Because of sugar drop, I completed the level 4775 without spending money. Now I lost the sugar drop, I have lost confidence to pass anymore.Unless I am willing to pay for boosters.
I never paid anything since Level 1 which is the nice 👍 thing about Candy Crush. I am now on Level 4141. Since the beginning, King has not obliged anyone to pay to play.
I've spent about $6 and I believe it was to get more time on timed levels. I won't spend anymore due to finding out we all have different versions of the game and the price increase with reduction of gold in piggy bank.
