I'm on level 12664 and I'm getting the above message and then the game ends. I'm so close to winning the series and then this pops up! It's eaten 2 of my lives and will not have any more boosters left by the time I get another life. I'm upset about this and need this resolved. 🤬

    My comment went for approval @MannyFae ! Do you want to see if you are allowed to answer this one? What could I possibly have written here to trigger that?

    I scrolled back to level 12664 and I do get a warning about the magic mixers. So @carolbob I guess you have probably figured out already that the mixers at the bottom spawn frosting?

    Hello @carolbob

    As you have probably figured out, the magic mixers produce the orders on this level. If you explode them before they have spawned enough frosting, the game will end and you will receive that error message.

    My comment has been posted, @christinewupp. I am not sure what caused the comment to go for approval, but the thread seems to be innocuous enough.

    Thanks. I think I may have used a word I don't usually use though I am not aware of any secondary meaning. I note you still have the old frosting. I get the new and yours is so much more pleasant on the eye.

    Yes, I still have the old frosting and I am not looking forward to the new one. It's colorful, but it will take some time to get used to. They probably did it to make the lower levels that have nothing but frosting less monotonous.

    But the way @MannyFae I am past level 2000 now in my boring test game and finally hitting some unadulterated old levels that lead me to enjoy the game. I am finally making some gold as well, so I wonder if the boring level rewrite and the stagnant gold balance are connected. It might be that King are trying to increase control so we cannot amass thousands of gold bars any more. Having said that I am now stuck on level 2187 which seems like an odd one out pay to pass level. Indeed I can tell these a mile off: I just checked on YouTube and there is no recent video, the last one still had chocolate. These rewritten chocolate levels are just awful, but thankfully so far they have left the chocolate free levels well alone at this range. I am trying to outrun to rewriters now and hopefully will start making some gold again. But I won't be starting a new game any time soon.

    On the other hand level 2190 though legendary was an absolute joy to play. I checked this one out as well: Unchanged in the past two years. I think I can tell which levels are a rewrite just by whether I enjoy playing them or not. Sad times…

    It might be that King are trying to increase control so we cannot amass thousands of gold bars any more.

    It seems like a plausible explanation. To accumulate thousands of gold bars, you need to start well and then use that gold to win more. If your gold balance remains stagnant, the genuine new player may run out of gold at this point.

    These rewritten chocolate levels are just awful, but thankfully so far they have left the chocolate free levels well alone at this range.

    I'm glad they have left at least some of the old levels alone for now. They might succeed in making sure new players don't have any gold, but they risk making them bored to death. If I were given only frosting and jelly jars as a new player, I would become bored rather than addicted to this game. Why are they so fond of jelly jars? Everyone hates them.

    Oh just one more thing before I go this morning: How do you do the quoting with the grey bars that you used in this last post? . I still don't know how to do this.

    This is normal. the no enough order targets message will trigger when you manage to destroy all the magic mixers without collecting enough orders if these mixers are required. Only when you have had enough orders, you can start destroying the magic mixers

    Some levels may temporarily or even completely rely on magic mixers because the magic mixers spawn the blockers that do not exist on the initial board, yet they are included on the orders

    The message that appears like this is correct, there is nothing wrong with it

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
