Candy Crush Fanon is a website that catalogues fan-made versions of Candy Crush Saga, some of which are playable via Level Editor, while some aren't, due to using fan-made elements. The website can be found here
.
Tropes:
- Adaptation Expansion: The fanon games heavily expand upon canon by including canonical blockers with more layers (i.e. 6-layered frosting), more types of orders, more level types as a whole, elements from the sequels interspersed with elements from the original game (i.e. soda, jam, white chocolate and honey appearing alongside icing, regular chocolate, and marmalade), and entirely fanmade elements inspired by both Candy Crush and other similar Match Three Games.
- Added Alliterative Appeal: Much like in the original game, many episodes have alliterative names. Some fanons only use alliterative names for their episodes.
- Dead Fic: Some fanons have been dormant for years with no sign of the creator coming back and continuing it. One notable example is CC071, which released episodes frequently until Spring 2017, before going dark and remaining unfinished.
- Healing Factor: Some blockers (such as cupcakes and pancakes) regenerate layers at the end of a move if the player failed to damage them on that move.
- Level Editor: Levels that exclusively use elements that can be found in the original game can be played by using one.
- Lilypad Platform: The scrapped "frog levels" from the original game can be found in some fanons and feature this in them. The goal is to get the frog to one of these without it eating any candy.
- Poison Mushroom:
- The objective in "anti-order levels" is to avoid collecting certain colours, or else you will lose the level.
- In "frog levels", every candy becomes this, since if the frog eats any candy, the level is failed.
- The skull candy in "Unfair Candy Crush Saga". Making three adjacent matches next to it causes an instant Game Over. Fortunately, it only counts if the player makes a direct adjacent match themselves, adjacent matches caused by cascades won't affect the skull.
- Takes One to Kill One: Certain fanon elements have colours that match the candies that spawn in the level, and they can only be damaged by candies of the same colour.
