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.

I guess those aliens are dragons in disguise. I haven't seen them in my game.

Interesting. The aliens are seriously adorable and in high resolution. My images are shrunk and compressed for size so it does not do them justice.
Still a little pixellated but a better image of them. The gap you see at the top is where the UFO they start in is.

I will update tomorrow… but I have some opinions on the Aliens. Short answer, think of a Legendary level at the end of every episode with some insanely obnoxious mechanics.
1 -
So the weekly wrap-up and Monday funday
- The alien event can do unpleasant things to itself. It is objectively a Legendary level at the end of every episode. Additionally it has exceptionally frustrating mechanics. It is MUCH worse than volcanic panic. I will more into it in a separate thread.
- Hit 875, or the promised land as far as the early levels go. The 450ish-875 section was me trying to not lose any gold, forget about making any. Honestly I don't care if that entire section was replaced with levels that took a single move, it would be an improvement. Bored is better than bored and in a state of constant rage :D
- Not much more to say, the 200 to 900 section is still hot garbage.
Other observations and Monday
- Top That! was expired when I started the game.
- I got the candy smash event, 20 min version, rewards were 1 hammer, 1 switch, 1 bomb, 1 striped/wrapped.
- I noticed using a party booster seems to give "luck" for a few levels.
- Also now when you replay an old level, after you will the next button is shaded if the next level is not new.
- On level 901, the first time I played, all the keys had licorice covering them. After loosing, including the super bomb, "you shall not pass level", the next time all the keys were not covered in licorice.
- My cat wants me to play with her so she is being impossibly cute.

I love your gorgeous kitty, so cute….
I love your info as well. That Party Popper comment is interesting. I used to believe years ago that whether we paid or not to play on influenced how we'd get on with the next few levels, but discounted that a long time ago. Maybe it's time to revisit that.
Have you seen any yellow candies dropping on the last move? I have seen these on some levels in the the 5000+ range and still can't work out what exactly causes it. I think it's levels we are meant to fail (legendary, first attempt) but that would have a cascade with bubble gum popping on our last move if it were not for the yellow candies.
Your observation on level 901 is particularly interesting. I noted this on a few levels during my last test run: Some Thou shall not pass (even with boosters and win streak) levels have a different set-up on our first attempt. That's pretty nasty fixing of the gameplay. But then, King can do what they like because they never claim the game is not fixed.
I will be very interested if you manage to make lots of gold again in the coming levels. When I played my last test game I got nowhere and stagnated at around 3000 gold bars all the way up to level 3000. I wondered if they have capped it.
So is the Alien event like the horrible Snowstorm event I complained so much about at the end of last year? I have this i my game and really don't want to play any new levels if that is what it is. Imagine having level 2000 replaced by one of these…
