Hi. I'm at level 1401 now. And I have questions.

Why are these levels harder than they have to be? I made this account, after hesitating for months, and now I am very annoyed. I view these levels as puzzles to be solved. Or Rubik's cubes. Why do these levels have to be harder than they have to be? I can't be expected to completed challenges with over 100 gels to beat or 50 and give me less than 15 moves? That's just one. Others are so complicated I have to go through phases to complete them but I can't do that with only 10 moves. I get boosters and they help but when I'm expected to use my gold to get boosters till I'm broke, I have to depend on my mind to beat that level without boosters and only 10-15 moves. Not possible. It's like I'm expected to fail, get ads, buy boosters, exhaust my gold and then play again. Why are these levels harder than they have to be? This game is therapy, something to chill playing, but it feels like I'm doing work, or playing eSports for no money or returns. I can take days to finish some levels, yet I have other things to do with my life. Some of these levels are made harder than they have to be. Lastly, get rid of those bombs. Please. Bombs are annoying. I get so far, make the right possible combinations and patterns and boosters are set just right then boom! "28 moves left but sorry, bomb's exploded. You have to do that all over again!" Bombs aren't fun. Please, get rid of them. I'm so close to rage quitting this game and just deleting it because I downloaded it to chill, relax and play. Yet I feel like I'm doing work I'm not getting paid for. I'm actually tired because I've been playing it the past hour and I'm pissed.

Hi @mchl_morris444444 please do delete this game because it is not what you think it should be and this is making you angry.

Candy Crush is NOT a puzzle game. The levels are set by an algorithm which changes each time a player attempts the level. This algorithm is pre determined by the King developers. The candies do not drop in a random manner. You are set up to either fail or set up to win, or set up to win only if you use a booster, changing each time you play and King control which it will be. The game is not suitable to chill and relax either. If you want to use your brain and solve puzzles, find a different app. If you want to chill and relax, find a different app. Happy Christmas!

Thank you. I'll take a screenshot of it once I get back to it. The algorithm changes each time a player attempts the level?

The level changes each time you attempt it, that's what I meant. Sometimes it's easy to pass, sometimes it can't be passed at all. So it's not like a Rubiks cube, where there is a set way to complete the puzzle. You can work it out in your head or (like me , back in 1981) read an instruction manual on how to complete it. This can't be done in Candy Crush because there is no set way, the levels are different each time you play them. We used to suggest players check out the videos on YouTube to help pass a difficult level, but I find that is no longer much use since those videos had candies drop which helped them a lot and that is not what players get anymore in December 2023.

Then I'm putting too much thought into some levels. If I had known it was based on an algorithm, maybe I wouldn't have beaten myself up so much to keep trying. You're someone I'd listen to. Levels are different each time I play them 🤔. I've been seeing this all wrong.
