These scores are ridiculous

yorkielvr3 · August 2023

Anyone else have insane scores in the summer games finals? The top spot in my group is over 5 million! Are there cheats that idk about or are people just constantly spending money to buy their way through? I used to use levels like3309 to go up quickly when I ran out of new levels to play but they have changed every old level that was good for collecting, at least that I knew of. It just seems impossible to me to be collecting that many honestly with no help or playing 24/7.

We had exactly the same questions in All Stars. I think the verdict then was that that 5 million was maybe just about mathematically possible, but it's probably someone who used some sort of cheating mechanism. No player like that would spend any money on the game, these people are crushers who never spend a penny. This game is so full of glitches that it's quite easy for some people to take advantage of them to run off in competitions like this. You are unlucky to be in this group. If there was a cash prize there would be one hell of a lot more cheaters. I'm surprised people bother to go all out like that for 200 fake gold bars.

Well I never even got to play in all stars lol! Ranted on this blog multiple times because I had to stare at the graphics everyday and never got to play. I know it’s ridiculous because I could just buy the gold for what I would have to spend to get that kind of score. There has to be more levels like 3309 but idk how they find them, king is constantly changing the ones that people use to cheat with. Like do you just go through over 14,000 levels all day seeing which ones work?? I actually pride myself that I have never spent a penny on the game but I don’t have the time to devote to trying to find the new cheat with king constantly changing the game to sabotage you. Even the new way to get free boosters suck.

But King has said that they have an anti-cheat system in place though.

King do in all honesty try to stop players from cheating. For example I have found that if you change your clock/date on your device during contests like these you will lose access to it, it just throws you out. However, there are some very clever players with computing expertise out there who will find it easy to find a way to get infinite lives or infinite boosters somehow, the game is really full of glitches that can be taken advantage of (no, I don't know how they do it and I'm not interested either, but I am sure it can be done).

More likely than hacking is that with so many millions of players participating in the contest there will be someone mad who just keeps crushing for the entire time of the competition and while they rest and sleep they will hand their device to a friend who plays on for them, in fact you could play simultaneously on several devices on the same account, probably. There is no way to police this sort of behaviour. Again, we saw this in All Stars. There is no way to eliminate cheaters completely.
