Candy Crush Saga: Get more lives

King.com Limited's Candy Crush Saga is kind of a big deal on both iOS and Android. It seems people just can't get enough candy, and we can't blame them, as we've also become hopelessly addicted to matching like-colored sweets and beating friends' high scores. That said, you need lives to play, and if you constantly run out, here are some tips to get more.

When you run out of lives...

Do nothing. You'll automatically gain a life every 30 minutes. Granted, this means you won't be able to play Candy Crush Saga for a little while, but this is without question a cost efficient method.
Buy more. You can purchase five lives for just $0.99.
Ask your friends. If you login using Facebook. You can send requests for more lives. Click the heart icon on the top left corner of the screen, then press the Ask Friends button. This will launch a Facebook pop-up that allows you to select people individually.
