What happened to my candy crush???

Question

I downloaded candy crush after a few months of not playing it. I made a new king account and clicked play. It loaded me straight into a level with no level select screen. I feel like I’m completely locked out of the normal game. Completing a level sends me straight to the next. There’s no way to spin a wheel, access friends, shop, or do anything!! Just level to level mobile game slop. With boosters not unlocking until certain levels. What is this??

Hi @XDrkPhoen1xX If you download the app afresh to start a new account then you will be grouped into one of several test groups, some of which do have this initial feature you describe. The first 10 levels are sometimes like you describe, for some test accounts.  Once you reach level 10 you should get 50 gold bars. The boosters unlock over the first 90 levels and the episode race starts at level 51. Events start slowly, as you work your way through the first 200 levels. Candy Royale is the last event to show up at level 500, which is also when the speed button appears.

I consider the first 200 levels of the game to be training levels. These are different to the rest of the game because the win streak features and super charger do not show up until after level 200. So the best way to play the first 200 levels is to replay levels that you fail, as often you will get some luck on your second attempt. Levels 90 and 114 you generally need to pay 10 gold bars for extra moves. The first 200 levels can be quite tedious to play, but once you hit level 200 the game becomes more like the familiar Candy Crush, and more enjoyable.

Hi @XDrkPhoen1xX ! As changes are made to the game, some new players may have different experiences at first, but as you continue to play you should find that you regain access to the game map and events. We appreciate your feedback for this and you can rest assured it has been shared with the team.
