My Mom has been playing for a long time and I was curious. I had played and given up on CCFriends because it was, in my opinion, ridiculously difficult. The frustration of having to hit the same thing 6 or 7 times to break through it drove me to quit. I had only played CCS once, a long time ago, but my progress was still waiting for me to load the app and pick up where I left off. So, I did. The game appealed to me because my brain likes to solve problems, it can see the big picture and how the candy should fall if I make moves correctly. Not every time, but a lot of the time.
My best friend sent me an invite at first I'd be mad with all the request and even delete people off my friends list because it was so annoying..but now I've become that person. I play when I can't sleep and when ever I can.... At my last job the boss would say get off candy crush and do something productive....
