I’m on day 3 of trying to beat this level. I don’t want to buy boosters but I have used my daily boosters, spin rewards, special candy rewards etc and cannot get it. If I don’t get it today it’s time for a new game. It’s just annoying.

This level is impossible. I have been stuck here and used my lives time after time. I've used every booster that was available and still no luck. When a level is this difficult, it is time to quit as it becomes just an exercise in frustration. Why go from 30 to 15. Why not 30 to 25 and determine if people are solving too quickly or even 20. This is not even listed as one of the nightmare levels. Way too hard!

Odd that when you post on here complaining about moves being halved, your luck suddenly improves. Do the same for lvl 1303 please, which has also been "tweaked"
The definition of "tweaked" apparently being half the available moves to force people into buying boosters.

Play this level on king.com; it still has 30 moves there. This is also true for any level that has been updated (minus anything after 2852 or whatever it is since that's when support was discontinued for Flash). King.com will have the older version of the level.

Another totally pointless level with moves halved to feed the developers greed. Sort it out or I'm uninstalling.

Hi @Ann_Rubenstein, @bonnie111 and @Charl1e65, although some of these levels do appear to be impossible with so few moves, I wanted you all to know that the studio monitors all the levels. They look to see how many players clear the level and how long it takes for them to clear it. Then sometimes they do go in and "tweak" it. You can read what our Community Manager wrote about it here: https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/249892/my-level-is-too-hard#latest

Sometimes the players have to use boosters to help clear a level so are any of you playing the Sugar Drop challenge to get some free boosters? You can get up to 13 free boosters every 8 hours. You can read more about it here:

I also find this impossible to do - getting really fed up of having so few moves on many of the levels. It seems I'm one of the ones being penalised by the new "tweaks" Think it's time I found something else to play as I won't play and pay!

So far I have not even come close. This has been going on for days. I wrote to the Candy Crush people and they basically could care less. They have created a Monster. Obviously they do not care if we keep playing. This needs at least 5 more moves. Possible 10.

Ann_Rubenstein

Agreed. How is this possible?

Hi Virginie,

Thank you for posting here in the community. You can read what Queen Mia wrote about this here: https://care.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/level-changing-on-candy-crush-saga-not-getting-the-same-amount-of-moves-as-your-friends

If you see videos online showing more moves, this is the reason. The videos are outdated because the video creators make them when the levels are first released. The studio monitors all levels when they are released and they check to see how many players clear a specific level and how long it takes for them to clear it. If it's too easy or too difficult they will "tweak" the levels a bit. The video creators can't keep up with the studio changes so you are still only seeing the first video release.
