There is actually a really great match 3 game for iOS and Android which allows unlimited movement of game pieces as long as it's within 5 seconds. It completely changes the game dynamic and the kind of challenge presented as one has to make as many matches as possible in one move, which is easier said than done on a 5x6 board! If you want to try it out, search for Doctor Who: Legacy in the app store or Android equivalent. Even if you don't watch or like Doctor Who, the game itself is brilliant! However, I don't think that that's the kind of thing that should be enabled in Candy Crush because it does really change the game. It would also remove the challenge created by trying to create cascades by carefully positioning candies where they work best for matches.
