Windows 8 Match 3 Puzzle Game: Sweets Mania Space Quest

Sweets Mania Space Quest is a free Windows 8 match 3 puzzle game in which the aim is to match three or more similar sweets together in a line by dragging them together. The gameplay principle is much like the popular Candy Crush Saga game, and the game is beautifully optimized for Windows 8 and 8.1. The game runs smoothly without draining much battery and has cute little alien creatures who will guide you in the game. In the game if you are able to match more than 3 sweets, you will be awarded special candies which can blow up entire lines or all candies of the same color with which they are grouped. These will only become available to you when you match four or more similar candies.
