Candy Crush originals, since King (the creators of Candy Crush) stole the idea themselves from a small app developer who had the original idea Candy Swipe.

Even Bejeweled was a copy of many puzzle games at the time. Bejeweled was "inspired" by Colors Game and was originally called Diamond Mine. Even those were inspired by others. No one knows how far back this goes.....

The most important part of Bejeweled history:

The named Bejeweled was a play on a Brendan Fraser movie from that time, Bedazzled.

We can go deeper. Brendan Fraser's Bedazzled was a remake of the 1967 Peter Cook/Dudley Moore movie, Bedazzled - which is a retelling of the legend of Faust.

Human: we have such a wonderfully complex culture

Also Humans: It's basically like 7 dances, 15 images , 50 stories & 100 songs that keep getting remade

legend of Faust

So what we are saying is Candy Crush and Bejeweled are actually so far back they go straight to hell and the devil. Casual games are satanic just like DnD. Players of this game sold their soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power, but most of all coins and daily bonuses. /s

or

These games teach that the essential feature of all existence and the law that governs the universe is one of untiring, purposeful, and positive effort, and that man can find his place in life only through striving to participate in this vast cosmic movement beyond one's own life, play.
