do you have any ideas? The level pictured below only has 16 moves how is this possible?
Hi @Kerrie I think you have probably answered your own question by pointing out that the level only has 16 moves.
Levels 1-700 have been around for a long time now, and the game has seen a lot of changes in that time. I would guess that the high score comes from when the level was first released, and moves weren't as restricted as they are now
Also as you can see in the linked discussion below the points system was changed back in 2020. I seem to remember more than a few complaints about how the points change has made getting three stars impossible on some of the levels.
@Kerrie In addition to what Alienscar points out about the older levels being changed from what they were years ago, some people simply hack to achieve ridiculously high scores, which is what I suspect for your #1 scorer. I mean, if that person also happens to have 1,000,000+ points for Level 1, then clearly they hacked. 🙄
With the new Friends list, there's a simple solution: locate and remove that friend. I would opt for that since it's annoying to have to look at someone's fake score when opening a level.
Since this here game (CCS) is feeling more like Friends/Jelly/Soda by the day, the devs might as well go all the way with it; i.e., allow players to match 6 candies to create a colouring candy/match 4 candies in a square to create a Swedish fish/& introduce this candy into the game:
Match 6 of these & see what happens.
But anyway, this game used to be a leader in the industry; seems like it's more of a follower, nowadays...
