I finally give up! I won’t make it to 13,000
Giometta Castadiva · 25 Jan 2024
I’ve been playing this game since the beginning. I openly admit to my addiction (and you know that King). I noticed that the game has changed as others have, I now have to spend more $1.99 to finish a level. It seems that you’re calculating the number of attempts and shortening them so that only a player who has stockpiled tools or randomly receives some advantage can finish the level without resorting to paying money. I began noticing this after level 10,000. I really love this game but I think I can put it down now and walk away.
I know Candy Crush will stay around for a long time because it

’s an endearing game, but knowing that King has been sold to a big company where revenue is King, I’m going to step away now so I don’t feel like a fool for continuing to pay money.
The aspect of addiction represented by this game is not healthy and is akin to the slot machines in a casino. Inconsistent rewards together with color, lights, and random cute things, are a powerful and seductive trap.
As I let go of candy crush I noticed around me in the United States the pervasive Incursion of casinos, in fact I expect there to be at least one casino in every state if not more. I believe they’re going to replace malls, and as all of us are conditioned to the type of addiction that game like candy crush breed, yeah, Will all flock to those. And it won’t surprise me if the company that owns Candy crush now makes casino games… and so on and so on and so on.

Candy Crush Very Frustrating
Goldenmom12 · 7 May 2023
I do not get why a game is made to be no fun. This game is fun at first BUT it gets to where it is more frustration. Challenging is one thing but playing a level for days or weeks to beat it is absurd and no fun. The levels shouldn't be so hard to pass and from what I read in the reviews, a lot of people feel the same way. All these games are just alike. Start out fun but become impossible. Games are supposed to be fun and relaxing but I guess you never got that memo! I wind up deleting them. Think about easing up a bit please. And it still has the same glitch problems I wrote about before. Yo

u pass a level and it doesnt recognize it and you're sent right back. Or even better, I have paid for extra moves because one or two moves and I would finally be done with a level, something happens, money is taken and you're sent right back to start that same level again. Ridiculous! FIX THE GLITCH PLEASE!!! Finally bet a level I had played for several days, saw the sugar crush and thought yes this level is finally over only to have a glitch in the game and it didn't show i'd beat it and took me right back to the level I'd just beat and several days later- stuck again!!!!! This game is fun but losing its appeal because some of the levels are so hard and take to many tries and to much time to beat that it just takes the fun out of it and gets boring and frustrating. I know you are in it to make money and maybe everyone's comments don't matter. But this is a money pit. The wait time is to long between lives and you need to add more lives because you will be still ok in the money department. Make it more fun and ease up on some of the levels.

Unfair
Lynnm12 · 3 Jun 2022
I’ve been playing Candy Crush for many years and in the 6000’s level-wise. I’m also a member of the King Royalty program. I am not connected through Facebook. I am connected with my email. I’ve invested quite a bit of money over the years. Any time I’ve contacted King, they’ve always been fair in reimbursing me when the game malfunctions. 3 days ago, I logged into King. I was informed I had 2 gifts to claim. I claimed gold. A lot of it. Literally right after, my game will not load. My computer generated picture is gone. Events are gone. All my boosters and gold are still available. The problem
more
is, I cannot use the gold. In order to “play on” it prompts to use 10 gold bars. I get a “connecting” ring, and nothing ever happens. I’ve also received a “it’s not you, it’s us” or “no connection. Please try back later.” I’ve contacted King in reference to this problem. I’ve done every generic step. I have free space. I have restarted my phone. I have made sure the game is updated. King informed me that I would have to uninstall Candy Crush, and reinstall it. In doing so, I would lose anything I received for free. *cough cough* the gold bars I just claimed, and any boosters I’ve won. The only thing that would remain is what I’ve paid for. Uhhhh, no thanks, Vin (customer service rep). I will continue to complain and review this until my game is functioning correctly. It’s quite obvious to me what’s going on here. Guess being a LOYAL customer and paying into this game really has no real payout. What a joke.

I totally think candy crush is awesome love playing the game but!!!! I totally hate the pig bank thing when I very first started playing this game/app ?, you had to bye it to even use it but I had a miss happen with my phone that made me have to use a temporary phone for awhile so I put the candy crush app on the phone and tried downloading my game I have been playing for years now and was not successful with the download so I just started over from the beginning which was not the most awesome thing at all but I also thought it’s been years sent I started playing the game and wanted to see the
more
new update’s where add to it and they where very good like how now they give. you the pig bank with lots of gold bars for a bonus thing one receives while playing, I thought awesome they got enough people to complain about it or just got smarter but then you keep playing and it’s still a money taking piece of crap game that I ask myself why I let myself keep playing it and why I bought it so many times before in the past all i did was waste a lot of money my husband called it to my attention after we started the Apple share app that apple offers there consumers when they purchase their products and it’s called Apple share family plan that me and my husband set up for our family’s phone.
Now that I have went on for ever trying to give you guys some insight to what made this question come about and why it was not sooner?? because I didn’t think I was actually spending that much but that is a totally not true!! I love candy crush but not that much and, I will continue to play and hope you guys that change the piggy bank and gold bar thing thing will keep making it better for the true lovers of candy crush 👍

Candy Crush Scam
_slicknick2xx · 27 Aug 2020
Candy crush among many other games generate only whatever it wants to. If you don’t give the game money, it doesn’t let you win. If u got candy stripes or a candy bomb, if the game wants to, it’ll generate specific candies to use your specials at will. It’s a waste of time because in the end, at some point you will rage quit. The theme of the game and stuff is nice, but you get my point. One example of unfairness in this game is when I was on a level, I needed to get one ingredient. The striped candies were all in sap so I needed to get them out. There were two different sections that you coul
more
d make moves in. One had the majority of the candy, and the other had two striped candies, some peppermint barriers, and the one ingredient. So I proceeded to get rid of the barriers from the other side by using horizontal striped candies. When I was down to my last 10 moves, I only needed one horizontal striped candy to break the last barrier on the other side to get the ingredient. Yet the game proceeded to give me useless moves and candies. When I finally got the striped candy that I needed, then game generated sequences of candies to drop the striped candy all the way to the bottom, where it was then useless. I then only had two lives left which did not help me at all because the game didn’t give me the specific candies and sequences that I needed. I then proceeded to do this level over 20 times with no avail. By the time I started typing this review, I had just deleted the game after trying time and time again to beat the level. Sure you could download this game. You may even beat the level that I had so much trouble with. But at some time, sooner or later the game will rig you after all of your hard work.
