If you care about budgeting, look closely at the Champions Race
King has recently changed the Daily Booster Wheel to allow you to spin multiple times per day as long as you keep getting spins. At the end of each Champions Race, you get gold bars, the best pin pack, and now spoons and a booster wheel spin! Sounds great, right? There's a catch: Champions Race provides 5 fewer gold bars…

Anyone else's ads *completely* disappear?
Tonight, my ads have completely disappeared from the game. No ads for extra moves, no Sweet Cinema, no ads to start with extra boosters, no ads for extra lives, nothing! Not even the ads to get extra gold bars from the Champions Race! I nearly went gold negative for the very first time, and the only thing that saved me was…

Why is the randomizer often much harsher in newly redesigned levels?
I'm almost at level 5,000. Starting from the early 3,000s, I've started really noticing some levels that were redesigned somewhat recently. They all go against some trends of the nearby levels. Unconventional color schemes are a dead giveaway, and so are checkerboard candy starting patterns. Sometimes, I notice a bunch of…

Remember: CCS is more "resource management" than "match 3"
Here are two levels that are only meant to be theoretically possible without boosters. Both are clearly intended to force you to use boosters or gold bars. Level 5058: Legendary, 19 moves An older version of this level was only Super Hard and had 20 moves with fewer blockers. It was originally level 5048 before the level…

Suddenly permanently(?) unable to watch ads for extra moves
In the middle of today's playthrough, I was able to watch ads for extra moves for exactly one level. After that level, those ads have been completely missing. I went about 1.5 episodes without ever seeing an offer to watch ads for extra moves. This is particularly distressing because my strategy relies on ads to keep the…

Remember your resources!
I present to you all my latest anti-flex, my biggest blunder in recent months: I used all my rerolls despite having perfectly serviceable objectives. Win levels on first try → use party boosters → use striped + wrapped boosters at the start of levels → use party boosters again The worst part? I easily could have completed…

Has anyone else suddenly lost the ability to watch ads for extra moves?
During today's session, I was able to watch ads for extra moves in exactly one level. For the rest of that episode and the entire next episode, I completely lost the ability to watch these ads. I never spent money on the game. Since losing those ads, I only ever had the option to spend gold bars on extra moves or use my…

Express Delivery messes with the randomizer?
Has anyone noticed that candy spawning luck is just… different during an Express Delivery attempt? I noticed a very stark contrast of "luck" in my recent completion of level 2,990. This is level 2,990. The striped candy, wrapped candy, and color bomb were from my ongoing timed boosters: Attempts 1 and 2: The randomizer…

What's wrong with the jelly fish?
I'm currently stuck on level 2,346: collect 15 yellow candies in 19 moves. There's a magic mixer near the bottom of the level. The only problem is that on my first three tries, the jelly fish always avoided the magic mixer. On my fourth try, the jelly fish went straight for the magic mixer 100% of the time for all 5 hits.…

Hey Baker's Box, keep the party boosters!
I just had a hilarious run of episode 168 (levels 2495-2510). No boosters used, no gold bars spent, and then: It's late at night. I'm too tired to play another episode. I half-expected it because I had one too few spoons to guarantee a Baker's Box completion, so seeing this happen made me laugh quite hard! Baker's Box, you…
