Candy Cobra has a fatal flaw in it and needs fixed ASAP.

JeffMakesGames

There is a fatal design flaw with Candy Cobra on levels where there are Swedish Fish present or levels where you can start the level with the Swedish Fish Booster.

If you make a special combo with Swedish Fish such as combining one with a Wrapped or Striped candy, there is a chance that the special fish will target the Candy Cobra. The result of this is that the Candy Cobra is absolutely destroyed and replaced with a Wrapped or Striped candy that then activates. The basket for the Candy Cobra remains on the board. No new tiles are created.

This can result in levels becoming impossible to complete, such as where you can't reach other parts of the game board, or ingredients become stuck and can't be moved to collectors.

That's another one to add to the list. The fish + booster already causes the game to freeze on sour skull levels if one hits a sour skull, and it can make order lock levels impossible too. And now it can also make candy cobra levels impossible.

Sadly King are too busy redesigning the appearance of the fish as opposed to fixing this flaw which has been present for the best part of a year now.

Avoiding the combo is definitely not the answer- King making sure that game works properly is the answer.

That is just encouraging bad game design though Ryan. A player shouldn't have to avoid a valid game move when playing just to avoid an error in the coding.

They have been busier than that @Michael-6. They have also redesigned the Sweet Cinema and modified the rewards of Sweet Crew. I honestly don't know how they manage with their immense workload. 😁

Hi @JeffMakesGames !

I spoke with the developers and they will look into this.

Thanks for reporting it!

I agree, but you could just avoid the combo in the first place

That's not the point; & whose side are you on, anyway?

The OP is bringing to the attention of everyone here a bug/error/fault/flaw/glitch (or anything else you want to call it) that needs to be remedied; & here's a similar issue on levels with sour skulls (shout out to @Michael-6 for that one), which is still present in the game (over 8 months later)...
