ahead give a child a candy crush to play and see how easily they get bored. why it’s a good reason! if you have a Kidophonophobia (the fear of kids damaging your phone) you will know why, and trust me on this, we all have it.

4- A multi-task game, all you need is one hand.

The other day I took a cap to work, the driver was playing candy crush while he was driving, I was freaking out in the back seat and told him to put the phone down. This by any mean is not to suggest that it's okay to play while you drive, but it brings me to my forth reason, you can do a lot of things while playing candy crush. like, you can pretend that you are actually working when you at work, you can play while waiting for the elevator, cooking, watching TV, or having a bath-top. after all, all you need is one hand.

Now seriously, DON NOT PLAY CANDY CRUSH while driving or when you are passing the street, you don’t want to be the one crushed.

5- It is simple

Candy crush is the simplest game, there are no wrong moves there is no over thinking and no hard instructions. Just line up three candies or more and they explode, causing more candies to cascade from the top. In some level you have to chase one color or get rid of blokes. Overall, even the hardest levels can be easily based using the extra help the game offers (the lollipop, the switching hand, the Coconut wheel, etc.)If you play candy you know what I’m talking about if you don’t please don’t take this the wrong way.

6- Stress relieving game.

When I go through hard times, like when my mom discovered Facebook (don’t miss my upcoming article ten reasons not to add your mom on Facebook) I try my best to escape the situation, lately candy crush became my sanctuary. I noticed that every time I play candy crush the stress goes away. it’s even better than meditation. the last time I went on a meditation trip I spent the time playing candy crush that the girl beside me told the master (I call him Krishna which means nothing except it make me sound authentic) to use candle and not flash lights (they didn’t it was the light from my phone) so if you feel stressful and preoccupied play candy crush it is the best stress reliever app.

7- Cure Insomnia

It’s not just stress, candy crush can get you through, but it also can help you to sleep, so stop counting sheep and start playing candy crush instead. If you slept then it worked if you didn't, at least you (probably) won some new levels.

8- Stay connected.

Remember when I told you that there are more than half billion candy crush players around the world! will, guess what?1 your boss, your favorite actor, your best teacher, your Idol, your high school crush, and your hot lunch lady, might be one of them. And every candy crush player knows that at some point they will be begging for tickets or for extra lives, guess what!! If you are an openly candy crush player it will be you who they will be begging. Don’t dare to underestimate the power of the game, I know people who offered me a kidney for an extra life (if you happen to know someone looking for a Kidney let me know, I can’t keep it in the refrigerator for ever ).

9- You can always complete from where you left.

Like every addict, you will try to get rid of your addiction, you will follow the 12 steps and you will abstain from playing, sometime for a week, or a month and sometime forever (which I doubt) but what is great about candy crush is that you never loss your place, if you quit playing and uninstall the app, you will not have to start over, all you have to do is to complete from where you left. Why this is great?? Can’t you see! It gives you the strength to quit. For example, when I was studding for my master degree, I removed most of the apps on my phone, I closed both my twitter and my Facebook accounts, but the hardest part was removing the candy crush app, because I was afraid that the more than 1000 level I reached will be thrown away for nothing -except for getting my master degree- fortunately, I knew that they will be kept, all I need is to reinstall the app again and I will be connected to my account, and complete from where I left. This brings me to another advantage, which is that, if used another phone to play, or if you played on any other device like computer or iPad, If it was connected to internet, the new levels you reached will be saved, so when you return to play on your regular phone you will find that you don’t have to win the same levels again, simply continue from the last place you have reached.

10- Get over things and people.

When you play candy crush you don’t think, your whole world become the tiny colored candy you need to crush, no wars you have to worry about, no climate change nightmares, no trump or Hillary, no stoking your ex Facebook statues, no waiting for reply, when you play candy crush your waiting hours turns into minutes and life pass by, and sometime this is all you need.
