Anyone on here play Candy Crush?

[erincon23]

181 has been holding me hostage for more than 2 weeks now. Posting in hopes that the "dis luck" will come through again.

And something that I just noticed: When you don't have any more matches and the game shuffles the pieces -- playing on the computer, the game counts that as a move and takes one away from you. But playing on my phone, it's not counted as a move and you don't lose one. So if you're having trouble on a level because you keep running out of moves (rather than time), try playing on a different device.

And a tip for 181 - the biggest help is matching a striped with a wrapped. The "orders" are off to the sides,and that combo takes out three spaces with one move. The color bomb with a striped is helpful only if you have lots of that same color down toward the bottom. The color bomb with a wrapped does nothing to help.

My wife loaded it on my phone and asks to "borrow" it for long periods of time. I'm not even sure why since she's got it loaded on her phone.

Is there some sort of lockout unless you pay for credits?

The game locks you out for 30 minutes after 5 tries but you can easily get around that by just resetting the time ahead on your phone.

In order to keep the game from correcting the time when you reset the clock on the phone, you need to exit the game while the map is on the screen.

I've been stuck on level 311 for ages. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped playing because it's boring to play that one over and over. I got to where I had one jelly left, but I refuse to pay .99 so I lost. Ugh! I hate this level.

Just today I removed all of my Facebook game apps: Criminal Case, Pearl's Peril, Candy Crush, Jelly Glutton, and Farm Heroes Saga.

Was spending WAYYYYY too much of my life waiting for energy.

I feel lighter and freer, but going through withdrawal after only 6 hours....

I was stuck on 65 for about a month. I then cruised right on up to 79 within a day or two & have a feeling I will be on this one for another month. I just need to walk away, but I can't.

OMG! I just posted this & went back to it for one more try & flew right on past it scoring first place! I'm shocked!

 

[wvjules]

Ugh another one stuck on 65.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I was stuck on 77 for a couple weeks. I finally got past it yesterday afternoon. I am dreading 79 already.

208 kept me there for longer then I want to admit -- I didn't think I'd ever get past it.

Great. I just moved up to 208.

 

[ICF]

Great. I just moved up to 208.

good luck! I think it's more about luck on that level rather than skill -- a friend just got done with that level in a few days. Hopefully you get the right pieces to move thru it quickly.

I am on level 275 now... hardest level so far. There are 3-move bombs that show up that are impossible to get rid of. IMPOSSIBLE.

Why do I keep torturing myself? It is quite pathetic how excited beating a hard level makes me... almost like I won the lottery. It's just a game!!!

Has anyone lost all their lives recently? I had about 40 lives/extra moves and a couple of days ago they disappeared and I had 0

I've been on 347 since June. It feels like people aren't playing as much as they were a few months ago.

"Borrowing" sounds like me. I'm not on FB but DH is. He's got the app loaded on his iPad. I found Candy Crush on there about a week or two ago and I've been hooked ever since.

Btw, DH was only on level 11 at the time and has only recently picked it up again now that I'm using it. He had to post on his FB account to his friends that he is not the one playing it, I am (that is until 2 days ago). A few friends didn't believe him. We're almost done with the Chocolate Mountain, so that makes us in the upper 50's (IIRC).

There is a way to get extra lives that I found on YouTube, but it involves forwarding your device's clock and then making sure to set it to the correct time before playing. DH won't let me do that b/c it will screw up some apps that he has set for certain times. So we're stuck with the initial 5 lives.

 

[wvjules]

Deleting then reinstalling the app gets you the 5 lives again.

 

[Jedana]

Oh no! Me too. Friends are even sending me extra moves now, which I never requested. I guess the system automatically requested them for me. Anything to keep me addicted. . .

But, get this, I'm pretty sure that twice I DID remove all the jellies and went way beyond the point goal of (I think) 120,000 points. So, unless the game is "broken" unless I BUY boosters, I should have won those rounds. I think I will take a screen shot the next time I think I should have won.

Took 2 tries to do level 65.

Just sayin'...

I reset the date/time on my iPhone, and it doesn't mess up any of my time sensitive apps.

1. Go to the Date/Time. You don't even have to change the clock.....just set the date forward one day. So if today is Aug. 21st, set it to Aug. 22nd.

2. Get out of the Settings on your phone.

3. Load Candy Crush. Confirm that you now have 5 lives. DO NOT play. (Just yet.)

4. Go back to Date/Time. Set to auto so the date goes back to current date/time.

5. Now you can play Candy Crush. Enjoy!!


* Really, it takes me less than 30 seconds to do this. And you're only changing the date/time for a few seconds. Very easy, and I never have to wait for my lives to replenish!

This happens to me every once in awhile. Just a few days ago I'd amassed over 250 extra moves/lives, and then last night, they were all gone!

 

[Frankiemack]

I'm on 375 right now....so hard

But I agree that the initial craze has died down a bit.
