Big Fish Games is launching its Cascade “match three” mobile game today as part of a quest to unseat the ubiquitous Candy Crush Saga.

The new smartphone and tablet free-to-play iOS game is aimed at “making everyone finally quit crushing candies,” according to Seattle-based Big Fish Games, which is clearly a little jealous at the success of King’s Candy Crush Saga, which generated 79 percent of King’s $1.8 billion in revenue in 2013. It has 40 hand-crafted puzzles to solve, and it has the same kind of gem-matching mechanic popularized in hits like Candy Crush Saga — but without “friend gates,” “pay walls” or anything else that leads you to spending money.
