11090 is not what the videos show

Level 2

I've been stuck on level 11090 for a minute. Usually at this point I go to YouTube and see if there's a "trick" to passing, but this level is apparently not passable. Every single video about this level shows a completely different setup.

I don't think it's even possible to pass this level as is. Too many blocks, too many colors and getting chain reactions is almost impossible. This is supposed to be an "easy" level, but even if the 20 moves were doubled it would still be difficult.

Does anybody know why this level is so stupid? Please no advice on waiting a day and coming back; I'm on level 11090 so at this point, so I have a good idea of how the game goes. I've never played a level so obviously unwinnable as is.

    Hello @bookfly🤗 A Warm Welcome to the King Community!

    King tend to make changes to their game levels from time to time! Usually, it is moves that they reduce as the levels become old! But sometimes, they do change levels too! For example, we used to have many Chocolate levels (in lower levels). I think most of those levels have Frosting now!!


    You are saying it is complete set up - which means the level was entirely changed!! If you are still looking for assistance to beat this level, can you please post a screenshot of the gameboard? So that, we (my Community friends & I) can check the level in our game? If there is a glitch in the level, I will be happy to report it for you.

    Hello @bookfly and welcome to the community.

    King have been undertaking a major rewrite and overhaul of the game in the past few weeks now. This affects also the general way the game now plays. I believe it has something to do with the appearance of the super colour bomb and the way King like to fix levels to determine the outcome for us, regardless of what moves we make. King won't share their plans nor their motives with any of us, so it's a lot of guess work and scrolling back to check out previous levels. Many levels across the entire game are being changed, notably those with chocolate, bombs and the frog. I have noted that easy levels have often become ridiculously easy and fast to pass while the harder levels are now so obviously fixed it's clear to anyone now that the game is rigged. There are definitely levels fixed to be impossible to pass on our first attempt, some to be impossible for over 20 attempts and some to be impossible, full stop. And yes, of course there are more and more that leave us exactly one lollipop short. Cascades are written into the algorithm by King. If they want us to pass they create those in the game, if they want us to fail we don't get the candies needed to create them.

    So: Level 11090 . I have the same version as this video with currently 23 moves:

    Is your level different? If you are part of the snow event with the trapped dragons you might have a different version as it's an end of episode level.

    Level 2

    Yes, and it's with the gummy dragons. I wish I could get out of this version. The best board I've gotten in two days still leaves me with 7 out of 8 dragons.

    Hi @bookfly 🤗 Thank you for replying back and also providing the screenshot of your level!

    To be honest, comparing to the board Christine’s has in her game, you have the easy version! Is this the first time, that you are encountering this level?

    The trick is to hit that frozen block (where the Gummy Dragons are tied) with a special candy combo or by making candy matches just next to it. If I remember correctly, the Gummy Dragons should be freed with just one hit!

    Once the Dragons are freed in your first few moves, now, your goal is to free the board from all the blockers and drop the Dragons.

    Well! That is the easy version of it! I don’t think I will have your version as the event disappeared from my game! But, let me check anyway and get back to you in few hours!

    Talk to you soon! Have a great rest of the day🌲🌲


    Edited: Apologies for the spelling blunders before! Was in a rush but wanted to reply back to you😅

    I've seen another complaint about this level here in the past few days. But since it pops up at all level ranges I cannot recall who it was. There is a possibility that King have introduced this level with no lucky boards, and made it essentially impossible to pass. I think I have come across it myself since I have this event in my game. I play boosters or extra moves as the game demands @bookfly , that is how we are supposed to play these levels. As it is the last of the episode we should then get some gold back from winning the race, so it's a kind of investment. We can't play this game any more without spending some gold bars or playing boosters. The game has changed to how it used to be played.

    Level 2

    Easy is not the way I'd describe this. Note how there's FOUR different colors once the first moves are made, the matches are rarely low enough to break through the blocks. When they are, the dinos drop and get in the way. Half of my moves are spent on clearing the licorice around the gum thing, and that doesn't leave enough to get through the rest. The game would have to drop the dragons in a straight vertical line in order to get them out on time, since I have yet to break through in more than one place.

    I could buy 255 extra moves, but until now I've always been able to play my way through eventually, and I don't want to HAVE to spend money to get through.

    And this photo shows one of the better boards I've gotten, not that I have ever managed to get close.

    Thank you for your reply, though.

    Level 2

    Well, if they're waiting for me to pay, they're SOL. I'll buy bars if I don't feel like playing repeat levels, but I refuse to be forced into it.

    There are other games.

    Oh, no @bookfly! I was comparing your current level with the original #11090 and said it is easy, but not in general! I don't remember seeing an easy board in a while in my game!

    See how many layers of Frosting is there, along with the Candy Cane blockers (might not be correct on the name of the blocker)! Also, there are keys to be discovered, which needs to be finished in only 24 moves!

    But, yes! Levels are becoming super hard and not able to win without boosters' help! I am in 17300s and my Gold bars stash is melting by 100s per each episode (earning less and spending more)🙃

    Just wondering!! To release the gummy dragons from the ice-block, was it one hit per Gummy Dragon or one hit will release all 4 of them?

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
