Is Anyone Still Playing Candy Crush?

handygal2 — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 20:41:59 GMT

I am! Lol.

I used to pay a few dollars every month for boosters, but l've stopped doing that. I earn boosters by playing. I'm on Level 1359 in the original, and 340 in the Soda version. (I started that one much later).

They've gotten increasingly difficult and frustrating, but I'm hooked! I find them challenging, and sometimes they act as stress-relievers.

I've never played Candy Crush, but I DO play The Wizard of Oz, Magic Match. I really like it.

I played both and quit. I was stuck on some impossible levels and didn't want to spend money on boosters. I don't miss them.

Yes and I've been stuck on 145 in the soda version since FOREVER.Over a year!! Once in awhile I give it a whirl but it's a lost cause and I refuse to pay for anything extra. On regular Candy Crush I'm at 169 and struggling. A long time ago I was much further ahead until one day I accidentally deleted it off the I-pad, I was doing that wiggly jiggly thing to rid it of some other game and accidentally deleted Candy Crush instead so had to start from scratch. Have you tried Toy Blast? I'm enjoying that one and also Sugar Smash.

@handygal2

Never seen it, but am surprised you pay money to play? Why? There are so many free games out there, if you want to play games.

I only lasted a week or so. Lol. I like to play Bejeweled. It's relaxing. Candy Crush was too frustrating. I hated getting stuck on a level

@Tinkrbl44: I wised up and stopped paying after a few months. I've been playing for about 3 years, lol.

I must be the only person in the world that hated this game. LOL

I play Jewel King and I have played Bejeweled but I"m looking for more matchy type games like them. I also like the bubble burst ones.

I stopped playing but I always start back sometimes months later. I never pay only to unlock a level. I always eventually blast through the levels I am stuck on and I've been stuck on some impossible ones.

I've been stuck on Level 897 for @ 6 weeks and just can't get passed it. I'm about to give up.

I play. It calms me. I'm on level 782. I never pay to play; if I get stuck on a level for too long, I stop playing for a few days. It never fails that when I go back to it I beat the level within one or two tries.

I firmly believe that the APP programming was built to figure that out: if you're stuck, you are more prone to pay to move on. But if the APP can tell you haven't played for while and come back to that same level, it would rather keep you interested in playing by making it a little easier when you come back. It'still betting you pay on a future stuck level.

I played for a while but decided I just don't enjoy timed games. I like to take things slow and work out a strategy.

@January121: I play it on my iPad too. Maybe you could call your nearest Apple Store. If they can't help you over the phone, they may suggest you bring it in for them to look at. Just be sure there won't be any surprise fees for this!

I'm still playing. I'm on level 1556. I play a little almost every night. I hate the levels I get stuck on & have to play over & over. Some I have had to play so much I got sick of it. LOL!!! I'm not paying to play either. I spin the wheel every day. After you reach a certain level you can play games over to win boosters. They also throw in different games to win boosters so I play those. I received some free boosters from FB.

@gardensla: Although some of the levels are timed, most of them are not. I don't care too much for the timed levels either.

@LIndaMJ: If you google Candy Crush Level 897, you'll find suggestions and strategies to beat the level.
