    Locked starting boosters always makes me suspicious that we are being tested. Both Tiffy and Cow avatars get the same identical outcome for this level:

    First try: really close (even if I don't try I am left two jellies short, the game makes sure of that).

    Second try (still with boosters blocked) : pass amazingly easily.

    So what exactly is it they are testing here? I mean, with the starting boosters locked and the message "This level does not affect your win streak" who would use a booster or pay to pass this on their first attempt? Maybe they are testing how stupid we are?

    What worries me somewhat is that when scrolling back from my main game to play level 531 I get a different result. I fail on attempts 1 and 2 , get close on 3 and pass on my fourth attempt. Either the two new players just happen by chance to be in the same test group and we don't all play the same level difficulty or new players generally get a different difficulty. Or maybe the fact that my main game has ads to watch for extra moves plus a UFO affects the level difficulty I get.

    More testing to be done.

    Level 533, also locked boosters would suggest that the first theory, that we are all in different test groups with slightly different difficulty but both Cow and Tiffy happen to be in the same group. I passed on my third attempt with the two new games but on my first attempt on scrolling back. So that would mean theories 2 and 3 are unlikely to be true.

    Of course I use the same strategy each time and mostly follow the moves suggested by the game, so long as they appear to be the best choice.

    @christinewupp This was very interesting. As you know I'm not in the low level in my games but I wonder after following your different posts are we all in different test groups or possibly all players are just assigned a group from when we start the game. It seems it would be easier if the millions of players would all play the same game. I think there would not be so many issues plus would be easier to fix issues if the game was the same.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
