No longer able to exit an unstarted board without losing lives - Information and feedback

Kvast

I'll remove the shortcut to the app on my phone's home screen and give it a few weeks in the cryo chamber.  If the option for reshuffling the board won't come back in that time I delete the game.

But hey.  It's a fantastic game even with the awful change today.  Absolutely brilliant!  Kudos to King for that.

I also have joined today to comment on the new fix. Totally disgusted with this I will no longer be playing after 7 years of commitment

Has anyone noticed that the new update prohibits you from leaving the level (even though you haven’t made a move yet) without loosing a life 😢 this sucks

I've been playing forever.  I've completed all the levels, and wait patiently each week for the new batch.  In the meantime, I go back and play lower levels, with an eye to getting three stars or getting the diamond stars or whatever they're called.  And, yes, it also lets me accumulate some hammers (you already nerfed collecting boosters in favor of timed boosts on the sugar drops).  

Of course, this means I have to manually scroll back through 6000 levels.

But, rather than give us the ability to jump to lower levels (or, once there, to stay there - the game likes to pop me back to the top), you now nerf a "bug" that's been around forever.  

Do you *want* to chase your regular players away?  Because this is how.

Yup - Worst upgrade idea ever.

I wonder if they’d change this if we’re vocal about it? I really can’t stand it

Hi again, @Pounawea !

Instead of asking us to Spread This Camouflage Fix and help players understand,
why don't you help us relay our message to  King Games and the Team? 
Please make them understand the members outrage here in this Community.
This is supposed to be the Season of Joy, Love and Giving!
Please tell them not to dampen anyone's spirit
this Holiday Season or any season of the year!
Please don't fix anything that is not broken!

Even Tiffi is angry with this radical change.

Yep. This will definitely cut down on me playing.

Same, such an unnecessary and boring feature to add tbh
