No longer able to exit an unstarted board without losing lives - Information and feedback

Dear community,

I'd like to share with you some information in regards to a god old known issue of the game:

as you may be aware, when we access a level, we don't use any move and we exit the level without playing it, we don't lose any life.

This behaviour was not intended since the very beginning and very soon, this issue is going to be fixed.

That means that, once it's fixed, if we access a level to check it out, we don't do anything and we decide to exit the level to go back to the map, we will be losing a life.

Thank you very much for your understanding 🙂

Have a delicious day and let's keep crushing!

Welcome! 👋

I have literally been playing candy crush for years now. Silently proud of my current level status (though apparently significantly lower than many based on comments of this page.) Anyway, hate this "fix". Lets talk business choices here. How dumb can you be? Many of your levels rely too much on a good order set up to be beat. I would have to be conservative when using my boosters because if they are randomly placed poorly at the start of a level they are as good as wasted. Im sure there are plenty like me who say I'll never spend real money on gold bars or even boosters, but we do. Every month. Sometimes just to pass that one godforsaken level we've been stuck on for days. Well, im out. I'll check back in January to see if your fix has been undone. Hopefully there are enough like me who'll bail to hurt to your bottom line and wake you up.

**EDIT: Rude** This isn’t a “Fix” I’ve been playing for years and am on level 5848. This makes the game really sucky to play. I hope you lose posts of revenue because of this “fix”. Tune to find another game to play.

Not happy! I never exploited it but rather I used it if I picked the wrong level by mistake or if I was looking for a particular level but forgot the number. Bad move King 😠

Wake up King!!!! 99% of these comments are outraged at your decision to remove the choice to back out of a level without losing a life, and I am also very upset. Your “fix” which is obviously an attempt to encourage people to buy lives is backfiring badly. I too will NOT play this game again until this decision is reversed. It’s going to be hard to make money from people who have turned their back on you!!! Plenty of other games out there to play.... (non-King games)

This is quite simple. I have always said if this ever gets "fixed", this is when I stop playing.

The ability to restart levels without penalty is the only way to get through the levels at a decent pace these days, especially with the stupid quantity released each week! No longer enjoyable. Bye bye.

Played for 9 years at 4377. I now haven’t played in days. This is a bad change.

I also dont don’t like that free spins when you watch ads to have more moves is gone. Not fun anymore

You took away everything from the game, yet I was interested in playing on the basis of this feature. The game has no future so I am leaving the game today, Level designers cannot be healthy people, they are emotionally imbalanced. Gby king

As I said last night, Simons Cat is a great game to get into. In the last couple of years I’ve spent the grand total of £0.00 and as a reward I’m currently on a 24hr unlimited lives period, no CC for me last night. Players are given coins to collect throughout the levels and there are bonus coins to play for too, as well as boosters too. King, please take note, this is how you retain players!

Only joined to say that I will be quitting after playing since 2013. I hope your greedy antics serve you well, bye Candy Crush!

The only way to revert this change is to make KING listen to us and they only way to do that is leave a bad review on the play / apple store.

So let's do it everyone add a review on the store and bring down the app score and reviews.

Worst decisions ever KING .. you should listen to your player ..

poetist

Well, this will stop my addiction to Candy Crush, because I will not spend money just to play a bad hand. Nope. I need options, but if King is going to take that away, I can give up the game. Since, it is not fun playing boards that offer no chance of winning.

Well that is the lousiest excuse I've ever seen. They kept meaning to fix it but gee just no time. Baloney. They knew it was there. They knew people used it. And then they figured out that hey, we MIGHT be able to get them to spend even MORE money if we take it away. This is complete bs.

Hi @dkc !

They are definitely misleading! This is not a fix! Fix is a wrong choice of word. There is nothing broken. All they were trying to say was Resetting the board is no longer free. It will cost us a life. I can't understand why they can't say it straight to the point.

Guys according to Sensortower the game have a lot of bad reviews yesterday after this bad decisions that the team made... Thank you King!

Android - What happened was the number of great reviews get down so much... Not the same as previous days!

Maybe they want to bring the numbers down somehow. I mean....level 8000? 800 is inconceivable to me because my mind has not expanded....maybe they want to level it down a notch and bring .. no I don't no how to say it and it probably doesn't work soooooo. Maybe the "fix" was a problem in some other way, that when fixed, it changed the ability to reshuffle. Maybe they didn't do it to stop the random reshuffling? Its interesting how it saves drafts of everything I type while I'm typing. Creepy. I'm scared of this technology. I write for everyone to listen. I'm not crazy! Ok goodnight

samixo

Didn't they learn when they took out the ability to replay old levels for the booster climbs? A lot of ppl stopped playing, I did for years. I'll probably stop playing again if they don't fix being able to reshuffle the board, they make getting boosters hard enough as it is, now this? Are boosters going to be cheaper then since they're slowly making their way to where the only way u can get boosters is by purchasing them? Bet not lmao

zaysha

Level 5727 here. Will be boycotting. If you wanted us to play this way, it should have been this way from the beginning.

androp

Seeing the dishonest way King so obviously rigged the wheel, something alone the line of this stupid change had to be expected to grab more money. Don't you know that the way to get more money is to make customers happy? I already took a one year sabbatical out of this game before. Seems like the last level I was (don't remember exactly because I closed the game already, it was 4800+) will be my last game. Even with the ability to reshuffle the board, some games are just impossible to pass without a lot of time and boosters. Without this ability, it is just way too difficult for what is worst. When people have to spend months to pass a level out of 6000 or more, it becomes too frustrating and they quit. I really don't see what Kind is going to gain from this unpopular move. Loyal advanced fans are going to drop in drove and newbies are not going to get addicted with the increased difficulty and the quasi impossibility to ever reach the end.

androp

Same here. If I can't set up the board as I like, I quit, and I almost reached level 5000 but I don't care. On the contrary I am grateful to King for having gone too far in greed and allowed me to spend my money and time to something hopefully more constructive than a game gone sour.
