I'm just looking ahead at what levels I'll be playing for the final round @MannyFae . Sorry, but in the process I found this:
Your plea to QueenB fell on deaf ears then.
😥
Oh, and this one has taken the frostings order away, so what's the point of all the frosting on this board exactly?
No, this game really can't get any worse now!
make it make sense, 15 levels but 11 are hard, super hard, or nightmare levels
Well I won't be here next year, so I don't really care what they'll do then.
This is just for your reference ⤵️
The development of the tournament in other King’s games:
The leaderboard will become bigger when a player advances up to next round before, now every round is a ten-player bespoke leaderboard even in the Final.
We can check the player card in a leaderboard before, now we can’t.
In the biggest event, we have to compete with all players around the world in several days, we will receive a notification of the highest score daily from a pop-up. Therefore in order to increase the revenue, perhaps the Stage 6 would be extended to several days instead of 24 hours and announce the ten highest score daily in next year 🤔
@christinewupp
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.
