Episode Race design changes: start and end screens!

Pounawea

Dear community,

We’d like to share with you news regarding the Episode Races in Candy Crush Saga. 

As you know, we are always trying to improve the game, and one of the many aspects of the game we are working on improving is the player experience with the game, making the navigation through the game & features better and comprehensible.

Thanks to all your feedback, we learned that many players find the Episode Races a bit difficult to understand the functionalites of Episode Races, such as:

• What is the objective of the Episode Races?
• When does a race start? When does it end?
• What are the rewards that I can win?

To address all of the questions above, we are giving the Episode Race feature a new fresh new look! We are going to be changing the ‘Start’ and ‘End screens’, as well as to the banner displayed on the Saga map!

Let me share with you some in-game images below:

Start Race + End Race + Banner on Saga Map: current look vs. New look!

 

The functionality is still the same: Try to finish an episode faster than your opponents and finish top 3 to win a sweet prize!

In the future, you might be able to win other or additional rewards and maybe even if you don't finish top 3 - stay tuned!

Now, remember to update your game to the latest version so you can see the new Episode Race designs in your game. ⚠️ Please note that we will be releasing these new designs slowly and not all players will see the changes at the same time. It might take a little while, but it will arrive to all Candy Crushers around the world!

 

We need your feedback, Candy Crushers!

👉 What do you think of the visual changes we are bringing? Share you opinion & feedback with us below!

 

Have a delicious day and happy Episode Racing!  🍬  🍬

Hi @Pounawea .

That looks very nice.

I am always welcoming changes as i believe that the change is permanent.

It is good. Thumbs up from me.😀👍

Hi @Pounawea and thanks for the update in giving the Episode Race/Fast Race a fresh look. Design is nice but not much impact on the game. Send my thanks to the design team, love their work!!!

I'm looking for changes in terms of boosters, rewards etc... ✌🏻😅

I was hoping for a map to be implemented in the game so we don't have to spend long time scrolling to replay old level esp when players need help on a particular level 🤭🤭🤭 sorry for the off-topic

Who cares. Graphics do nothing to the functionality of the game/allow players to win levels.

I'm just posting to voice my dissatisfaction with the new score system in levels. I see it began today. Levels that used to give major score boosts are no longer doing so, racking up points at a snail's pace; I assume it affects all levels though (I just tend to play the same levels all the time).

Take, for example, L1055. Before, it was easy to get over 2,000,000 points without doing anything. Now with the new system, I'm not even reaching 2,000,000! How are players expected to gain 3 stars, much less Sugar Stars? If this new score system is going to be permanent, King better change the star targets as well.

Way to go on sucking the fun out of the game even more. 🙄

Hi @Pounawea & @Diamond Lim thx for tag & info,

Well, one thing stands out. On the "Current Look", you could see where you are at in the race.

But, with the "New Look", no way to know where you are at in the race. Are you 1st, last, in the middle, etc...

Let's you know if you can leave the screen, to grab a bite to eat, or drink, or bathroom break, etc..

Not very informative, if that's what they are trying to do. You are in the dark on standings of the race. Pretty on the "New Look", but not enough info on "Standings During The Race".

Thx Origins7 Dale, 😀
