Alien Invasion, All-Stars & other Lamentations of Candy POP Saga aka The New Adventures of Pyrolight

PendingPyrolight

Here we are again, new month, hopefully no alien invasion and a new plan. Also the title just fit haha.

Rules:

Extra turns allowed
No buying gold
No Hints
Must get to 66 with no lost lives
6 hour sessions, min 1 a day when possible (Try, but not required).
Rage less, crush more.

Notable stuff:

Episode race was a PITA to start. Did not want to trigger properly, news at 11.
Still not fixed the lack of the 3 UFOs and 1 Party Popper on Windows.
Level 55 for once was not a PITA, had 6 turns left which is impressive for that one.
Something I noticed on 128. If you hit the lemon drops with a wrapped or striped they will turn into striped candies. This does not happen once you have your quota for them met. Seems to be the only level this will happen.
New levels, no color swap.
My original avatar before I changed my picture.

Not to much else to say, went very normally. Maybe that is a good sign.

Welcome! 👋

Ah, that's lovely to see @michimune ! I did enjoy my marshmallows, they are indeed beautiful and any new mechanic is most welcome in the boredom that the game has become. Mine showed up in the 600s levels. It's good to see King experimenting with introducing them again, and so early in the game as well. Interesting !

Dear Christine,

I created a new account, replayed the game again and then found this beautiful marshmallow starting from the first level in the fifth episode, level 51, it is identical to your 601

Level 52 is similar to your 602, but it is normal not hard level, only 4 colours candies

Other marshmallows:

Next episode, level 66, 9 x 11 board begins:

Each episode has added a new feature.

I could hardly believe it. Just when I was thinking that King were giving up on this game here comes a new element, and I do think it's fun. I also like the pastel colours. I'm getting some other levels replaced by marshmallow levels, mostly some legendary ones. 640, 660, 680 so far. I'm curious to see where this takes me.

Whoa. Something new, and sounds fun. Haven't seen it.

Hey @PendingPyrolight Guess what I found when I reached level 600 with this particular (old tutorials first levels) game:

A fun new (test?) element:

Have you, or has anyone else here, seen marshmallow before?

I got five levels of it, they were easy and fun. After that the usual horrible jelly jar levels.

I'm just on level 517 on that game for now. I'm sorry I but now it's finished I'm not 100% sure but I think I did get Alien invasion in that game at a surprisingly early level, yes. I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between old and new levels 800-1000. I am on level 861 on the other game now, but that's the one that had the new levels and new colours as well.

PendingPyrolight

@christinewupp

Something I meant to ask. How did the game with the old starting levels go? Did you get far enough to see if you got the old versions in the late 800+ early 1000s?

Also is there volcanic panic or whatnot @287? Sorta curious if it is panic, alien or nothing.

They are after those with half a brain now. And also after the up-and-coming ones from Asia. I'm not suggesting these groups are connected or overlapping even. They are not. But those are the players who will spend money on this rubbish, and sadly not many of them are coming here to follow or read our posts, so King don't care what we say either any more, which is a blessing at least.

The two things that made it so much worse were:

Episode race ended @ around 18 hours or less. Basically if you play everyday and have a job you need at min 16 hours between your game time and that excludes anything else. So it dying under 24 is just insane.
Watching the special candies auto-explode. Dear lord I could predict when it would happen most of the time yesterday. Nothing more fun then watching a color bomb and wrapped line up and 5 seconds later when the rest of the candies fall into place the bomb and wrapped just go boom on their own. The other one is watching color bombs go off on the other side of the screen when nothing should have hit them.

Really it still shocks me they are pulling this nonsense in the 200s. I get the new theory that you can nickle and dime everyone instead of just going after the whales but that was 2021 when people had tons of cash.

That sounds grim. I've given up playing the game "as intended" now. It's a horrible, unpleasant experience. I'm putting Cornflower on ice and see if the King overlords will allow a player who saved up their gold bars honestly to participate in the next big leaderboard event. But apart from this one I'm done with that. Trying to beat the algorithms in other ways is all that is left now if you want to enjoy the game. King have made too many changes in 2024 and gameplay is just getting worse and worse. Forcing players out of the game before they reach level 300 cannot be a good idea now, can it?

PendingPyrolight

Well that is a 100% nope.

Day two was basically level after level with double boosters and 1-3 things left. The whole night… @215+…

Also 30min hammers broke again and clearly the section I was on expected them.

Give it 6 months or so, though might have been the last hurrah for me.
