Which is not an objective in Candy Crush Friends Saga?
Free the octupuses.
Capture the hearts.

Question 3 of 10
How do some people avoid having to pay actual money to advance a level?

Question 5 of 10
What's the first thing you should take care of when playing the game?

The game actually hands out merit-based prizes for finishing the level in the least moves possible, as well as for having remaining candies. Such bonus points could result in a promotion from one star to three!
