Best Of

Hi @muksad Welcome to the Community 🤗 it's nice that you have joined us. It's 10 gold bars you need really for this level, have you got any. Even though there are 29 moves you are right, it's still not enough for this Legendary level. It's how king are doing things and sadly it doesn't get any better the further up your map you get.

If you do have 10 gold bars, play until you get 45 extra moves and a UFO, normally 4 times of playing the level. If you don't have any gold bars you would need strong boosters, possibly a Party booster and a UFO or two.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do and hope to hear from you again 😏

I am trying to figure out what the scam or cheat is. I had read about replaying levels that offer up lots of blue candies and I tested it. I said in my OP it did not work.

Then there's the possibility that one account is being played by multiple people on multiple devices.

There's also a possible hack if the app is doing client side validation. Being a cyber security professional of 35 years I am aware of an old well known hack of installing a proxy, whereby you're capturing the packet, and editing the data payload where the blue candy count is and altering the total count before sending on the packet. This is how people could buy TVs online for $1 before developers figured out their app design flaw.

There's probably other ways to hack the app too. Maybe I'll do some app checking/decompiling to see what I can figure out. Just for my own curiosity.

As for you analogies about fairness, I must be "Among the very best" at Candy Crush if I got this far, beat a lot of others to get here and my stats (win streaks) are better than most on the player board.

Also does not seem fair that those at the very end of the map are playing the same 80 levels over and over. They can get pretty good playing the same level multiple times.

Maybe King needs to make things fair for everyone by forking off to different maps for the All Star competition. Do a little programming to make that happen. Every one who wants to compete starts at Level 1 of each map for each qualifying round. If you make the first round you're invited to the next round and everyone in that round plays the same qualifying round map.

This is exactly the kind of response that keeps missing the point.Nobody here is arguing about “life not being fair” or comparing a mobile game to the Olympics or Harvard. That’s not even relevant to what people are actually experiencing in this tournament.The issue being raised is very clear:Players are seeing score jumps that do not match the number of levels played  even when multipliers are considered.If someone plays 30–60 levels and somehow jumps thousands of points ahead of players grinding hundreds of levels, that’s not about “strategy” or “saving tokens.” That’s a mismatch in how the scoring is working, and people have every right to question it.Also, saying “everyone got the same multipliers” doesn’t automatically make the system fair. Fairness isn’t just about giving the same tools  it’s about how those tools function in practice and whether the results make sense.And dismissing people’s concerns by telling them to “get a grip” or blaming “Google or ChatGPT” doesn’t change the fact that multiple players are reporting the same inconsistencies.At the end of the day, this isn’t about complaining  it’s about asking for transparency and a system that actually reflects what players are putting into the game.If everything is truly fair, then there should be no issue explaining how these scoring gaps are happening.

You’re not alone in this, a lot of us are seeing the same thing, and it’s honestly frustrating.

What you described doesn’t add up. When someone plays significantly fewer levels but somehow jumps thousands of points ahead, even while others are grinding consistently, it raises valid questions. That’s not about being a “better player” it’s about whether the system is actually working the way it should.

At the end of the day, people are putting in real time, effort, and even money into this tournament. The least that should be expected is a system that is transparent and makes sense.

No one is asking for special treatment, just fairness and clarity

Idem este torneo me Dio a Conocer la triste

realidad esto no se trataba de quien sabe y juega mejor esto se trataba de inversiones tengo 20 años jugando a esto y no es posible ver como el competidor que ganó la 6ta Ronda estaba en el mismo rango de nivel que yo y el si hizo 300mil caramelos he jugado los mismos niveles que el en esta ronda y me daban 50 una cosa así es que no es normal para nada ni porque haya tenido los 6multiplicadores en fin muy triste y decepcionada porque esto no iba de conocimiento.

Is there any information on whether we have 10 groups of 100 each like last year in the final round?

The problem is my lead was 5000 points, which is just 500 blues with a token. Someone could play it at the very end and slip the points in before you can react.

And here are the results

It’s over… I lost to a player who had been cheating since the very first day. He played for 4 days without stopping. He passed more than 2,500 levels without losing.

He was reported several times and even so, King showed no interest.

I didn’t give up and did the best I could. I’m sure that with my score I would have advanced in 99% of the groups.

UNFORTUNATELY, I PLAYED AGAINST A CHEATER FOR 4 DAYS.

I entered round 5 with 25.5 hours left. You are correct - some of my opponents had been crushing for a day already, and one of them had 42,000 blue candies. However, he/she was spent and didn't go much further. I crushed for 24 hours straight. But a dark horse came up in the last 5 hours and gave me a run for my money. I ended up with over 100,000 and won the heat, but I had to use 3 of the six special multipliers. So I have 3 left How did you do?
