Hey Brashbeauty and welcome to the community!
I understand how frustrating it can be to get stuck on a level for a long time. The game has evolved over the years, and some levels can indeed be quite challenging.
Can you let us know which level you are currently stuck on? Maybe one of lovely community members might be able to share some tips 😉
We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve the game. Keep pushing through, you'll get past that level 💪
If you need any more help or just want to share your thoughts, we're here for you 😊
Greetings @Brashbeauty! When I have been stuck on a level I leave that level alone for a few days and play old levels if I want to play. Also, when I play like yesterday and find that the game is being kind to me and giving me good starting boards I keep playing.
Another tip is I really use powerful boosters nearer the end of the game. Also with fish, I like to use them nearer the end of the game or when I see an opportunity to make strategic plan. Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of boosters to make a plan.
Most important do not waste boosters and gold when you see that it is impossible to pass.
Hello @Lyric543 and welcome to the community. Those candy cane bars are not new, they have been in the game for well over a year, probably two. New elements like these only get introduced to the game in the later levels in order to keep the game interesting and make levels harder to crack. Personally I don't mind them at all. Whichever blockers the game gives you, there is always a strategy to pass, it may just be a different strategy from the one you are used to.
Yes, @Brashbeauty the game has changed beyond recognition from the old game we used to love. There is no way forward now unless you play boosters, as the legendary and nightmarish boards will hold you up (no more lucky boards to allow you to pass easily once you've been stuck for a day or two). So we have to adjust our strategy. Mine is to collect and hoard gold, taking advantage of the events the game gives me so I can pay my way out of those impossible levels where only 10 gold will get you out. Winning the episode races is a must. If you play an episode in 24 hours you will win it, if you take longer you probably will lose. If you find the levels are too hard to do this, or if you find you spend more gold per episode than you earn from it, then don't start playing the episode but wait until King make the game easier again, which they will once too many players drop out or get stuck. If you are past level 10,000 and have no gold left then there is not much I can advise at all except this: If it's not fun, don't spend money on it. If it's not fun anymore, then try a different game or activity. The old game won't come back.
Hello i did pass level 11000 and do have only 5 pieces of gold and yes i am not going to buy anything but i am stuck for a lot of days now. I don't get any ads or other things which can help me. Very frustrating and if this continues i stop playing this first nice game and now it's not anymore !
I’m almost to level 17,000. 90% of the levels now require 10 gold bars and like 60 extra moves. It’s insane because now they took the speed button away. I refuse to spend another red cent until the game is restored. I’m sure their revenue loss over the last few days is speaking for itself. 🤷🏽♀️
I've been playing for years and years! All of a sudden this month, july, almost anything that would get you free boosters or the daily boost, and several other things that were available have all disappeared!!! Prices went up on common items. It's suddenly extremely hard just to be a level not considered hard. So basically anything that would help you in the game has been taken away to force you to spend money which I'm no longer going to do!
11686 and I have played for over 12 years but since the adverts have gone I have nothing to aid me. It’s not just being stuck on this level for 3 weeks now. I was stuck on the last level for two weeks and it’s just not fun anymore!! I have I have international players that I have played with for years and they are not doing very well either and some have given up! I’m at the point of giving up myself as I have been down to just one square left more times than I can count now.
