I get to the velvet rope every week, and I really think I will quit this time. It's just not fun any more.

✔️ I understand your frustration...trust me, we all get a little discombobulated when something in the Game isn't working as it should.

Please check your accounts if you have had similar problems.

So, they're now making changes that serve no other purpose than forcing players to buy more boosters rather than earning them through play, and ramping up the frustration level to waste people's boosters. When I played a lot and I was in a depression I sunk more money into this game than I have into AAA titles, and still I have to put up with shenanigans like this from King. I have gone through my whale phase with this game, and I think I deserve a break if I just want to play without being completely beholden to the developer's cash-grabbing whims.
The new Chocolate Box today let me play 3 challenges. 3! That's not even enough to finish one box! Seriously!
And they have trained this community to react to any criticism with scorn and bans and removal of posts?! What in the everloving...
A warm hello to our forum veterans and a warm welcome to our forum New-Bees.
I understand that everyone wants to discuss the upcoming changes. Please feel free to do so. We are all players here, including myself.
In fact, I lost my build-a-bot a long, long time ago. It was upsetting for me at first. It forced me to change my strategies in the game. It made it more challenging. Yet it didn't take away from a lot of the enjoyment that I had in simply playing. Change can be difficult to accept, but it is always possible to adapt. We often come out better on the other side and find we have received something better in exchange. 🤩 We are Crushers, after all. Puzzles are our thing.
Here are the Community Rules for Posting. I can tell you that respectful, responsible, and on-topic discussion is welcome. You may see posts get removed, but the most frequent reason for that is that they are not written in English. Please note that our rules require us to write in English only.
Thank you everyone for your help. I love being a part of this Community because we are friendly and respectful, and we all are passionate about our games! 🥰🍭🍬🍭🥰
Thanks for the update. Gosh, there are some strong reactions here. Please remember everyone this is a game which we all choose to play. If the game is no longer fun, for whatever reason, just walk away. I'm hopeful, however, that CCS will remain a great way to spend my time. 😍😍
I saw this day coming and no one should be surprised. Ever since the Great Board Reset Debacle of 2019 there have been changes that affect the gameplay and frustration level in a sadly negative way, especially for the most loyal and longest running players.
I haven't been playing nearly as long as so many people that I've seen posting here. I left the game for a very long time because it was so difficult to pass levels without the aid of boosters that had no way of being accumulated without spending money; something I didn't, and still don't, have to throw at a game.
I had no idea how many different "features" this game had, that it could be played on multiple devices, and that no two devices have the exact same game features. None of us know what we are missing because we've never seen some of these features.
If King decides that they want to increase the difficultly and reduce the ability to play by removing the ONLY way that some of us have of mastering levels without throwing our device at the wall, they really need to find a way to give players a FAIR fighting chance to succeed. Right now the playing field is out of balance. WAY out of balance. Every player across every platform deserves to have EVERY feature and event that the next player has... There is no good reason for why it isn't that way already.
I love playing this game and helping other players when they need a little direction, a different point of view. I love it when someone passes a level and comes here to post about it with joy. I don't see that happening as much as I see venting, complaining, confusion over how something can just disappear after being part of the gameplay for years.
This announcement makes me sad for the future. I know I wouldn't be where I am in the game today if not for the Candy Pet and the Booster Bot. I diligently perform every task possible to accumulate boosters because it's all I've got. I cannot pay to play this game. The reason for that is no one's business but mine. I don't enjoy having to stop playing levels to advance so I can spend extended amounts of time on levels I've already played, over and over and over. It's not fun, it's required! It's time I'll never get back!
I can only hope that these upcoming changes include IMPROVEMENTS and synchronicity. I hope that this isn't a plot to have the "free" players to leave because they are draining resources that King feels should be directed at "pay-to-players". The ad videos are something that drives revenue, keep people playing, and should be available to everyone. Not everyone can pay to play this game but they all have to shop for things and are more likely to spend money there than in-game.
I will hold my breath just like I do every week when an update arrives. I'll have to hope that the game doesn't become completely impossible to play, it's already difficult enough. Just because a software program deems a level "passable" does not mean it's REASONABLE. Several hours of trying is enough, several days-weeks-even months of trying is uncalled for.
