js_sj Level 2

13330 is a joke but there have been many levels like this over the last few months. Agree the game is no longer fun to play. It used to be that a level like this would be once every 3-4 episodes. Now it’s 4-5 EACH episode and even most of the ‘non-difficult’ levels should really classified as hard. Complaining doesn’t…

The only advice is don’t waste your money and reward King for creating levels like this. First we’re going to have to play this a bunch of times to get the +30 moves (yawn) and even then I think it’s going to take at least 2 rounds for 70 extra moves (26 gold bars) and that’s only after getting a lucky start. Not even…

I wish I had read this first. I wasted gold bars, a hammer and a switch on 11473 without realizing there were jellies under the spawner. Fine if you want to do that but you can't fully protect it at the same time. Ridiculous. Not something I've seen King try before. A new low.

King finally eased up on some of the levels and I was able to finish the episode. I used what few boosters I had to try and continue my streak but once I was out I soon lost on 10797. Without any boosters at all it's a level that will require that lucky board but frankly I'm finding I'm just bored with the game and the way…

That must have been one lucky board on 10780 @Carol-38. First you have to clear a ton of blockers just to be able to start to break your 180 toffees. A wrap/stripe combo can be provided every 3 moves assuming you have the right lineup and can keep them together so the first time it comes up you're now left with 20 moves.…

It would seem that King and I are at an impasse. King has made ZERO effort to make levels playable. I'm on 10780 and there is no way you could convince me that this level is beatable without using gold bars to extend the game. I have never purchased gold bars and have no intention of ever doing it. Even if I did, it seems…

With the dreadful levels over the last few weeks and no action by King to make the levels passable, all that makes sense is that Activision is struggling to make their quarter which ends December 31. Guessing they have directed the King coders to ramp up difficulty and try to drive up revenue for this last month. We'll see…

Just too many frustrating levels for me. After exhausting all my boosters, 10705 isn't worth waiting for pure luck. Time to take a break except to check in daily and try to rebuild the booster bank. The past 2 weeks has been pure misery.

Dang - there goes my deluxe candy box streak. Only have 1 hour left to beat 6 levels.

Finished the second episode (thanks @Tzvi_Marcu). Definitely a few hard levels but enjoyed them all. Crown at the end of the episode is definitely gone - anyone else see this? Also, it says I'm 'qualified' for the All Stars event but when I click on the box, nothing happens.

I'm finding the second level a good balance of challenging and fun. 10344 is a bit tricky with aggressive and hard to reach spawners at the bottom. 10347 broke my streak again and it took a few extra turns to win it. Once again, getting wrapped/striped to fall in place is key to wipe out the bottom. 10348 another tough one…

Nice change this week with no unbeatable levels to start. Does get difficult starting at 10338. If you don't get a strong start there are a ton of blockers at the end and I had to use 2 space ships to keep my streak going. 10339 broke my streak but was able to beat it on the next one. Really need some luck for the…

Agree on 10279. How this isn't rated insanely difficult (much less a lower level difficult) is silly. By the time you can get the last key you're lucky to have 2-3 moves left. The push to get people to buy boosters is tiresome.

Agree with Michael-6. If you don't have the mystery candy booster, don't waste your time here until a fix is reported. This has been a common tactic lately - make the first level impossible to wipe out everyone's necklace to start.

I'm finding these levels the most miserable stretch in all the years I've been playing. Even levels that are not nated as difficult would on most other releases be labeled that way. Definitely not a fun run. I see it as just tempting people to throw in cash to get to 10K.

Not really sure what King's goal is on 9990. No where near close enough to even consider using gold bars to continue. Starting with boosters? Again a waste of time. Boosters will be long gone before the keys have been achieved and you have a chance to rack up some yellows/blues. Don't fall for it and wait it out.

Agree that 9108 needs a tweak. If you have UFOs left, you're going to need them here. Unfortunately I do not.

Finally lost my streak on 9104. For those of you that haven't played this level, the key is getting enough licorice. Stay focused on the top trying to create stripe/wrapped combos. By the time I realized this, it was too late. Also, if you have the special candy booster to start, use it!

Just finished the first race using a handful of hammers and a UFO (to save my streak). If you lose your streak it really changes how quickly you're going to get through the levels. I guess I was fortunate to get the tweaked 9088 and didn't find it difficult but also had a good board with 2 color bomb/wrapped candy combo…

Thanks @Albert_Heinrich !!
