Sugar Stars??

candycrushaddict1988

I did not start getting sugar stars till level 2347 and they only appear after I've gotten 3 stars and kept racking up points, which leades me to believe they are to show you have gotten well over 3 stars. I think the sugar stars are an interesting new add they may not give rewards , but they are another side goal to work on in order to make the game more challenging by not only passing the levels but achieving 3+ stars as well.

The idea of achieving the blue stars is in itself a nice feature however I do believe an award of some kind would compliment this - maybe a hidden bonus level???

Really dislike timed boosters 99% of the time their useless.  Just another way of King wanting you to spend money.   
You get nothing for the sugar stars.  No longer build your boosters

Sugar Stars just look pretty but give no award, just like the Golden Crown you receive for passing a level on your 1st try. They are pleasing to look at on your map! Hehe!

I’m still trying to determine if getting multiple sugar stars in an episode is of some reward? I’m not able to do it consistently yet. Since this is in testing—perhaps the idea is to do that in the future—give rewards for various collected amounts. I was so excited the first few times I hit the stars but the excitement has quickly waned now that I realize that nothing happens.

You are right. Getting harder and harder to get and save boosters.  King just wants you to spend money.  Sad not enjoyable any more.  I’m on level 4675. Need boosters.

RE: "Sugar Stars are a new mastery tier coming up after your regular 3 stars. It's a sign of your amazing sugar crushing skills!"  From Jelly Jenny
You know, when people work, they expect a paycheck at the end of the work period.  They'd be pretty stupid to settle for an "Atta Boy" or a pat on the back.  
When we invest time in a game, we anticipate some advance in our point count or in this case, a booster of some sort when we pass a level.  To have 3 sparkly stars appear means nothing unless there is some other value that improves our score or advances our play in some way.  These stars have the same value as the golden crowns for passing a level on the first trial--0.

I think the stinginess of boosters over the last year may signal a decline in designers' ability to create new levels or something...otherwise, why not restore the space ships, which over 5 trials yields a good batch of boosters.

The lack of earning boosters makes this less interesting 
the timed boosters suck as most of the time they don’t apply to the game your playing. 
Having to pay for gold bars you’ve earned is wrong. 
I guess King isn’t making enough money.
