Valentine Cake Finals analysis
We are only halfway through the event but I can already draw my conclusions: We are playing a bespoke leaderboard with others who are not seeing us in their games Beware of when to play your multiplier tokens When you join makes little difference: the way the game allocates other players now means that "CEES" is as good as…

Pointless Animations and their effect on All Stars
@QueenB Here comes a plea about the amount of animations between levels and between episodes currently in our games. Many of the animations can no longer be skipped through, like this one which in my iPhone game comes first: This is the most annoying of them all to me.

New feature: Sweet Choice..... What????
Update Feb 2026: This feature is very basic: It picks levels apparently at random and gives levels a harder label by removing a few moves. If you pick the harder version you gain some timed rewards after passing, even if you retry the level several times. Removing moves makes some levels slightly harder to pass, but other…
