What is going on with special candies?

Why are matches sometimes generating the wrong candy?

While it is nearly impossible to SS, I have seen multiple times where a line of four candies generates a wrapped candy and not a striped one. This also can see to generate a colour bomb at times.

Other matches seem to act normally.

    Sometimes, when there are multiple candies of the same color together, we want e.g. to create a striped candy, matching 4 candies in a row, but we create a wrapped candy, because there was another candy of the same color beside!

    While it is nearly impossible to SS, 

    Can't you just SS the before and after condition @SubstitutePyrolight. That is, SS the four candy in a row before you match them and then SS the result. I appreciate this will generate a lot of SS as I guess you can't know when the match is going to go wrong.

    I must admit I would have thought that being a programmer that you would have access to a screen recording app.

    In fact as a Windows user why aren't you using the screen recording capabilities of the Snipping Tool, or the Xbox Game Bar.

    Naw screen recording tools are a support staff thing. Only time we record is meetings and rarely.

    As for the Xbox Game Bar, Mircosoft already trying to get far more telemetry data than they should haha.

    I will have to try and get a SS when I suspect it might happen.

    Ya but that would be a very specific situation where moving a candy will make a wrapped or striped depending on how it is positioned. This happens where that would not happen.

    I do have a theory. The game is simply generating a wrapped/bomb from the "good move" and instead of what you expect you get something else, maybe.

  • Yes @SubstitutePyrolight , it happened to me to face this specific situation and I also have learned how to create a striped or wrapped candy, according to my needs, avoiding the "accidental" creation of the opposite candy!

    Your theory of the "good move" is interesting! We had a similar theory when we were playing the Jelly Royal Championship, a player vs player side game! According to this theory, the player who did a "good move" had as a reward advantageous candydropping!

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
