Algorithm change on Lollipop hammer?

emelanie

I’m sure that previously when I used the Lollipop Hammer to crush a piece of candy next to a loose piece of licorice that it would boom the licorice away as in normal play, but that doesn’t happen now.

Has the algorithm changed or am I wrong?

I’m also very disappointed at how the UFO is placing its random wrapped candy in useless places rather than areas that are blocked…but I guess you’re lucky or you’re not!

Thanks!

Welcome back to the King Community. 🥰

On the way to the licorice drop on the game board, if you break a licorice there can be another licorice drop to fill the space. Licorice drops are not the same on every level of game board so you can get some differences. However, we get three wrapped candies from a UFO, but we can't be sure where the wrapped candies will hit but at least one of the three wrapped candies will always be helpful.

Thank you.

The licorice drops this is happening with are the basic ones. They were isolated with surrounding candies on all sides (except for an ingredient above maybe…).

I didn’t know the UFO rule though—very interesting! 😃 Thanks 🙏🏻

Does the licorice have more than one layer? The hammer only blasts one layer, so if it’s multi layer it won’t remove it completely. Cheers :)

Just one layer.
