    Hello @mark1971🤗 A Warm Welcome to the King Community!

    Which device are you using and which version of the App do you have right now?

    Can you please post a screenshot of your level - after you click on play and open the game board? In the meantime, I will also check in my game!

    Hi Mark🙋‍♀️

    Yes, you are right! I too got the same board! I played till 19th move to see may be other keys will reveal the "hidden" frog! But, no luck!

    And, yes! The key in the left side of the board cannot be collected unless we use a booster!!


    I will report the issue to our Community In-charge, so that they can pass it onto the Studio for a fix.


    If our Community In-charge needs any other details, I will get back to you🙏

    Hello @PummyRaj . Please could you check with the CM or could someone here give us some answers to the question what is going on with this game? I am very concerned about the level rewrites of the past few weeks. In the past three weeks or so some levels have seen their mechanisms broken by replacing chocolate with frosting. And now we are seeing broken mechanisms as King are removing the frog from levels. I would like to see these questions answered:

    Are King removing chocolate and the frog from all levels or just up to a certain level, if so which one? Level 10,000 maybe? I don't need to know why, because I have a fairly good theory on the "why", but I would really like to know what they are up to and have repeatedly asked about this and we get no information at all in this community now. I can no longer advise players on anything as the game has been terminally dumbed down all the way up to level 5000 and apparently now beyond that. The fact that they helped @mark1971 pass this by giving them two colour bombs together just tops it all. This game is becoming a gambling app. Someone at King needs to either confirm this or they need to stop rewriting all the levels.

    Thank you for raising your concerns and sharing your observations about the recent level adjustments and changes in the game. I completely understand how changes to mechanics, like the frog or chocolate replacements, might feel unsettling, especially if you’ve been guiding other players with strategies based on the original setups.

    Here’s what I can share:

    1. Level Rewrites and Adjustments:
      Our game team is constantly testing and tweaking levels to ensure the game remains balanced and enjoyable for both new and experienced players. This might involve replacing certain obstacles or updating mechanics. These changes are never meant to make levels feel "dumbed down" but rather to create a consistent challenge across different stages of the game.
    2. The Frog and Chocolate Mechanics:
      There hasn’t been an official announcement about completely removing these features. However, I’ll escalate your feedback to the team so they’re aware of your concerns and can provide clarification if necessary.
    3. Transparency and Communication:
      I know it can be frustrating when you don’t have clear updates. I’ll try my best to get more insights about the current changes.

    Feel free to share any other specific examples or feedback! Your input helps us improve the game for everyone 🙏

    Thank you for your reply @QueenB.

    Level 8451 is an example of another level which has been broken by removing the frog order from it. The designers tweak the algorithm to try to simplify the game for whatever reason, but this breaks the level by interfering with the original design. This is the new version of the level:

    The frog still exists but is no longer necessary to pass the level, which makes me think it is being written out of the game. This particular level is currently unpassable because only two out of 5 dragons drop (see screenshots below), so I assume this will get fixed soon, but there are other levels in which the fault is a lot more subtle.

    King's "fix" to these more subtle ways in which a level design has been ruined by a rewrite is to drop players a ton of colour bombs often to make a double colour bomb, which will help players to essentially bypass most broken levels. Level 1519 is an example of this. It is supposed to be an easy level to pass. King had removed the chocolate order and changed the number of frosting on the board as well, but now the order requires every piece of frosting to be removed, but the two frosting in the top corners cannot be reached unless you have striped candy.

    Initially after the alteration an unusual number of players must have taken longer than expected to clear this level as I have noted that this week the team have saturated this level with luck: drops of striped and wrapped candies and colour bombs. They seem to use this method to fix all the broken levels, but while this has the effect that each player can move on past the ruined levels it does now make the game exceedingly boring. I would be very grateful if you could pass on that Candy Crush needs to be challenging and rewarding to play. The algorithms have been simplified to such an extent that this is no longer the case. King are oversimplifying the game and this will cause players to drop out. I can no longer recommend this game to anyone, at any level range.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
