The Art And Science Of The Relaxing Game

SativaGummi

These games ae unusual, in that they are SO pleasant and soothing to play that one really doesn't get upset, if the outcome is not ideal. The fact that there is no clock for the game, itself, makes it so that there's not of THAT sort of pressure, either. It's mainly the graphics and soundtrack that achieve this, just making it a very peaceful habitat. There's not much cumulative pressure, as well, in that even if you go through a rough patch, when you can't seem to get past a given level. somehow, the next day, everything inexplicably starts going your way. This is very good design for an addictive, but calming game. I'm kind of glad that King doesn't have TOO MANY games . . . because I wouldn't do anything else!

Hi@SativaGummi that was a very nice post, what level are you on. Most of us complain that it is no longer peaceful and satisfying like the old days. Mainly because King keep changing levels making them impossible to pass without extra moves (gold bars) and or boosters. Also adverts crash shutting the game.

I just passed Level 500 on Candy Crush. I only started playing a month or two ago. I realize that they will keep ratcheting up the difficulty, or else we just have all this fun for free . . . and they would make no money.

Good luck@SativaGummi really hope you keep enjoying the game and keep playing.
