Plot
TBA

Gameplay
Kandy Shop's main focus is to knockout as many players as possible similar to the Smash Bros style of game play. The game also features The Candy Combo Meter, which gradually builds up during any type of battle or boss battles.

The meter allows players to unleash unique combo moves in order to rack up damage towards others, or a finisher move which is used to K.O opponents when their damage at high percentage. Either move can be triggered depending on what button is pressed during gameplay however, if one is to be K.O'd with a full meter, the energy is drained and it cannot be used unless the player regains more energy when battling.

Modes
Arcade Mode is essentially the Single Player Mode of the game which takes inspiration from the Classic Mode of the Super Smash Bros Series. The mode begins with the "Sweet" difficulty setting and upon completion of it, the next level of difficulty is unlocked such as Salty, Bitter, Hot, Spicy and so on.

Each difficulty also contains a boss character, with the bosses either being defeated like a regular opponent or decreasing a health bar in order to defeat them. Upon completion of Arcade Mode (on any difficulty), the player is rewarded with a Fortune Cookie which may trigger a battle between an unlockable character or unlock a new stage.

Unlockable
There is a total of 15 unlockable characters within the game with each of them being obtained upon completion of modes or specific tasks.

Bosses
The game features a total of 6 bosses, with the addition of a 7th secret boss being fought upon completion of the 6 original difficulties with all fighters.

Fortune Cookie Cache

Reception
The game has yet to be rated, however it has received attention and praise due to the unique character cast and their designs, which led to increased hype for the game itself and growing love for the character cast.

Trivia

 * This is the very first collaborated game to be created and developed by game companies Enigmatik Games and Simple Studios.
 * With that being said, Enigmatik Games announced that they and Simple Studios would work on more upcoming titles in the near future.
 * The game's roster was originally set with 20-25 playable characters, however it was changed to 30 when Enigmatik took the job as lead character designer, thus creating all concepts for the 30 playable characters in a day.
 * The game was announced in the summer of 2015 titled "Project Kandy Shop" which gained a reasonable amount of attention towards others.
 * Simple Studios originally planned a mode titled "No Holds Barred" which would essentially be a version of VS Mode with blood and gore. The idea was scrapped by Enigmatik Games due to the mode not fitting within the game's universe and the fact that none of the characters are human.
