Dont make people wait so long once they run out of lives. I get you want to make money and ‘force’ people to pay, but no other ‘great’ games do this to the extent that CC does. Lastly, if you’re going to make people pay, make sure they get what they’re supposed to. I’ve lost tons of money and not gotten any of the rewards…
I always start by collecting blue and then green bc it only takes 1-3 tries complete these goals. I’ll pick the lollipop hammer or hand swap next. If I don’t have either of these, I’ll pick orange. I end with either collecting striped candies or fish (depends on what level I’m at).
