Are you tired of reskinning the same old MATCH-3 source codes?

Do you want to leverage the awesome features of a game like Candy Crush Saga, but do not want to be a copycat?

Are you looking for a revolutionary MATCH-4 gameplay?

You are in good place! In this course you will get your hands on our latest source code "Anti Candy Crunch" and you will learn how to set it up and submit it to the App Store. In this course I will submit a reskin called Anti Cookie Crunch. Anti Cookie Crunch is already available on the App Store! Download it to take a look at what the source code can offer.

We wanted to create a game that will turn heads. While researching the market I've found that there are a LOT (some good, some bad) of MATCH-3 source codes.

What will make a bang is a new gameplay: Match 4 candies or more! Do not match 3!

This course takes you by hand and shows you how you can reskin and submit your very own version of Anti Candy Crunch to the App Store.

Features of the Anti Candy Crunch source code include:

• Revolutionary MATCH-4 gameplay

• Facebook Login

• Facebook App Invites

• Facebook Share

• 3 Virtual Currency Pack In-app Purchases - This is where you will make money

• No Ads In-app Purchase - This is where you will make money
