Ah yes, the Sneaky Melon Duck, that was such fun. Remember Pyro changed their name to SneakyPyro-something and I quite enjoyed all those conversations we had about that glitch. I'll take a pause to think if I can come up with anything that feedback made better. My head is full of All Stars right at the moment so I'm struggling to think straight.
😂🤣 @christinewupp I am the last person to think that anything changes due to player feedback. I've left enough feedback over the years to know King will still just do, what King wants to do. As for my Season Pass, that had never actually changed to playing new levels, so I haven't had any thoughts on that whatsoever. Not really to do with this thread, but being as you tagged me, have I actually seen anything change due to player feedback. Only two things stick in my mind, one being the Milestone Banner, but that was years ago, they did give it back after so many of us kept going on about it, then they took it away again. The other being Player Card names changed to Sneaky Melon Duck, but that didn't actually affect the way we played the game, just another glitch in the system. Apart from those two I can't think of anything else. Now guess that would make a good title for another thread 'What has ever changed for the better, due to player feedback' 🤔
Please could we remain on topic in this thread. It is about anything that can still be made worse, not general complaints about stuff that is the same as last year. If you have any suggestions of how the game can be improved please post those elsewhere, thanks.
We are a third into the year now, so probably shouldn't be adding to this thread anyway. But whilst someone brought it back up to here I have a chance to recap and see if my predictions have come true……
Point 1.
Well they did try it and tried to push it hard. It didn't work. @Carol-38 might like to think it's because of player feedback. I kind of think it's probably because the computing side wasn't up to it, so they abandoned the experiment before All Stars, to make sure the competition runs smoothly. It will probably be reintroduced later on in the year.
Points 2 & 3
Not yet, but there's time still in 2026
Point 4
Slowly but surely. Give them time. They had to concentrate on All Stars first, so this will get the due attention during the later months
Point 5
Well, as in Point 4 it's a slowish process. One level at a time. Level 323 had to go in order to make All Stars "fair", others may have gone without me noticing.
Point 6 then:
So half of it has come true already. Prize Palooza leaderboards it is. The last round is still a 24 hour round, which is a relief. King could add that suggestion next year then, I guess. If there is a next year. King beat me fair and square with the multiplier tokens though: I had no chance of predicting those. Such a clever plot twist!
Of course many people would see point 6 as an improvement. It would make All Stars fair to all: No more complaints about cheaters running away with it. No more players coming from behind overtaking you by offline play to suddenly jump to the top of the leaderboard. No more players teaming up with room mates or worse, staying up for 72 hours to crush away to try and beat you to the qualifying place(s). All that is gone due to the AI and its multiplier tokens. It should be a quiet All Stars for Player Support, not much that Kingsley won't be able to handle.
It will also make the community a quieter place maybe. But that's ok. I'll be busy crushing four or five players into the final knockout rounds and try to get as many of them as I can into the last round by burning multiplier tokens. If I see Palooza style leaderboards in the final knockout rounds as well, which I would now predict, then with this new system I won't be denying anyone a qualifying spot by doing so leaving my conscience in the clear. And the angry mop won't return to hound me about it. And even if they do, we will all be too busy crushing to even come here anyway.
So that's all good…..
The last point about having hundreds of leaderboards instead of ten, that remains to be seen. Come April 7th we'll find out.
@christinewupp I know this thread is on a different page. I was just replying to @Munster .
You misunderstood my post. The invitation was to offer suggestions of how the game could be made worse, not better. The weekly contest has been exactly like this for the past twelve months. So this is no change from 2025. However, thanks for bringing my thread back to the first page.
@Munster This is my weekly contest. I agree with you. Look at this players wins and weekly stats. How does he have 246 wins but only on level 243. 😞
Make the weekly contest fair!!! Players on a higher level shouldn't be playing against someone on a lower level. I was against someone on level 210, who passed 98 levels in two days, but I was lucky if I passed five that day, and I'm on level 20890
Even though all tasks are new levels only, if the studio doesn't change your fun levels to other versions.
At least you can enjoy them whenever you want🤞
Actually coming to the end of February I am already thinking the game can't get any worse.
So now we have come to the point, with the latest chocolate boxes that require new level wins, and the new season pass, the point at which players who are stuck on a level have no longer the choice to get the boosters needed to pass the level they are stuck on without paying. So the only choices left now are to give up playing, pause playing for weeks, or to spend money.
The option to scroll back to old levels for any purpose no longer exists. Unfortunately even for those of us who are not stuck this takes the joy out of playing, because believe it or not some players enjoy going back to already played levels to earn a few boosters or some gold, because some of those levels are fun to play and we used to enjoy playing old levels to stock up on goodies.
The drive to make everything in the game new levels only has sucked the last drop of fun out of this game.
We also cannot help anyone in this community any more either @MountainMom . You might have noticed that every player stuck on any level is stuck on a Meltdown level. Those impossible levels have no solution and we have nothing left to advise them. This is a no win situation. People come here for help and none of us can help them. So we might as well all pack up now and find something better to do than waste our time here.
No, this game really cannot be ruined any further. It's impossible to enjoy. Full stop.
Off topic a bit but you still have the crowns/gold for first try wins, that is gone for the games I have started up recently. Do not like it
You can work with Season Pass/Season before Star Tournament expires, that's it.
Also Bakers Box is always set to end at Friday 10:00 CET so you still have plentiful of time to finish it once new levels come in (If you don't play them on Windows) or when you finish them all and play again the Star Tournament (If you finish them on Windows)
The new Seasons Pass thing is particularly infuriating if you're at the end of the game. Currently the Star Tournament is over, the chocolate box wants me to pass 18 levels on the first go (thanks), and the Baker's Box is slowly expiring. Normally I'd just work through the Seasons Pass while we wait for new levels; now there is absolutely nothing I can do.
The first one is caused by the rollback of the Widgets UI back to an older version. This also caused other side effects like widgets for events that have a reward to be claimed to not have a claim tag above it.
Unfortunately the widget for the weekly contest is not present with the old Widget UI on the map and requires the newer ones. I know because when the new ones was first introduced, the Weekly Contest widget was there but when it was rollbacked, that widget went dark until the new ones was introduced one more (In the old ones, widgets for events that have a reward to be claimed never have a Claim tag, unlike the new ones)
New suggestions:
Remove the widget for the weekly race so we can't see our progress compared to the other players.
Reduce the reward for watching an ad to a ridiculous amount, such as one single move?
And of course this one: Introduce multiplier tokens to be used at will during All Stars so that the event will essentially be a lottery by nature, though not by law.
So many possibilities I hadn't thought of…..
Anyone still here or have you all left and abandoned the sinking ship?
They could also be removing timed Brush and Free Switch (Non-timed available still) from Weekly Contest rewards (Including Podium Prize). This happened today.
Strangely, the first position now rewards 2 UFO instead of 1. 3 Lollipop have been added too and only 4 Colorbomb are given instead of 15,
I wish I remembered more about how that went down. I know I’d played it many times at that point because the initial 10gb was for a large amount of moves like over 50. The top part of the board had many opportunities to make strong-ish combos and so it seemed deceptively easy for a legendary level. I have no strong boosters, just a handful of hammers I get from playing sweet cinema every day and a bit of gold from winning episodes and chocolate box (typically I play with about 100 gold bars), I’m broke af but somehow manage an episode per day. And I’ve never paid a dime.
Regardless the 2 order blocks in the bottom corners with a “2” in each was a bummer. I was glad to be done with that level on the next go, and was careful to count chocolate. I’ll be interested if anyone has a similar experience.
King has not been helpful in the past so I avoid contacting them as it seems like an exercise in frustration.
Oh thank you for pointing this out. A chocolate order level written by the AI? That really surprises me. I gave up playing at 20,000 because I believed there would never be any more interesting levels like that. Thanks for the heads up.
Actually looking at the YouTube video I am a bit disappointed. It looks like the usual rubbish with order locks and probably it was unintentional to make it possible to not have enough chocolate to open the last. Normal play wouldn't create this kind of problem, you must have played a strong booster such as a party popper maybe. The 27 for the order are on the board, you just need five more to open one of the order locks. You were very unlucky to not have that much growth. Perhaps if you complain to King about it they might change the order lock down or add a layer of chocolate. I'm sure it wasn't their intention to catch players out with this one.
@christinewupp I thought of you today and your third point re chocolate when I got busted by said chocolate :0 I wasn’t paying enough attention to the surprise and wasn’t counting the chocolate At.All. It cost me 20GB and some embarrassment for sure.
Level 20809 (Legendary) was the culprit. When I realised there was no chocolate left to multiply but the game required more to complete the level (in hidden boxes in the very bottom corners) I was a bit mortified having to play out a game I’d just wasted gold on but couldn’t win. Sigh.
So heads up the chocolate is alive and well and hanging out where it’s not expected. Ouch.
Also, on my account I do not have the Events tab on Android and the season tab is present but on Windows, the events tab is strangely still present.
Te zmiany które zaszły od lutego zabijają tę gry więcej złych pomysłów nie jest potdzebne zagraliście możliwość gry ludziom nie grającym za pieniądze!!!! Słodkie kino stało się gorzkie!!! No może zmieńcie Nazwę!!!! Zabranie darmowych roszad(łapek) zmniejszenie ilości wygr. Powiedzcie po co mi kokosowe kule to mogliście zabrać mam ich ponad 3000 i po co mi ich więcej, skoro przeważnie występują raz na 15 poziomów. Więc licząc mam ich na 45 000 poziomów. Zmiany które zrobiliście są nie do akceptacji wysokie lewelem pouciekali do innych gier - o co chyba się prosicie
QueenB said:That feedback, including missing the Events tab as a single place, has been shared already
it's a foregone conclusion that eventually the events tab will be gone for everyone.
Given what QueenB has actually said there is still hope that maybe King will actually listen for once and support what their customers want
I still think it is a good sign that I got my Calendar and old Season Pass back
Whilst QueenB is very good at what she does we have past experience of CMs providing information that turned out not to be accurate.
Adverts not being deliberately removed being one such example.
I just hope that people with the new Season Pass do what I did and stop playing at the weekend. This is the best feedback to give to King.
Sorry @Alienscar but judging by QueenB's reply to me below it's a foregone conclusion that eventually the events tab will be gone for everyone.
Thanks for clarifying that this is now an definite change for everyone, sooner or later.
Hey @christinewupp 👋
The Events tab is being phased out, and instead events are gradually being placed directly on the map as their own icons. This version is being rolled out step by step, which is why not everyone sees the same setup yet.
The idea behind this change is to make events more visible and easier to jump into without opening a separate tab, but we also know that for some players it feels more cluttered and harder to get a clear overview. That feedback, including missing the Events tab as a single place, has been shared already.
I’ll make sure the comments here about visibility, organisation, and what players expected instead are passed on as well. Please keep calling out what works and what doesn’t, it really helps when we can point to concrete examples like this.
It’s a nightmare indeed @Nobody1 Nevermind that all of my saved switches “disappeared” recently. I passed 20,000 just before xmas and took a break for about 10 days over the holidays. When I logged back in, all my boosters EXCEPT the pink wheel were gone. I know TPTB say boosters are saved to devices but if that were the case then my boosters (around 600-700 hammers and hands each in my last screenshot just before I logged out) would not have vanished. Funny that I was left with about 3000 pink wheel however. Make it make sense. (There’s no way to make that make sense j/s)
Undoubtedly not just you @christinewupp but just your groups turn.
You and a lot of other people didn't see this change back in Oct 2025 when me and a lot of other people first received it.
I could be wrong but I see it as a good sign that I have lost this feature whilst you have received it. If I had kept this feature whilst you had received it I would be concerned that it was being rolled out to everyone.
I have this change in all four accounts now @Alienscar. After reading your comment I opened my Cornflower account. First login I still had the events tab and the normal opening page. I closed the app and reopened, on my second login the Meltdown logo loaded and then the new season pass that replaces the event tab. This cannot just be me? All four of my accounts are seeing this!
That's hardly a new change. This was introduced exactly one year ago, at the beginning of 2025. This thread is meant to be about what can still be made worse in 2026.
I have it in three accounts suddenly starting today, after making the update. This lead me to believe it must now be universal to all players as from today.
Is this now a permanent change for all? WHY?
As above @christinewupp the New Season Pass that replaces the Events tab doesn't seem to be permanent for all as I got my Events and Season Pass back
how about make weekly races even for all players?? players in higher levels should NOT be playing against lower level players. I'm on level 20635 but I'm racing against someone on level 114, this player passed 83 levels in one day, I'm lucky if I pass five levels. Last week, I lost against someone who passed over 500 level, while I was stuck on one level for two days… It should go back to us playing against our friend's group
OOPS, I forgot this one:
They could remove the events folder altogether and replace it with a new Seasons Pass icon….
Just what we all wanted:
So much for our feedback @QueenB . Remember this feedback thread:
There is a lot of off topic stuff in there but I have counted 33 different players complaining about the missing events tab. Is this now a permanent change for all? WHY?
Does it work with Star Tournament or those players are out of the new Season Pass. Otherwise, the new Season Pass will be unachievable without new levels on the map (Or in the next case the new ones won't appear on accounts without levels)
Ah yes, I forgot the gold bar and boosters caps! Nice point.
There are no longer any levels which require players to actively allow chocolate to grow. Some of the levels where chocolate is used as a blocker have had chocolate replaced by frosting (e.g. level 8105). I believe this is because the ability of chocolate to grow makes it too hard for the programme to control level outcome.
10. 100-150 gold for 1 click level wins.
Is chocolate being erased? I thought they had just moved it to higher levels. I'm around level 10000 and I still see it often.
Even if I do rack my brain and think of something, I wouldn't post it @christinewupp King would be clapping their hands that we'd put something they hadn't thought of.
Aah if that's the case, I would like to say wouldn't it be awful if they put Don't feed the Annoying Troll back to playing any level. And wouldn't it be awful if we got a map scroll down feature 🤣
#9 would be truly awful, michimune!
And your suggestion that already happened is one of my worst nightmares, myname_wastaken. Thankfully I didn't see it yet as of yesterday; I really hope I never do.
7. Have gold bars cap and boosters cap.
8. No cash prizes in All Stars
9. No Christine's comments in the forum 😂
Number 1 is already in the testing phase @christinewupp I had the new levels only Season Pass for two months. Other people are getting it now, so look out
2. There have been complaints about the number of lives sent/not sent since the friends feature was first introduced to Facebook years ago. There is an ongoing class-action regarding missing lives that was started in 2015. Doesn't matter if AI is involved or not, King will always control the number of lives sent/received.
They could take away the hand/switch reward in sweet cinema and change it to 10/16 opportunities to get a reward instead of 12/16. Oh wait that just happened 😑
Why?
#1 appears to have happened to me today. I have the new quests now, and they only seem to count on new levels. Great progress on your list already!
