🍬🍭 - Is the Infinite Lives hack bannable? - 🔨❤️

Hey everyone! 👋

So I’ve been using this infinite lives bug for a while now (I know, it’s been around for years 😂), but I’m starting to wonder... is it bannable? 😅

I get that it’s not exactly a hack in the usual sense—it’s just a glitch, right? But do you think it’s something that could get us in trouble if we keep using it? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve seen mixed opinions on it, so just curious if anyone else has thought about this or knows if it’s against the rules. Let me know what you think! 🍬

Welcome! 👋

When I lost all lives and then pressed ANY LEVELS on map, the fish boat would appear daily before, pressed the (Keep playing) I could earn some timed boosters and enter into the level I pressed directly. If I passed it, I could earn the lives. Therefore I would scroll back the map, pressed and re-played a must-win level to get the lives. But now the fish boat only appears on the last failed NEW level only, this means I must use this difficult level and cannot get the extra lives easily 😔

Taking this screenshot cost me the chance of getting five lives🙁

If I don't want to use the option of fish boat, I can force closing the app and will not waste this daily offer. It will not lose if I don't press (Keep playing) even though the fish boat appears.

Similar situation in Daily Treat Machine, it pops up automatically every day when I open the app. I press (Start!) to see what boosters are offered. If it is a timed UFO or other useful timed boosters, I would force closing the app before I press the (Claim) until I want to use them. As the offered boosters are fixed, so I CAN get the SAME useful timed boosters again.

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying here, @michimune. I have always had to pass the same new level I just failed, in order to get the extra lives.

Since the Star Tournament levels get this bonus lives offer, I’ve replayed and passed an old ordinary level a few times in order to get the timed boosters, but I never got the extra lives for doing that.

And by the way, I know you have to press the ‘keep playing’ button immediately (eg don’t leave the screen in order to buy boosters before accepting), but I now found out that even taking a screenshot, as I just did, causes you to lose the offer. Taking this screenshot cost me the chance of getting five lives🙁

If we baidu the key words of first post said, I think she didn't talk about going to the future.

She would be use another account to give lives herself infinity.

It's Baidu not Google😆

We can play fish boat at any levels before, therefore we can certainly win the extra lives by scrolling back the map to a must-win level. Now we must play the fish boat on the last LOSE level😔

And Tiffi in her fishing boat has been more generous lately, giving five extra lives instead of two for passing at the next attempt. I haven’t noticed anyone else commenting on this so maybe I’m in a test group but for once I hope it lasts.

I am not sure what you mean by infinite lives hack. However if you mean just turning the clock forward it's not really an infinite lives hack nor does it give you infinite lives, only fills your lives to five. King know players use this method of course and have been trying to stop players from doing this by various methods.

The main method to counter this cheat is the dishing out of timed rewards from events such as from winning the weekly contest, the daily stamp and the 15 minutes timed UFO that is now on the daily spin and the timed starting boosters we get from all the events and from the pin sparks as well. All these timed benefits are what makes the game fun for me, and these will disappear if you go to the future to get more lives, so that alone I think makes this particular method unusable for me, and pointless. There are also timed events like "Don't feed the troll" that counteract the "cheat" directly as you will run out of time on this event if you go past the 45 minutes it allows.

Another way King penalise players using such methods is by taking away lucky boards from the hardest levels. It no longer matters how often you replay some levels, they will always be impossible to pass without boosters for so many attempts that if you get infinite lives all you will achieve is death by boredom.

The whole of the game now is designed around keeping a win streak: super charger, Candy Royale, win streak boosters etc. Also legendary levels definitely are only now passable if you approach these levels with starting plus win streak boosters and try to pass them on your first attempt. So I never quite understand why anyone would actually run out of lives now with the way this game has changed. The game gives players so many incentives to pay to pass levels within five attempts, including the fact that it only takes three fails to get +25 moves plus a UFO to bypass a level for 10 gold bars. I cannot see why anyone would even want to refresh their lives to replay any level more often than that. There are also the offers from the train and from the fishing boat after we fail repeatedly, all of which are timed and can only be used if you get more lives from friends. So that is what I recommend players do to get more lives: make lots of friends and use those as your extra lives. It is a much more effective, enjoyable and cheaper way (in gold usage) to play.

If you want to use a cheat to get more lives then you won't get banned, but it's definitely not for me or something I would recommend if you want to enjoy playing the game. Also beware if using this during a live leaderboard event as the event might disappear if you aren't careful with your timing.
