    Hi @Spinnifix

    I'm quite a newbie when it comes to the Candy games and am only just getting used to what all of these things do. I find the fish both helpful and an annoyance, especially since,as you say, you can't direct them at specific targets. I tend to waste my boosters in trying to complete tasks only for the fish to change the course of my game. On some occasions, I am pleasantly surprised when they actually go where I would like them to!

    @Spinnifix @channie8 @me6412 that with the fish is such a thing. I play a lot of candy games and have also noticed that the fish don't always do what is helpful for the player.  

    In principle, they are trained to eat jelly. Instead, they very often destroy my combinations, which I want to build up. 

    In candy crush it happened to me only last week that I had only one jelly left and had activated a fish to pick it up. It was my last move and what does the fish do? He collects a liquorice snake. I had to invest 10 GB to complete the level. 

    In Soda, only yesterday I had the problem that the triggered fish went on a candy and caused it to explode. But I wanted to do another station wagon with it, which was then no longer possible. 

    And in Jelly (it was a level with Monklings) the fish didn't behave as I expected. I wanted the fish there to either dissolve the fishnets or destroy cupcakes. But they went for some candy and this action didn't help me at all. 

    I currently only have one game where the fish do really meaningful things (in Friends). 

    That is why I would like the player to have the opportunity to send the fish to where it helps him. Unfortunately, this is not possible. 

    I would be helped if I knew a list of priorities. So what do fish do first, what after, etc. Example: Fish eat jelly first. If there is no jelly, they go on blockers. Blockers can be the fishing nets in Jelly (available only there) or cupcakes or liquorice blockers etc. 

    In summary: yes, I am often upset about the activity of the fish because I cannot control them. I am very upset when they destroy my combinations for no reason and I have to use boosters. I find it quite stupid when they eat liquorice instead of jelly and I lose the level as a result. 

    So I want to be able to tell a fish where I need it most. Unfortunately, this is not possible. From experience with the fish, I often think about whether I'm going to feed the fish (where I don't know what it's going to do) or use a booster.

    I have no trouble with the fish at all. There were many issues with them in the past and one of the games had an idea "flying fish" where they asked for a fix. The fix was done so I don't have issues with it. My issues with the candy crush game are the color bombs that explode on their own. I haven't set it up for a fix because I don't play the games nearly as much as I used to play them.

    I'm always thinking about whether to take the fish to end the game or take the risk. I often took risks and then started over. Instead of removing the candy at the top, the fish goes into the game at the bottom and takes away the liquorice. It's often in candy soda when you're supposed to get the bears off the chain. That is where it is worst. I'm sure the soda players agree with me!

    @me6412

    I think @channie8 is just playing jelly. I play all 4 players and 3 of them are my favorites and that's why I have the comparisons.

    @Spinnifix

    No chickie, they are in other games I've played, just not Farm LOL

    Yes there are a couple of board types in Soda I've noticed that are more difficult.

    As you mention, getting the Bears to cross the Candy Strings and all blockers are removed but the liquorice Swirls just keep dropping. Naturally the fish will keep going for the swirls instead of the Candy under the Bear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Sometimes the fishes helped and sometimes it didn't. My game life must go on. Hehehe

    Thanks for the tag @Diamond Lim

    I can see where you are coming from as the fish do tend to get a bit annoying, especially as you do sometimes finding yourself hoping they crush one of the candies you are needing rid of, but I find that most times they do crush the candy that is in your way. Most of mine tend to go towards boosters that are actually quite helpful to my game but there are one or two occasions where they go towards a candy that I was planning on matching in my next turn.

    Can I ask if you'd go into more detail about this training scheme for the fish? How would we go about training them? Is there certain levels and perks for each training session you do with them?

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
