🚶🚶 Let's take a trip down memory lane!

1) I started playing CCSS about two years ago.

2)-4) I noticed an advertisement for the game, downloaded it, found it difficult and so I uninstalled it. Some time afterwards I decided to try again - and I'm still playing, partly because of the great Soda Squad to which I belong.

@FluffyDinosaur 1. I started playing in 2022 2. I found out about Candy Crush Soda Saga from a friend who plays the game a lot. 3. I started playing the game because I am often confined to the house and I needed a non physical activity to keep my mind occupied. 3. I found the beginning of the game when I signed up with the community and opened the app. It was easy. I find the game to be fun especially when I joined the community.

Thanks to you @Diamond_Lim @Pitty_Kitty and all the others for making the experience exciting and enjoyable with all the contests, discussions and events. 🐘

• First played Soda when Covid first hit in OZ and we received free 24hr lives and o checked out other King games, different to the ones I was playing. So heard about it through advertising.
• Characters were cool and the graphics fun and interesting.
• Game Play reminded me of a more up-to-date version of Crush so didn't get me interested on that angle. Although do like the Honey Bears and Jelly levels.
• Was put off by the constant changes to characters and the paint by numbers feel of the map screen changes also. Yeti changes were awful to look at and visually quite creepy at one point with the unkept, old mountain man look. Same when Mr Toffee went all black and white, loosing the Carnival feel. Felt like the Hanna-Barbera/ King feel was replaced with......something else of an unknown personality in conflict with itself?🤷‍♀️
• Was also put off by high competitiveness and multiple screenshotting competitions in the community. Although, after playing it recently, it feels more cohesive and I love Olivia being purple and unique. The map looks better but scrolling back levels is more difficult in this game. The layout and graphic changes are much cleaner and easier to see/ understand. Even the recent Community contests have caught my interest and the air about them is more fun.
• I do remember the Kimmy posted in this thread for the badge suggestion and the one with the funky glasses! I liked those, they were there when I first started playing. Today, I like Kimmy as the Detective and dancing in the Rainbow Glasses! Seems Kimmy has settled down a bit and is in a rhythm, so it's easier to concentrate and has a story now. Some great changes!
