Late Review“Candylands Journey is a fitting follow-up to the delightful Farlands Journey and I downright adore both of these super-fun retro-inspired indies. 🍬”

Launch Window“Candylands Journey is an enjoyable, laid-back platformer game with an upbeat soundtrack and great visuals inspired by ‘90s games. However, its overwhelming level design adds additional obstacles for players in this short timed adventure. Still, for those with a sweet tooth for nostalgia, it’s a treat worth unwrapping.”
