The Last Crusade

ForumPyrolight · January 14

Welp this is it, the last kick at the can.

Rules as always are:

No extra turns
No buying gold
No Hints
Must get to 66 with no lost lives
6 hour sessions, min 1 a day when possible

Now for the burning questions!

Why the odd name? Because email verification is broken again.

What will be your name? Pyrolight, but ya broken.

Which avatar? Some Panda one, and it is terrible.

Was 65 a nightmare? No, for once it was a double colour bomb.

Why now? New Year and the last event ended yesterday.

Have you gotten the new features? Some, some are still old.

Anything else? Yes, the splash screen amuses me I must admit.

P.S. No much of a point restricting newbie image uploads when you can just drag the image into the thread. Seriously SAP would build a more functional forum than these Vanilla wingnuts.

I knew it would be you when I saw the header. I think I'm past my last crusade now…. no more new boring games for a while. So let us know how you get on!

Love your new name!

Day too… get it? Hahahahaha

Anyway, while Yeti needs to see a doctor about the testicle growing out of his head

I admit it, I laughed.

Also

Win streak broke at 75, pretty normal.
Got a 6 stage Win Streak, 9 for Egg.
New Player Card.
Old Frosting.
No Free UFOs nor Party Popper as normal for Windows version.
Seems like cascades are changed again. On 92 after losing, too many licorice left, it did the post win/loss cascade before all the licorice had come onto the screen and some more was actually cleared post loss. Feels very awkward.
Chocolate box started @ 93. That is pretty random.
So the game has been playing quite easy. Interesting to see what it is like when there are no events active raising the base difficulty level.
Got just past 200, 205 was a hilarious color bomb + wrapped clearing out a ton of icing. The game was being too nice on that one. Usually I do not get to 200 from 66 in one session but as I say, no events so the levels were not more difficult than they should be.

That's all very interesting and does not surprise me at all as I was expecting King to start off January with trying to win new players to the game with easy early levels. That's always the way when there isn't much going on. Do you have the normal level 1 onwards with the tutorials? Are the colours normal? It's good to hear that your frosting is the old one. I still haven't got used to that marshmallow type stuff. They are clearly in an experimenting phase with the game. Let us know if you see any conveyor belts in your levels when you get to that stage.

Do you have the normal level 1 onwards with the tutorials?

New versions of 1-50, so far everything else to 200 was old versions.

Are the colours normal?

Yup, no colour changes.

Will be interesting to see. Today or tomorrow will be the real test. I find the first few days on windows can be very different than the "update" day.

That being said, I have a feeling I will have the old levels.

So for Day 3

Win Streak bags are just weird before they all max out
Yup had 3 supercharged color bombs for a bit. That was kinda hilarious.
The Alien event started on 261, also it seems to be a non seasonal monthly thing based on the days left being 18 which goes to the first Sunday in Feb.
Zomg Tiffi
I like this, one of the better, here is a helper things.
I bet someone is jelly…
I bet really jelly now :)
Lol this game is cursed… or will be devilishly good, not sure.
