One in four adults suffer from some form of mental illness and one of the most common problems is not being able to cope with stress and anxiety, which can lead to more serious problems.
For the sake of these people (and I was one of them), please remove the gasps from the characters when there’s 5 moves or less, as these make already anxious people even more so and the feeling can last hours, or even days.
These games are somewhere to be able to take some time out of the stresses in life, so it’s disturbing for them to add to someone’s anxiety levels.
At the very least, please consider a wellness option so they can be muted if a user chooses (apart from a user having to mute all sounds, which reduces the fun of the game).
I would be interested in if King has a mental well-being policy or is being advised by a mental health professional.

Very interesting idea. I personally i play the game muted.
I was not aware of the gasps. Reading this thread i un-muted everything, I heard the gasps,
Then i looked for other sound options , So i play on my PC there is a gear on the bottom left hand corner click it. You have a few options from left to right
- Turn off the game
- Turn music on or off
- Turn on or off background noise
- Turn sound on or off (sound from the characters, clicking candies and the dude in the background saying sweet stuff to you when playing your game lol)
So i'm sure you were aware of those options being that you would like the full affect of the game without the gasps. So i can sympathies with you on the anxiety ive had anxiety for years it effects everyone differently man do i know. Good luck I'm not sure i helped at all. Keep crushing.Ill bump this vote up.

I voted for this with my whole heart ♥️ I would suggest you to try meditating and doing yoga. It helped me a lot. It might not help you but I am sure you will eventually find something to give you peace of mind. You are not alone! Take care 🤗
