Yes Chef! is a new Halfbrick-published puzzle game which they’ve soft-launched on to the New Zealand App Store. Developed by CitrusJoy, and initially revealed as Puzzle Chef Tale, this is a match-3 game similar to Candy Crush Saga where players have a limited number of moves to match up vegetables, trying to get a certain minimum number of points. Cash and coins are earned, which can be used to buy boosts, earn upgrades, and get more energy.
This is the second game that Halfbrick currently has in soft-launch: there’s also Bears vs. Art which remains on the New Zealand App Store, and uses some similar King-esque tricks with energy systems and the level-based progression. While Halfbrick has always been a casual-friendly company, they appear to be taking some more cues from King’s hit games in terms of what their future on mobile will be. Our forums are talking about this one, though not necessarily in the kindest of terms.
the original was a one trick wonder there is not much you can do with a sequel. Look at POP CAP Jewel game that was a mega hit that soon died a death
Yay Carter! Great to see a TouchArcade article with your name on it :) Here's to many more in the future....that have nothing to do with Candy Crush or its sequels.
Just deleted all their games. King games not really playable for me as I like long play times
I'm usually happy about King stuff, but I'm not so fond of a Candy Crush sequel. Bubble Witch 2 made perfect sense, because the first game didn't look modern (it was actually creepy), and it wasn't making a ton of money, which allowed room for a follow-up. But Candy Crush Saga is still doing excellent, and Candy Crush Soda Saga (which sounds stupid) is not going to have anywhere near the same level of success. However, Farm Heroes Saga is doing very well and it's very similar to CCS, so who knows? I'm gonna definitely download the game because I don't want to judge too early, but right now, I'm not so pumped.
Whoops, not on iOS yet. Anyway, I was reading another article from a competing site, and it said that the purple soda at the bottom makes the candies float upward instead of dropping down. That'll make for some interesting gameplay. Otherwise, it seems pretty much the same, with very different shaped candies for some reason. So I'll try it when it soft launches on iOS, bye for now,
I call patent on "soda"! :-p
Fed up with Candy Crash Saga, deleted on my iphone 5 and didn't want to see another king games on my device !
Prefer for sure pearls like Darkin !
I, hate the kings games as well. cause all the games I play on my android locks up or freezes. Google play needs to fix there system. They have for their app store!
oh no
Soda sucks!
Does this mean they will try to trademark 'soda' too?
Will it earn millions off the inevitable cross promotion the original will spam to your notifications feed or show that the original Masocore match 3 was a fluke of popular zeitgeist and kings multibillion ipo valuation makes zyngas ipo look like a great offering? Decisions, decisions...
King sucks I am unable to connect to facebook I have sent numerous e mails to them only for their crappy support team to e mail me back telling me they will get back to me in two days ya right. Does anyone out there have a solution for me I really don't want to delete the game but I am getting really close to doing it and finding some other company with games. Thanks for any help I can get.

t is not at all the same!,there are many diferent elements to this game..i love it way more than the "original",one of the elements is soda bottles that you have to pop...every block in the soda wants to float to the top everything above falls down,than you have the chocolade brown and white.the honey the frozen bears and the candy string...also the blocks dont always fall from above..they can move around corners too...you have also a special magic ball and fish are made by putting 4 same coloured blocks together in a square..it is way more interesting than the normal candy crush!
I am on level 45 of Candy crush Soda. Twice now I have completed this level and needed to request help from friends to move to level 46. Both times now, people have sent me moves to help me go forward and they do not register and the only level I can play is still level 45. Has anyone else had a problem moving past level 45. I am about ready to quit all of this games!
