Passing levels only with gold bars

Susie_Mancini

what is wrong with candy crush??? At one time boosters were needed to pass levels today if you don’t have gold bars you just don’t get ahead!!!! Sometimes I just play to start the chocolate box event to wipe out the impossible tasks. I really think candy crush doesn’t care about one fish in the sea!!!!!!

Yes, that is the main change I too have noticed in Candy Crush in the past twelve months: You cannot play without gold. It's definitely now about budgeting gold and boosters rather than about passing individual levels.

The algorithms have been simplified in recent months to give the AI better control over the outcome of each board, using mostly jelly fish cascades to determine if we pass or fail. I have noted that in doing so the finish sequences have become shorter: Once the "pass" decision is made the game ends in two or three moves, not five or more as we used to see previously. This gives us little time to use boosters, we see few chances to use a lollipop hammer for the last licorice or jelly, for example. Most of the harder boards are now "near miss" boards, where the game creates cascades near the end to ensure that the player is left 1-5 moves short at the end. This is NOT FUN!

If you are playing in the higher levels and have run out of gold then that is a major problem. Check this out:
