Possible glitch?

For the past couple of weeks I've noticed that apart from not seeing any ads, now it is only at the last move of every level that multiple colour bombs appear but of course I can't use them because I don't have any more moves. I've decided to stop using gold bars to buy moves and I feel as if the game is punishing me for that. I'm at level 14960 so I know that things like that didn't use to happen. Anybody else experiencing the same situation?

Hello @larra . No, it's not a glitch and yes, this did not use to happen a year ago but we all see the colour bombs dropping on the last move now if we replay a failed level often enough.

The game has changed over the past year and these colour bombs that drop are a deliberate attempt by the game to encourage you to spend gold bars to buy the extra moves necessary to get past the level. It's part of how the game now works: it is about budgeting gold bars and boosters now. Players need to use these to get past the impossible levels. To refuse to spend gold bars to buy extra moves (if you do have the gold in your account) is not something I would recommend. It will only lead to frustration. You are meant to use gold to pay for extra moves on some levels and win gold back from the episode race, chocolate box or Candy Royale.

However it may not be possible to make more gold than you spend at the higher levels. If you have never spent any real money it is possible that the app is making your game harder in hope that you will start to spend money to keep playing. Don't: If you refuse to spend money the ads may come back before long. If the levels are too hard you might want to pause playing for a couple of weeks to see if the game gets easier. That often works for me.
