Today is the one year anniversary of the launch of King.com’s mobile version of Candy Crush Saga (Free), and the developers are announcing an incredible statistic: It has been downloaded over half a billion times. Candy Crush is without a doubt a worldwide hit, but to put that number into perspective, per 2013 estimates ever single person in North America would need to download the game for King.com to hit that mark.

Level 65 is regarded as the most notorious level for people to get stuck on, and the most popular time to play the game is between the hours of 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM with Sunday being the most active day of the week for Candy Crush players.
