Uncle_Bob Level 3

Hello @AkumaXX ! I also finished with 1 attempt today, but… I started off with the 3 Friendly Fish, Friendly Charge, and Friendly Coloring Candy boosters, so I had a lot easier starting grid than you probably did. Keep on Crushing! i have heard a rumor that some versions of CCFS used in the Orient have an option to…

I suspect @carmenechevarria and @Tzvi_Marcu may have played the Day 6 level of Sunny Tales better than I did. Although I finished on my first try with 3 moves to spare, but… I started off with all three of the Friendly Fish, Friendly Charge, and Friendly Coloring Candy boosters, so I had a much better starting…

Well, I succeeded in completing Level 5 of Sunny Tales without having boosters or using lollipop hammers, but it was quite close and I only succeeded on my very last move! However, my score for Level 5 was quite low and I only received 2 stars for it! My partner failed on her first attempt and only completed Level 5 on her…

@ElenaVorona first, thank you for your information and viewpoint! About you point #2 concerning the player icons: Do you have BLANK icons for some of your team members? By “blank”, I mean does your team member roster has entries that look like this? I have 5 out of my 20 team members who have these blank icons, so often I…

@AkumaXX Not sure I understand you correctly: You suggest we will get Rachel, which is plausible, but do you also think that we will be re-playing exactly the same Levels and game grids for Weeks 2 and 3? My memory is that the levels were different as we changed helpers from week 1-2-3 in the past events of this type, but…

I completed Sunny Tales Day 4 level on the first try, but my Daily Award had just triggered a Friendly Coloring Candy booster, so it was far easier for me than for my partner, who failed twice but completed Level 4 with the +4 moves from watching the ad video. I really enjoy the intricacies of the multi-screen CCFS levels…

I agree, and that possibility of “trying-to-help-but-not-advancing-levels” is why I have been so reluctant to remove team members who do not advance levels. The fact that the icons listed on my team member roster do NOT always match the icons shown for the active team members on the 6 Team Task list, forces me to rely on…

@ElenaVorona I have had the same “team member progresses levels but I do NOT see them working on the DDS Team Tasks! I also thought thag different Time Zones could be part of the reason because I know some of the team is apparently in Europe and they seem to play in the mornings when I am still asleep, just like you sai.…

So far, I was able to complete the levels for Days 1 and 2 with moves to spare. But I failed on my first try on the Level for Day 3, and had to adjust my strategy to concentrate on the octopuses out on the “arms” to complete Level 3 on my second try, so I think Level 3 is a bit more difficult. But @Lola_Pop , so far these…

@DGenevieve Wow! Things get curiouser and curiouser! Huh, I had never even thought of doing retroactive changes to some levels like 1856 for SOME players but not for OTHERS! It seems to me that the complexity of programming in level changes that only take effect for a subset of users would be extra work for the…

@DGenevieve Coloring Candy + Color Bomb surely would do it! The few times I’ve managed that, it seemed to do 3-5 levels of destruction across the entire playing grid. Ok, I recall from this morning that there were Coloring Candies at the top and bottom, but how did you make the Color Bomb? Or did using the first Coloring…

@actipton80 Thank you because that is very important information! Obviously, any records we make about past levels are only good until the “Powers That Be” alter those past levels! And you say that they changed a 3-color level into a 4-color level, AND made structural changes to the playing field like those extra fish…

Today’s Daily Quests were a mix of the easy Quest of matching 180 Green candies, the medium Quest of creating 60 wrapped candies, and the difficult Quest of matching 400 purple candies with Odus: I think the most efficient way to complete these Quests is to check your records for a mult-screen level with Green Candies and…

Day 2 of Sunny Tales, attempt 1 was completed with 6 moves to spare (I had no boosters at that point and used no lollipop hammers): So far the Sunny Tales levels have not been too difficult. But I agree with @AkumaXX that if we do encounter difficult levels, one strategy is to wait for the end of the week when the 7th…

Thank you @ChickenGoujohn and all the Levels design team! I just missed the deadline for asking questions! Argh! But I read all the answers from the design team and that was GREAT information! I did have one question that is simple but not asked by anyone else: I note that the number of moves allowed for each level varies…

@DGenevieve I think this “double-play” for that Level 1 was a system error, but my partner also had to play Level 1 twice this morning even though she won both times (we are both using IPad s). In the end, we only got the 30-minutes of booster (not 30+30 minutes!), but the credit towards lollipop hammers might have been…

I also started the Sunny Tales event today, but right from the beginning I disagreed with the “recommended moves” algorithm: However, I actually had to play this Level 1 two times even though I won the first time. That was not a problem because with the 30-minute booster from the first completion, I was able to complete it…

I will try to help the memory of players in the Level 3000-Level 4000 range of CCFS by my summary records of the multi-screen levels, which I find very useful for matching LOTS of candies of a certain color for Daily Quests. To explain the notation: The number of screens that the level involves is written to the left…

@AkumaXX You are very observant! First, I strongly agree that the “Caramel Cup”, “Pop Rock”, Pink Liquorice-laced tiles(?), and “Mints” Daily Quests can be much more difficult, and I added those 4 special “candies” to my record form so I can at least attempt them, For those Daily Quests , there a a very few special levels…

If your Daily Quests require both that you match 1,000-1,400 candies of a specific color AND that you must make Color Bombs or Coloring Candies, then I think if is particularly important to find a multi-screen level that includes the required color but also has only 4 candy colors so that you have a better chance to make…
