    I'm not sure if it's better. How can you tell? We'll have to wait and see what the other players do as the week has only just started.

    Oddly I now have Ada in my friends list, currently playing at level 463. She finished on a score of 529 and beat my Piggy into second place. I'm not sure I would call that one a fair race.

    Very sorry - I made a mistake. I didn't realize the person with 45 levels at the top of your leaderboard was you (I remembered you had said you were waiting to play the levels, and didn't think about that of course you would have played them now that the new race has started). Obviously mine is not quite as good as yours after all.

    Still, it is encouraging to think I might have a shot this week at making top 3. We'll see, I guess.

    That thought hadn't occurred to me. Of course as you're not on my friends list you don't recognise my Poppy and Cornflower pics as easily as my friends would. I should have pointed it out really. My top competitor up to 10 levels now. It would be nice if King had maybe tweaked the event to give all players at the end of the map opponents who score less than 45. It will be interesting to see how you get on. By the way, have you noticed how the last level of each new batch of releases is really easy to pass? I have no idea why this is but it's especially noticeable this week. One benefit of playing the new levels early is that after you have passed them all replaying that last easy level every day will in fact count as your daily win. So it is possible to use this and time it so that you will get the Daily Win prize on the day you start next week's new releases.

    Level 1

    Can only agree with all comments. In my weekly race my opponents have 76 and 147 games played. So unfair, but not surprissing. I have seen so many things more then this, but they want us to pay more money.

    Oh wow, I had no idea about using the last level as a daily win! I have been going without wins every day for the whole week! Thank you @christinewupp for the pointer!

    In my game when I click on the last level it tries to take me to the Star Tournament, but when I use the X button it changes to the last level.

    Interesting - thank you for the pointer - I will try it soon! Also, I forgot to mention - yes, I had also noticed how much easier the last level seemed, and also the last level of the previous batch.

    The weekly race seems fairer this week: Both my speed crushing games at the same level also get the same opponent, now that seems fair, at least the game is treating us both the same this week….….🤣

    It happens to me every week: I have from two to four opponents who are the same in both of my games. Those who are on the podium usually accept friend requests and ask for lives (rather often), and generally behave like actual players. I am waiting to see if any of them will appear in the Friends Challenge. If they do, I will consider them to be real. I don't know if their recordings from previous weeks are used in the Weekly Contest, but King seem to have a remarkably narrow selection of players/recordings. I wonder why.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
