level 1180 It is obvious that there is a money making plan involved ?

Generally speaking, if there's a choice between conspiracy and cock-up the latter is always far more likely. We have had a very good run of additional levels which apparently were designed by somebody with genuine experience of the game. That run has ended and the lunatics have retaken the asylum. The reason I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt here is that none of the available bonus candies is actually much use in this level which should really be obvious to anyone who has put in enough game hours to be at this level. I'm therefore far more inclined to believe that this is just mind-bending incompetence than any concerted effort to force players who've got this far for free (which includes myself) to resort to paid help.
