When do advanced blockers start appearing?

MagicianDEV

For example, I got chocolate only once around level 200 and it was for an order requirement. When would that start to appear regularly in levels? Or for example candy bombs which used to appear in level 90 to 100 and I literally haven't seen any of them.

I also heard about the candy frog but honestly it might not even be real until level kajillion and fifty. Also I have not yet seen a single chocolate generator (maybe there was one in that order level near 200 but I don't remember). From what I've read dark chocolate appears after 3000 so regular chocolate should appear earlier? But since I'm already past level 2060 idk

What QueenB told you sums it up nicely, but I would like to add to this as well.

The levels with chocolate you saw are relics. Sadly because of the way the game is being changed and rewritten the advanced elements that long standing experienced players remember have been written out of the game almost entirely in the past two years. I remember how aghast I was when I realised that all the chocolate order levels have been removed from the game. Those challenges used to be intelligent and enjoyable. You may have noted that the one or two relic levels you still saw do not require players to actually grow the chocolate: there are lucky candy dispensers that provide the mechanism for collecting chocolate. The only chocolate levels you will ever see in Candy Crush now are levels where the chocolate functions as a blocker, almost identical to all other blockers in the game and there is not a single level left that truly requires us to allow chocolate to grow. There is a reason they were all removed: A double super charger combo would break any chocolate order level, so when the super charger was introduced chocolate had to go. All elements in the game are blockers of some sort or another and all elements require the same action to pass the level: play a double super charger colour bomb and you will pass, that's Candy Crush in a nutshell.

The Candy Frog is also a relic but it is still being tolerated by the design team. In some levels it is even helpful and an interesting feature, but it does not show up until very late in the game. I think there is a tutorial in the mid 6000s but then most of the frog levels have been removed until about level 8000. After level 18,000 the frog no longer features either because the AI that now writes the new levels cannot compute it.

Levels 1 to 200 introduce quite a few types of blockers and features but many of these players will rarely encounter in the levels that follow. The game is a patchwork and lacks cohesion and logical progression. One of the last remaining interesting features, conveyor belts, appears in levels in the 300 range but then completely disappears for hundreds of levels. This removal of conveyor belts makes those levels from about 800-1500 the blandest and dullest of all of Candy Crush. Those levels were all rewritten and are horrible and boring. These rewrites last until at least level 3000.

Don't expect any interesting or advanced features soon. Nothing much happens until the upper thousands, and that's just because no one at King has bothered to sift through those levels yet.

Hey there and welcome to the Candy Community 👋

Love the questions and you can really tell you’re diving into the game and noticing the details 😁

To give you a bit of clarity:

Blockers don’t follow the same appearance pattern they used to years ago. The early episodes have been refreshed multiple times, which means things like candy bombs, chocolate or spawners might appear much later now compared to old guides or YouTube videos. So you’re not missing anything, the game layout has simply changed over the years.

Chocolate & chocolate generators
You will start seeing them more frequently as you move deeper into the 2000+ range. They don’t roll out in a strict order, some episodes lean heavily into certain mechanics, others skip them for a while.

Candy bombs
These show up less often in the refreshed early levels. You’ll still encounter them later, but not as regularly as older videos suggest.

The Candy Frog
Totally real 😄
But yes, it doesn’t appear in the early game anymore. You’ll meet it later on and it becomes super useful once you unlock it!

Candy Crush has had many redesigns, so older resources don’t always match what players see today. You’re progressing at a great pace and the more episodes you unlock, the more mechanics, blockers, and special tiles you’ll encounter.

If you ever get curious about a specific feature or level, feel free to ask. We're happy to help 😊
