Hey everyone!
My name's John and I'm currently the
Lead Level Designer from the Candy Crush Friends Saga team here in our London studio!
Myself and the level design team work very hard to bring you new and exciting levels every single week - but
we're always looking to improve what we do and that's why I'm excited to be able to reach out to you all directly, here on our community forums!
We want your opinions on some specific topics, to
help us refine and improve the quality of the levels that you all see in the game.
We really care what you guys think and
would love to hear what you have to say. We think having a direct line of communication with our players is super-important and something we need to do more of, so here I am!
The plan will (hopefully) be for us to regularly reach out every 1-2 weeks with a specific topic related to level design and get some thoughts from you all so we can ensure you guys continue to love playing the game.
So for our first question:
We would love to hear how you feel about the length of our levels! Are they too long, too short, just perfect?
- How would you feel if levels were less than 20 moves?
- How would you feel if levels were more than 40 moves?
I really hope this is something that excites you all as much as it excites us! We can't wait to hear what you have to say, and for us to talk a lot more in the future.

11 · 7Helpful Woah! 4Sweet Love HahaI think 30 moves is the right amount for regular level. For hard or super hard levels, I think the levels should be longer or more complex as implied by the categories. Hence, a few more moves are justified.
I personally don't enjoy levels that have less than 20 moves (except for those with Easter Eggs for extra moves). It's too short and usually is over before I know it. It makes the whole playing experience a bit less enjoyable.
Keep up the good work!

10 · 9Helpful Woah! 1Sweet Love HahaThanks for talking to players and community, First of all nice and pleased to meet you @ChickenGoujohn .
Thanks for developing such a wonderful and lovely 3D candy Crush Game for everyone . Also, I appreciate your work since making the game more great . Thanks to your whole Level Designer and Whole Developer Team.
I think Sometimes levels are super hard on normal levels that despite of having moves you can't complete them . For example, You have spread the jam level and you have choices of Yeti, Tiffi and Misty. Now In this level you have caramel blockers and you have to spread from one block (,which is in corner having a blocker) to whole board without having character of Odus or Nutcracker. So, in this place, it's hard to complete such level.
Rather Talking about superhard levels, 35 moves are Fine. For Hard Levels, 30 moves are fine . For Normal Levels, 25 moves are fine. If a level is multi boarded or has long board that our current screen can't fit the whole board (Top to bottom board) (mainly seen in dunk the cookies and fill the hearts levels) then At most 50 levels are fine.
Mr.John , I have an idea on the following link - please visit and tell about it, that will be my feedback to this discussion.

7 · 5Helpful Woah! 2Sweet Love HahaFirst of all, I will gonna congratulate you and your team for creating that amazing variety of levels every week.
I know how much hard you worked. I can see in every level that you put all your love and passion to create them and make a very special result for every player in CCFS.
Now about your question above, I will be glad to give you a answer and I hope to find it useful.
First of all, since I'm currently in level 561 and I saw and passed many levels in my way, I love how different every level is and especially the mechanics that you need to use in order to complete the level. For example, in 'Dunk the Cookie' Levels, I love that you have to break the blockers first in order cookies to fell into chocolate which is the most times in the bottom of panel. Seriously, I love how sweet and challenging those levels can be the most times, no matter if they are hard or not.
Now, about the length, I actually love short ones and I mean the ones who have only one small panel and that makes things easier for me.
But if you put it from the other side, short levels sometimes can have a small amount of moves which makes them very challenging.
And about the big levels or the ones with more than one panels in the level, those need more moves which makes them easy but not always though cause you might encounter something new in those levels for example... a new blocker and the player might needs some time to think how to remove it.
And about the move part in levels and since I played every kind of levels (from normal ones until the hardest ones and vice versa and if you count and the events too) , I would say this: In hard levels and super hard levels need 35-38 moves to be completed but sometimes, still it's not enough if you count the experience of the player in this game, the available characters and their abilities and if you play with stragety or with boosters only or you might just want to have fun.
The normal ones from the other side needs 25-28 moves but still it depends the factors that I explained in my previous sentence.
Well that's all. I hope I helped you and if you need something else, just ask me.
And also, I'm glad that I met you and keep up the good job.
I can't wait to see more designs of those new levels from you and your team!
Have a nice day!

4 · 4Helpful Woah! Sweet Love HahaI'm on 714 right now, as I am trying so hard to complete as many levels as I can. For levels with 20 moves or less, it feels like an easy challenge for me when I play on a small game board and difficult on a large or multi-panel board. I feel like I'm not going to make it with this many moves. But with the help of my friends, I can sure to succeed at some point.
For levels with 40 moves or more, I feel like winning so easily. No matter how big or small the level is or simple or complex it looks, I can easily think positive on what I'm about to do.
However, it may be unsatisfying for me to just win or lose every time. Not to mention the difficulty of each level; it can feel like a big turn-around when I'm playing at a constant rate for any level.
I might find it really boring if I have to replay the same level over and over again. I don't mind using boosters 'cause I have a lot (over 150), but as long as I think they should help me finish it. Between 30-35 moves will be perfect for normal levels and 35-40 for hard and super hard levels.
I love the work you and your team had put into. It really makes it worth a lot of playing if you ask me. My favorite levels are dunk the cookie levels as they are so satisfying to play and I get to play as my favorite character, the lovable Nutcracker!
Well I hope you and your team had done an amazing job creating these levels for us. They are a lot of hard work and I absolutely must thank you for making such a great game that all of us enjoy. Have a good day and keep working hard on those new levels for us 😊👍

3 · 3Helpful Woah! Sweet Love HahaI am currently on level 1931 which is a hard level, I really think it depends on the type of game for example dunk the cookies are very hard and free the hearts definitely need more moves for those two but having to many moves would make the games to easy I think the eggs are a wonderful edition to the game. I am using more boosters though but all in all the game is fantastic so addictive I play it all day keep up the great work and look forward to giving you more feedback 🐨🐕
