A strategy for playing that works well but requires watching lots of ads

  • This morning I won my 1032nd Episode Race. I've mentioned in other posts that when I collect the winnings on my Android device, it is for 30 Gold Bars, but on my Windows 11 game, I receive 45. This has added approximately 15,000 additional Gold Bars to my account.

    Have a great day 😊

    hi Colleen companion Welsh,

    I applaud your progress.

    I continue to hit road blocks to my progress (level 16745). I don’t get many ads each day even though I have never purchased anything with money and even though I was getting lots of ads like 3 weeks ago. Add to that discouragement the few rewards I do earn watching ads or completing the gold pass levels don’t stay in my account.

    I’m wondering how many lollipops & switches you start a level/episode with. Also, is your new account connected to your FB or is it independent & you just used a different email to create your new account.

    I’m at the point where I think I will open a new account and start over, otherwise I’m just spinning my wheels and wasting my time.

    Thx for any tips you can provide.

    Hi @cwgames99 As it was me who originally advised on opening a brand new account I will contribute my method here:

    You need to delete the app. Note that if you wanted to ever return to your original game it's gold balance and progress is saved, the boosters will be lost when you delete the app.

    Then reinstall the app from the app store or from google playstore. You will start at level 1 and be prompted to save your game. It is important you save it on a new login. So choose a different email address and password to create a new King Account.

    That's it really. Once you have started to play use your experience and expertise to play your best game. Take advantage of whatever events the game gives you. Check out my tips for new players here:

    thx christinewupp,

    Since I play on my iPad, very seldom on my P.C. and I have a laptop that has a touch screen, I decided to create a new account on my laptop. Took awhile to update the app, apparently I played CCS on my laptop before.

    I created a brand new account & have completed 20 levels. I sped thru them without using any of the boosters provided. So I’ll see how fast I can progress, while monitoring my original account.

    I've just done the same and created yet another new account. I played up to and paused at level 35 now. Some of the perks don't show up until you reload the game. For example the episode race should start around level 51, but only if you close the app and then reopen it, otherwise it might show up a bit later. Good luck with your new game!

  • I use 15 to 20 lollipops per episode, sometimes more. I seldom use switches and only if I have no hammers. I will also use a hammer/switch several times in an episode to make a Colour Bomb / Colour Bomb combo if it can be done in one move.

    Sometimes I get to watch ads at the beginning and end of a level for extra moves and/or UFO but I also just view the ads to build up my boosters.

    When I set-up my new account with new email King Customer Care transferred my Boosters and Gold Bars but I did not have a huge inventory.

    My new account is not connected to Facebook. Hope this helps, have a great day 😊

    Wow, interesting that you prefer lollipop hammers over free switches, @Colleen Companion Welsh. I use free switches more than lollipop hammers. But since we get them in equal quantities from watching ads, I always try to use lollipop hammers where possible, and reserve the free switches for cases where the hammers can't solve the problem. Doing that, I am able to use them in almost equal quantities, but sometimes I do buy free switches just to equalize the quantity a bit, since I still wind up using free switches more.

    Also, if I can make a double color bomb combo at the beginning (and even sometimes later in the game), I am willing to do as many as 4 moves to accomplish it, if the level looks difficult enough that I might have trouble clearing it. 4 is generally my maximum number. If the level looks easy, I won't go more than 1 or 2, but if it looks hard, I'd rather use the hammers or switches early than find myself in trouble near the end. Since most levels don't require more than 1 move (often a hammer) to get them together, it all evens out and I find that even on the hard levels, 20 of each is enough to get through an episode race almost always.

    thx for your reply.

    I accidentally started a new episode on Sunday with 22 lollipops & switches each, managed to get thru the episode using gold bars for extra moves. I am still having the issue of boosters especially lollipops & switches not remaining in my account which has been going on for over two weeks. I am down to 12 lollipops & 11 switches & 90 gold bars, which is not enough to get thru an episode.

    I have opened a new account on my laptop and starting from 0 across the board. I’ll monitor the old account to see if anything changes.

    Thx again

    @cwgames99 , I've had fewer ads than usual for the past couple of weeks, but today they seem to be more frequent again. So it might be good to keep monitoring - maybe they will come back for you too.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
