I know we all play different versions of the game both on the same platform and between platforms.
My question is more about the difference between platforms themselves. Are there features you will never see on one platform that might be on another?

Hello @sweetie_pea It is the same level, my dear! I am not that stupid, of course both shots are of level 177. What looks like a "1" to you in my screenshot is present in all our games after the level number. I'm not sure if it's the letter "l" or some upwards facing bar, but if you check your own game you ought to see it, too. This "l" has confused players before you, so I can't blame you for making a mistake. But no, my post was to state that the chocolate was removed from level 177, which is indeed what they have done.
@christinewupp Your 1st video is showing level 177 your next one is showing level 1771 it is not even the same level so naturally it would be different that's a thousand levels more.
Great to hear. Also I was slightly mistaken on the Candy Royal, it does need a close/open to trigger at level 500. Also I pray you do not get the one I have... 500 gold... 12 levels... Seriously just make it two more levels for 1000 king, please and thank you. That being said I should not complain too much, you get boosters every level basically so it is not horrible if you can get it in a easier set of levels.
I'm looking forward to trying this out when I hit this level on my latest test game. I'm at level 291 now after starting a new game on Monday. Sam's Streak started exactly when you said it would, so thanks for that info. I won't be able to contribute to any of your excellent analyses as what I am testing out is quite different, but keep up the good work @Pyrolight .
I have found this too. I was always thinking this was due to there being leaderboard events at the weekends. I find Monday and Tuesday the best days to play and earn boosters.
Game Difficultly Day of the Week
The game seems to get harder as you get to the weekend.
Mechanic/Single/Dual Trigger Levels
These are levels that either require a specific mechanic to be triggered or have some specific trigger that will allow the level to be beat or allow the first half and second half to be completed. This goes beyond matching the algorithm. It seems like one or two specific moves need to be made.
Thanks for the info. I'll watch out for that.
I cannot say 100% for sure on Sam's Streak but it seems to pop up around 200ish. It might be the next time you open the app after 200 or the next day. This most recent start it actually took one close and open after playing an episode, likely only needed to be a level, for the win streak to update once Sam's showed up.
Candy Royal on the other hand triggers right after 500.
I too have been finding legendary levels passable on my first try. @Pyrolight I think maybe they have made the game easier all round this week, after the Winter Cup finished. I played in that and since the event finished I have been a lot more successful at clearing episodes with a net win of gold than during the event when I made a net loss. Same player, same tactics. I've started a new game this week, after a long while. Out of interest, when does Sam's Streak start? I am just up to level 180 and have the cheap version of the win streak (one of each booster, no extra moves) and chocolate box.
Be aware that King update the events and level set-up automatically, everytime you see this on your screen. It seems to pop up in the middle of my game sometimes and certainly every day when I start playing. There is no way to escape this, I think. I don't really know what the official app store updates do.
And More
I suspect if you have the Legendary Level event those levels are slightly easier. I have it and I have first time passed a few which is usually pretty rare.
Sam's Streak
The game will after a time try to break the streak by mitigating the effects of the extra moves and boosters.
Set Levels (set mechanics)
There are some levels that have one or two specific first move results regardless of what you do. Only in level booster will have an effect on the result. All other boosters are functionally negated. See 417 and a color bomb/striped/wrapped. It is never useful.
Further analysis
Levels of Boosters
Lowest - Pregame color bomb or striped and wrapped. There are almost useless unless the level specifically requires them.
Much better - Pregame boosters all other types. These will improve your chances of wining regardless of type.
In Game - The are all very strong and make the levels more lucky across the board.
Honestly I do not mind the change to the early levels. I always felt there were a few too many different mechanics tossed at the player in short order.
What I am hoping they will be doing is spreading out stuff like chocolate, bombs, and so on over the first few thousand levels. You got 4 or so new mechanics in under 200 levels and then basically 2 or 3 from 1000-4000 if I recall correctly.
Got the fast forward button on windows, the altered levels on mobile.
What is far more interesting to me and I might as support about this one,
So if you close your app before you start level 20 you will always get the gold pot and the pig, if you don't you might or might not get them.
The first race can appear on 51 or 66? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
On mobile I saw the UFO and Party on different levels from one run to 100 to the next. Did not see them on windows.
I had that too, but it has disappeared since. In fact it disappeared just when I had won Sam's Streak and I wanted to see if I can get through more levels with it while I had 10 minutes of Party Poppers, which was disappointing. I also have the "view board" button in the new game I started a week ago. It lets me view the map to assess if I wish to play on for 10 gold, after my moves have gone down to zero. It's quite a useful feature, so I doubt they'll ever roll it out to everyone.
Yes I did the get 4 hours of free lives this morning. So it's not just different events that people are getting, it would seem that some of the levels are different too. I also got a new feature a few days ago, kind of like a fast forward button where the game is played at a faster pace. I've tried it out on a few levels and it seems okay.
Oh! That's interesting. Have you been given 4 hours indefinite lives? I was given this in all three of my games this morning. That is one reason how I've noticed the changes. I can just flit through levels without losing a life and check them all out.
My levels of 177 & 185 both contain chocolate and are the same as those in the videos. I will check my other games to see if those are the same.
Sorry but I don't agree here. They have made some of the early levels harder. The chocolate has also been removed from level 185. In fact I'm not sure I've come across any chocolate yet in this game, where does it get introduced? This is so boring and so, so easy for King to decide who can win this level and who won't win this level now. The chocolate was too random for them. They want to take full control. FULL control.
King have changed nearly all the original really difficult early levels like 305, 350, 464 etc to something much easier. I guess they don't want new players getting stuck near the start of the game and giving up in frustration. With over 15000 levels now, I don't see why they should change any level or re-introduce new elements into the game earlier than they did originally. No other game that I've played have made any changes to a level once it's been released especially a basic level like in your post.
@Arrowflinger I've just noticed something else: The earliest levels have been changed, for the worse. They have been dumbed down and made easier by King to manipulate and to change using AI I suppose. I'll post about this in a separate post. But some of the levels that used to need half a brain to pass are now just stupid. Look at level 177: The chocolate has been removed. So now the algorithm decides if you pass or fail. This is how it used to play.
And this is the new version...... sad, sad state of affairs. This game is no longer for intelligent people.

This level is impossible! I am going bonkers.
Level 10054 is impossible to pass because the 4th required Dragon does not drop, I have used many booster and bombs and still have not cracked this level because the fourth and last required doesn't appear.
I am restricted and playing candy crush lite version due to rules and regulations I do not know why ?
