I have an addition to make:
New player started the game early this week and played a few levels up to level 66. Then the second chance round came along. I started playing yesterday evening with 16 hour left on the clock. It was surprisingly easy to get to the top of the leaderboard and stay there.
There were 50 players on this leaderboard and only one (!) was from India, three in total from Asia. Mostly Europe and America, a few from Africa, a much more expected mix of players than the qualifiers.
I calculated my score for each episode from level 126 through to level 230. Each one of these episodes only scored between 45,000 and 50,000 purple. I was quite surprised since a lot of these levels were four colour boards with what seemed a lot of purple. But they do self terminate, it's hard to play them to the last move, and the red candies now start dropping as soon as the level is won.
Anyone who thinks that players at low levels are at an advantage need to also note that a player at these levels will have no friends and so will run out of lives and might have to buy indefinite lives to compete. I had to spend some gold bars for extra moves before I hit the first legendary an hour before the round finished as I was down to my last life. That definitely makes it harder for new players. It's not just about how easy the levels themselves are. And they score less purple per level than the higher levels.
48 more hours of testing starting now.
The new player starts now
Currently at level 238.
Good luck!
Thanks. I don't think I'll win with this one as I don't even have time to play right now. I'll start another one tonight and one quite late, maybe tomorrow evening. Who knows how many finals leaderboards there will be for this competition. I expect there to be an unlimited number as all they give away is a few party poppers.
With 33 hours to go I'm in the lead on both leaderboards that I started today. I very much like the green "playing now" that shows us who is actively playing. It helps to judge if I am overtaking players because I am faster or if it is because they have paused playing. It looks like I am a faster scorer than the others in my two groups, which is what I was hoping to find out. I'm not going to deplete my gold bars for this tournament any more though, it's not fun to play. They've made the levels unpleasantly hard, in the level ranges 300- 600 at least. Boring as well. I could swear I'm playing some of the same levels again and again, they are all so similar.
