Block Candy Crush.
Keep your progress.

Candy Crush is easy to underestimate because each level is small. You open it for one level, one life refill, one booster, or one event reward. Then the next level is already there, and the next failure feels like something you can fix if you try once more.

The scale is enormous. King says its games are played by more than 200 million monthly active users. Microsoft Advertising reported Candy Crush Saga players average 28 sessions per week and 4.3 hours per week in the game.

Fella blocks the loop without deleting your progress. Keep your levels, boosters, gold bars, purchases, account, and streaks. Fella just keeps the app locked by default, with one 5-minute emergency unlock per session for something specific.

Lives make waiting part of the game. When lives run low, the game creates a natural reason to return later. You are not just bored; you are checking whether the next attempt is available.

Episode Race rewards speed. King's Help Center describes Episode Race as a competition where you race through levels against other players, with faster progress improving your chance of winning boosters and gold bars. That turns "one level" into "keep going while I am ahead."

Boosters make sunk cost feel real. When you use a booster, extra moves, gold bars, or a timed bonus, stopping can feel wasteful even if you already played longer than planned.

Events keep the map alive. Candy Crush has events, side quests, races, rewards, and seasonal hooks layered on top of the normal level path. There is almost always another small thing to claim or finish.

The one-level break. You open Candy Crush between tasks, but one level becomes three because each attempt feels short.

The stuck-level loop. A hard level turns into repeated attempts because the next try might be the one that clears it.

The reward check. You open for lives, boosters, gold bars, Episode Race, or an event and end up playing because the app is already open.

The bedtime puzzle. Candy Crush feels lower intensity than social media, so it is easy to justify in bed. The problem is losing the time you meant to sleep.

1. Add Candy Crush to your blocked apps. Choose it during setup, along with any other games or apps that pull you into quick loops. If you are still choosing a tool, see our free tools for blocking distracting apps.

2. Keep it locked by default. Fella is not a reminder to play less later. The app simply stays blocked.

3. Use one 5-minute emergency unlock per session when needed. Your one 5-minute emergency unlock per session is enough to check something specific, not enough to settle into a long level session.

4. Let Fella lock Candy Crush again. When the unlock ends, Candy Crush closes back down automatically. No second decision required.

King's own settings cover notifications and account preferences, not usage. There's no in-game reminder after a set number of levels and nothing that closes the app for you between attempts.

Screen Time is the only native lever, with the same Ignore Limit bypass every App Limit carries, one tap and the "just one more level" impulse wins. Fella's one 5-minute emergency unlock per session has no equivalent override once it's used.

Players who lose time to small sessions. If the problem is not one huge binge but many small opens, Candy Crush is exactly the kind of app Fella is built to block.

Players who want to keep progress without constant access. You can keep the account and progress without letting the app sit open in every idle moment.

Players who already tried deleting and reinstalling. If deletion becomes a cycle, blocking is cleaner: your progress stays, but the habit has a wall.
