Is this the "fix" to the bomb glitch???

Hi, as I'm playing a new episode this morning I can't help noticing that all the bomb levels have changed to 99 on all the bombs! Here a level that was posted about recently, when the bombs started with a count of 10. Now I reach that level:

I wonder if this is a temporary fix to the bomb glitch, or if this is permanent and is effectively the end of the bomb as a feature in Candy Crush…..

Do you all see the same as I see or am I just another test?

I can confirm the change on my side too, @christinewupp.

I hope it is the end. The bombs were fun in their original form when they allowed for the multiplier boost to one's score.

After the boost was removed, they now might as well be regular candy—annoying candy, for sure.

My bombs are also up to 99. I guess that's one way to fix the problem.

You are right: Certain levels are absolutely pointless with the bombs on 99. There will be levels that are far too easy and boring because of this.

I hope they will replace all these levels and then do away with bombs altogether, as they are a nuisance to a lot of players. But if they don't replace the bomb levels then they need to fix the glitch and bring the count back to normal, or players will start posting here asking "What is the purpose of these bombs?". How would we answer that question?.

Just played a bomb level @christinewupp and the bombs didn't have 99 moves.

I think King have found a new fix for the bomb glitch: Just change the message players get. So instead of Tiffi jumping up and down and first telling us we passed the level, now we get a sad faced Yeti and only the failed message, despite getting a tick for fulfilling all the orders.

If you complete the order on your winning move you fail the level. Only now, it is starting to look official.

Here I am set up to pass with the next move as the bomb count is on "1"
