This game is getting increasingly boring, but it has it's addictive qualities, so like many I like to pick up my device and play CC when I have nothing much to do. It's a hard habit to break. There is little point now playing the upper levels that are set up to block us and make players part with their money by frustrating us out of our wits. I don't have the patience for that.
Having found the lower levels of the game much more fun and relaxing, I keep starting new games, all of which I have found surprisingly different. Some games I get many more lucky boards on my first try than others. Some games I get blocked by level 225 (now the first legendary level) some I get blocked by level 240 or 255. After level 260 it usually gets easier when the bubble gum appears. ( Who doesn't love bubble gum!?)
I have last week recreated my Sunflower login to see how far I can get without spending any gold and just using my boosters given to me in game (fewer now, so having to use them wisely). This is what I got to so far since last Monday. I won the weekly race of course with a score of over 200. Ten episode races and 500 gold is a nice place to end this experiment and start a new one for the new week. (I'll save Sunflower to play on at a later date)
Anyone else want to join the research? @MonicaYellow maybe? I will make a note which levels start off with an obvious lucky board and which levels I cannot beat on my first try only using win streak boosters, and how long it takes to beat the first legendary level 225. Sunflower passed this only on the third attempt with starting and win streak boosters.
Let's keep crushing and learn how the game works. My guess remains that we all play a different game, right from the start. Hope to find some evidence.
