Wow, I'm surprised popcap is the one saying this.
But whatever they say, I still consider candy crush saga a clone of bejeweled. And screw King for doing what they're doing with the names, "candy" and "saga."

Other than being both puzzle game Candy Crush is nothing like Bejeweled.

Maybe I have been playing something else because other than being candy and having stages they seem to be the exact same thing. The difference is Bejeweled is pretty basic with being a high score driven game while Candy Crush is very luck driven and requires you to wait a while to complete a level with different stages and goals.

Bejeweled= classic high score game
candy Crush= luck and time unless you use microtransactions.

I applaud King because that was a very good business move.

Amazing! Congrats for keeping the game alive and relevant for so long. This and Angry Birds defined casual mobile gaming.

The story of Candy Crush is kind of a sad one. Some other guy suffered pretty badly because King is bigger than he is.
