Feedback on levels 10 116 - 10 160!

We had a little break in the middle-late 9000 levels until the 10 before 10,000 and almost every level after. Now we're back to the ridiculous levels that now require boosters/extra moves to complete and are very frustrating. I play Candy Crush to destress and relax but feel the exact opposite playing now. I've had to use most of my boosters and gold bars to get to where I am at - level 10,134.

King:

• These newer levels aren't enjoyable. Hire people who can design better levels without compromising the spirit of the game. There's zero creativity in drastically reducing moves and increasing the requirements to win so that you need boosters and extra moves to win each level. In addition, having to play levels many times to win isn't fun. Not everyone wants to play very challenging levels. Some of us just want to escape the real world for a bit and have fun crushing candies!
• I am not paying to play, and making the game more frustrating to play will lead me to quit. I won't purchase anything to pass levels I don't even enjoy.
• Please don't tell us to watch a video to learn to pass levels or other condescending and useless responses such as "all levels can be passed and some just take longer," "levels are sometimes changed" (uhh, yeah, obviously), and a designer who tells us they had no trouble passing a level does nothing to helps us pass. Well, I'd hope they can pass the level they design. If I've made it past 10,000, I know how to play. It's not my lack of ability. It's the low amount of moves and all the requirements to complete the levels in said (few) moves that's the issue.
• At least provide those of us who are beyond 10,000 with rewards like gold bars and boosters more frequently. I am no longer winning episodes so how about five gold bars and/or a booster and extra lives for every five levels completed? That would be more helpful for me than these new in-game games like "Sweet Crew" where I have to depend on people. Of the 31 levels completed by my "Sweet Crew" so far, I've completed 19 of them. I'd rather just earn based on my own merit.

Hello level designers (@LindQ, where are you??),

I am back with my latest update on level 10,144. It’s been over two full days now and I have played this level 51 times now and still not coming close. I am up to the maximum offer of 35 extra moves for 10 gold bars, unfortunately I only have two, so those 35 extra moves are of no use to me!

How about after being stuck long enough to get the 35 extra moves, you just allow the player to use the 35 extra moves without needing the 10 gold bars?

I don’t see ever getting a lucky enough board to beat this level. To make it a regular difficulty level, you really need to remove all the locked licorice from the board. I’m not just talking about removing the locks, I’m talking about removing all the locks and the licorice. Then, maybe it will be a doable level.

This has got to be the most frustrating level I’ve played in the last several months. It really needs some kind of adjustment. Either that, or maybe every 10 fails, the player can be awarded 10 gold bars for putting up with such a difficult level.

Please do something to fix this level. I don’t know how much longer I will keep beating my head against the wall with this level before I just give up altogether! 🙁

worst levels

Hello level designers,

Here is my latest update on the dreaded level 10,144. I don’t think the level has been tweaked at all, but I finally passed the level through sheer luck, pregame boosters, six extra moves from watching ads after losing for the 56th time, three hammers and two hand switches won from the chocolate box and booster wheel! It took all of that and an incredibly lucky board that included getting TWO color bomb/color bomb combos! That was absolutely ridiculous!

As it turns out, my joy was short lived, as level 10,147 is turning out to be another level just like 10,144. I have played level 10,147 many times already, and haven’t come remotely close to winning. I hope the level designers will look at these two levels and make some adjustments. Having such difficult levels just takes all the fun out of the game. These last three episodes have been some of the worst I’ve played so far.

Hi @LindQ  

Verifying levels 10035 and 10041 on mobile devices is very difficult

10035 The closed liquorice swirl is the one that bothers or removes something, when it is time to remove a sour skullmany movements are lost until arriving.

10141

Delete Crystal Candy because it is excessive in the mobile version, I saw youtube videos that there were 2 cake bombs but they are no longer there.
