Hello all,

Our Game Studios are constantly adapting our games by introducing and testing new features, gameplay or concepts. The lives refill change is part of a test our Game team is running. No need for troubleshooting

I understand that you don't appreciate this change, and I'll be passing your feedback onto the team

I was told by the community moderator yesterday that it should still be working. So you can't get any lives? Well maybe the game is telling you to take a rest.

I've done this a number of times and it's not working but thank you for your help ❤️

Hey guys, for those of you who are showing that insane number of hours to wait until you get lives again if you are playing the game on mobile device try this.

Take the total number of hours showing and divide that by 24 and this will give you the number of days. Close out your game. Now go into your settings and move your date ahead that many days. Go back into your game and it should have it back to normal. Then go back into your settings and bring the date back to the current date. This always worked in the past and was told that it still works on mobile.

This is really crap. Think I will just stick to Gummydrop which is much more generous. Just trying to get us to spend money but I don’t do that.

Like many here, I’ve been playing for years. After being annoyed for 3 days with this new one hour thing, i’ve simply deleted the game. And like many I have endured irritating changes but this one is the cherry on top. No way King will milk my hard earned money in buying lives! Good on them if it works but that won’t happen with me.

Well said. Me too! I hate the way they try and manipulate players to obtain more money. If they were honest I would think about spending money but I will NEVER spend anything on a product made by King.

Not acceptable response you don’t test with everyone without telling them

Have King ever heard of functional testing? This is a technique where you test a crappy product on the production environment before releasing it into live. You DO NOT 'test' in a live environment. What this shoddy company is doing is using people as guinea pigs to try and generate more money.

I'm not getting any it's just counting hours I'm on 1800 hours but no lives keep contacting them but no one's helping somebody's messed up
