Dark chocolate glitch- how to pass those levels

christinewupp

There has been a glitch affecting dark chocolate sitting and spreading underneath other candies. King know about this glitch and hopefully this will get fixed soon.

I have tried levels out and have found:

This glitch is only in the graphics. The gameplay is unchanged. Any chocolate sitting underneath a candy is not really chocolate in the game.

Therefore:

1. If there is an order for dark chocolate please ignore the fake, glitched chocolate. You will need to make sure you let the real chocolate (that is just chocolate and not sitting under a candy) grow enough to fulfil the order. Pretend the glitched chocolate is not there! Because in the game it isn't there and it does not count.
2. If there is a jelly order then the chocolate does not stop you clearing the jelly or clear the board. Making any move will clear the board as normal, as if the chocolate was not there, because to the game the glitched chocolate is not really there. It can make it impossible to see where the last remaining jellies are, so make a mental note early on in the level of where the jelly to be cleared is, before chocolate covers it. The mechanics are not affected by the fake chocolate, so jelly fish, wrapped candies etc will clear the jelly underneath the chocolate as normal, even if you cannot see it.
3. Wrapped candies sitting on top of fake chocolate do not look like wrapped candies but behave like wrapped candies if you make matches with them.

This all makes playing these levels really difficult, so if you struggle passing a level because of this glitch then consider giving it a pause until King have fixed it! It may get fixed early on next week, one would hope. But of course non of us here have any idea when that will be.

thank you - experiencing this on 7328 and it’s really frustrating! I feel like there have been more glitches than usual over the past 6 mo.

Thank you for the great explanation. I have been experiencing the same. It's just harder when my brain sees those phantom chocolates to see what it is I really need to do to win that level. They are hard to ignore, but you are right, it's a graphics glitch and doesn't really change the board.

Just encountered the glitch yesterday! So it is still around, confusing!
