Candy Crush Saga Level 1628

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1628 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 1628 is a timed level, a hard one. You have to get 60,000 points in 2 minutes which is made harder by the restricted board at the start.
Take a few seconds to study the board before you make a move, it will pay off later.
To begin with the moves are very restricted, so make whatever move you can and get the keys if possible. It doesn't really matter if the keys get eaten by the chocolate because they will still unlock the UFO and that will help clear the chocolate and give you quite a few points.
You don't need to set off the UFO during play, it will be detonated at the end of the game and give you the points anyway, best to use the time to make special candies and combos unless the chocolate is taking over in whgich case the UFO will clear it.
You may find starting the level with a colour bomb helps if you are struggling.

Agree not a difficult timed level need to clear the centre then attack the keys, ufo helped a lot in clearing the chocolate. Second attempt.

Anonymous said...

I concentrated on getting all the keys to release the UFO as it seems unlikely you would get enough points otherwise. Took three attempts.

Bill. said...

Get the keys quickly and the Ufo's. Relatively simple level here.

Not easy! Playing on iPhone and I have to reach 60,000 but it looks like everyone else has to reach only 18,000!!!! Why is that?

Anonymous said...

Android is 60k too. The most I've managed so far is about 30k.

Anonymous said...

I finally got it but it wasn't easy. Always started with a color bomb & finally after about 15 tries I got it. Have to move fast to get 60,000, not as slow as they show on the videos where they only need 18,000. Frustrating! Good luck ��

Anonymous said...

I didn't find this easy, either. It requires 60,000 points on iPad, as well. I tried boosters twice and only reached 40,000. So I tried without boosters and reached 52,000 plus and used gold bars to extend twice to be done. I hate timed levels and there are TWO in this episode. Diane

Timed levels stink. I was drawn to Candy Crush because it's a game where you could take your time. Either they've run out of ideas or they're just being lazy.

On iPad and android 60,000 points needed in 2 minutes. Played numerous times and the closest I've been able to get was 50,000 twice.

Anonymous said...

Definitely don't play on mobile. I tried it on Android and iOS and was not even close to the 60,000 points needed, but on the computer, only 18,000 points needed and when I tried this level on the computer, I got it easily on the first try, just by making combos and ignoring chocolate and the UFO, which was released when the keys were eaten by chocolate. I did get a colour bomb late which I left until time ran out, as that seems to produce more points when these things are set off at the end. I got almost 40,000 points, which was the range I was getting on mobile as well, but the difference is that on the computer, it was way more than the number of points needed. Definitely play on the computer.

On my second try I got 59750..so it must be easy no need for extra moves. Well 30 tries later and I finally paseed it. The key is color bombs ..the number of color bombs at the end of the game. I had 3 and let the time run out rather than to explode them. Of course making 2/3 color bombs ain't easy

Zenith said...

I also got almost 60,000 on my second try...but never came too close again after that.

No point in playing on mobile when it's an easy level on computer. Easily passed it on my first try when I switched over.

CC from vero said...

Thank you Zenith!!! Had bern trying on mobile for hours with no score coming close!!
Read your tip about computer and 1st try passed!! Thank you hun!

Anonymous said...

My Android required 80,000 points.

Anonymous said...

This is BS!!! Some of us only play on mobile. Why are we penalized by having to get more than triple the points? This game gets less appealing by the episode. I'm starting to HATE candy crush.

Anonymous said...

CC is so unfair. Could not get anywhere close to 60,000 pts. on iPad. Got it first try on desktop. This is bullshit for mobile users.

Bill. said...

Played on PC and passed first go! I hate timed levels so I was expecting the worst and just like that I passed. I was so surprised I thought it must have been a glitch but PC is obviously the way to go judging by the comments above! Stop complaining about having to get 60000 points and just play the level on a PC people!!

Anonymous said...

Why is it on iPad you have to get 60000 points in level 1628 other devises only require 18000 points , please get this sorted as I'm not alone saying this is impossible to do on iPad , thankyou

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the tip not to play this level on mobile. I tried it on IPad several times and got nowhere near. I played it on PC and got 51,340 points 3 Stars well over the 18,000 needed.

Anonymous said...

Anyone else having problems with the games freezing? I quit playing the new games because of it but the sugar crush games are freezing as well. Get to the end of the games and it freezes. Have to start all over.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, the levels keeps freezing at the end. Closing all other apps before starting cc doesn't make a difference. I really hate it when I finally used some boosters and passed, then it freezes and doesn't give me credit or give back the used boosters.
I'm kind of tired of the bad coding. Their coders should test for memory leaks before releasing a level.
I, too, play on just an iPad and this level is different than the one shown. I'm not gonna waste boosters. I'll just play lower levels for boosters and wait until they fix this level.

myrabug said...

Played on PC and passed it on the first try.... only needed 18,000. I hate the timed levels but this one was pretty easy. (with the right board)

Bill. said...

1st try using the play on PC advice!

Thank you folks. 3 stars.

JB said...

Cannot get close. Most is 40,000. Even with wraps and choc sorinklies matched

Posting for luck. I hate timed levels anyway and I'm not near a laptop so I guess I'll just wait. I'm really sick of the extreme differences between PC and mobile. It's maddening.

Anonymous said...

Where is 18 k and 60 k? Does King know that many people have only iPad It is too much. I am also getting 24 k as Cookie gets in the video. Pl do something. Have concern for us.

Catgirl said...

60k! Are you kidding King? Managed 12k on iPhone... Lol

Anonymous said...

Stopped playing cc and kept my iPad away. I am sure it is not easy 60 k in such timed level with such limited board. King change to 18 k please like other devices

Anonymous said...

I got 59400 on iPad. So close. How can I play on PC? Is there a way when I don't have facebook?

Anonymous said...

First try on android I was 400 points short of the 60K. Couldn't get close after that. First 2 tries on the PC were pathetic, even with a goal of 18K. Then I got a lucky board and won with 64K. I hate timed levels!

Anonymous said...

After many days got stuck with iPad and planning to give up suddenly got 80 k and passed. Wait for lucky board it is doable.

Anonymous said...

I really like this blog... Find it very frustrating that depending on which device you play on there is always different requirements... Equal games for equal devices is what CC needs to do.

Anonymous said...

I contacted King.com to ask about the 60,000 vs 18,000 pts & Caroline said she would report it to the tech team. I wish more people would do the same. I cannot pass this level. I've only been able to reach scores in the 30,000 area even with boosters.

Anonymous said...

Please contact King about this as I have done. Maybe if they hear from many of us they will fix the discrepancy.

Anonymous said...

Well obviously they made it harder some time before I got here. 60K required on PC and iphone. Ms. Cookie needs to update this level and show hints and videos for passing it now. On the vid the player only gets 25000.

Anonymous said...

Yep, 60,000 on the PC.

Anonymous said...

Played 5 times all 5 times cleared the board including time adders, best score 28K - and that was using two boosters. 60 K seems very unlikely, I guess King just wants peoplle to play for luck and not skill.

Anonymous said...

Just curious...lhow do you contact King? I agree with a lot of other players on different requirements for different devices.

Absolutely CRAZY on the IPad!

Tamijay said...

Thanks for the tip, Carlton (April 13). Played many times with no luck, then managed to make 3 colour bombs, which I left on the board. After I ran out of time, my score went from 16,000 to 68,000. Yay! Done this level.

Anonymous said...

I'm on a PC and need 60,000 points. I don't know where 18,000 points come from

Anonymous said...

This is crazy; I needed 60.000 points to pass this level. Yet two people who passed it before me had a lot less. One even 18.000+. What is King doing to these levels? Grace from DU

Jennifer said...

Agreeing with everyone else - stuck on this level and 60,000 points seems very unlikely. The board hardly ever gives me any +5 candies, and even if it does, I don't even come close.

Wanda said...

getting ready for therapy on pinched nerve in shoulder...this level doesn't help things :(

Anonymous said...

Again, my number one pet peeve with CC - changing the game after it has been released. My second pet peeve is with this blog not updating the video when the game changes. Show us how you can beat this with 60,000 points! Rant over! I just beat this stinking level after numerous days and wasted boosters. My strategy - go slow. I pretended it wasn't a timed level. Once I did that my average score inched higher. Today a sprinkle formed early and I maneuvered a color that was the most dominant on the board beside it and switched them. That took out the chocolate. Then a little later another sprinkle formed and I did that again. Finally - and by sheer luck - another sprinkle formed and by using a hand switch, I got a wrap beside it. That brought the score up to 59,500. I had several seconds left and by just making regular combos I finished with 64,000 points. I HATED every second of this level.

Anonymous said...

I have compained to at King about the difference 16.000 or 60.000 points. Thats not normal.

Anonymous said...

This is one screwy game. I have someone ahead of me who got it with 41,000 points. The game says clearly 60,000. On the PC, I can't get more than 15,000 points on my iPhone I can get 30,000. This is going to take a long time to do. This is not a fun one at all. There are often only 2 extra 5 seconds which does not help as you usually cannot get but one of them. I am reading the comments but why can't I have 43K??? These games are getting crazier and crazier. No skill, just waiting till the luck one comes along.

sprocket2 said...

I too switched to my PC after reading some of the comments. Should have finished reading as King has changed the game there and that's 60,000 too. Back to my phone because I can play easier on than that on a computer for some reason. After a lot of tries I decided to use the boosters available. On my third try with boosters I used the color bomb to unlock 2 of the keys. This also removed some of the chocolate and opened up the board a little. In the resulting cascade the striped and wrapped candy were set off accidentally but that opened up the middle of the board and got rid of the remaining chocolate. Once the board was clear of blockers and chocolate there was space to make special candies. I only ended up with a little over 64,000 points but I'm good with that. I think the boosters really helped if you have some to spare.

onlylisa said...

I was ready to quit on this level because I wasn't getting close on any format and boosters made no difference.
Finally got a lucky board.

CCAddict said...

60000 and freinds winning the level with under 30000 RIDiCULOUSLY UNFAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting nowhere near that !!!!!!!grrrrrrr

Anonymous said...

With arthritic fingers and cornea transplants one is not able to see fast enough or move quickly to obtain this hi score. Boosters seem useless since there is usually only one move before it reshuffles. Ned the grandkids I guess

Anonymous said...

I can pass this level with more than 70,000 points. No any booster. One rule of playing CC is you must keep on playing.

Anonymous said...

Well aren't you good Anonymous above me. A lot of us are having trouble with this level now that it has been changed to make it a brutal level as punishment for not being ahead with everyone else. I am sure we will keep playing CC as you so advised us so if you have any tips on how you got more than 70000 points please share that with us instead of gloating about your success

Unknown said...

The CC hosts decided 18,000 was far too easy so they decided to really make this brutal by increasing it to 60,000. I've played the level at least 100 times and have only broken 40,000 once. Boosters are all but useless unless you randomly get a colored-ball with a wrapped candy which they probably set up to make sure you don't even get it randomly. I usually will give this type of level a month but if I don't hit by the end of June, I'm done with CC.

Anonymous said...

Having a hard time with this one, finally came close, only needed 400 points, cc couldn't just give me that during the cascade lol

Anonymous said...

I've had it. this game now sucks big time.

Joosy said...

What the hell?? Why is it only 18,000 points on the video? I have 60,000 on PC as others have to get on android etc. How does King get away this? Oh, I know, because we just keep on playing. I too will contact them and complain.

Anonymous said...

Well of course Ms Cookie says it's an easy level. She only has to get 18,000 BLOODY points. I'm playing on a PC and have to get 60,000 points!!!!! Really fed up with the inconsistencies in this game.

Anonymous said...

Wow...60,000 pts? For real? Easy Level, for real? I can't even get to 30,000!!!! This is suppose to be a game to relax by, but thinking about finally giving up on cc.....Don't even care to play it anymore...Maybe I'll finally get some housework and yard work done. VERY FRUSTRATING

Anonymous said...

Hi, Tchaik here. I'm playing on a PC (60,000 points) and can't get close. Agree with all comments that this isn't about skill or even entertainment; it's about mind-numbing habit. I do think King has run out of ideas.

Noticed a few people here saying they've contacted King; please could you tell me how to do that and get through to a real human? Whenever I've felt moved to use their "Contact Us" form, all I ever get is an automated email pointing me straight back to where I came from. So I can't even report glitches (not there are any with this level - it's just rubbish!).

Game at 60,000 is almost impossible. I even exploded a candy with a wrap and got no were close. Most I got is low 50,000 after playing 150 times. Time to sit out and wait for point score to be reduced

plz fix the bug or whatever...60,000 is not possible in 2 min

Have been on this level for three weeks and can not get near 60,000! Love this game but if they can't level the playing field I'm done. Use to look forward to the challenge, but now I feel like it is a chore instead of fun.

Anonymous said...

Finally a level that will make me give up CC. I like a challenge but can't even get close to 60,000 points in this game. If King would lower it to 30,000 it would still be a challenge but doable. Boosters don't seem to do that much good.

Lynn in Texas said...

On my laptop it's 60,000 and can
t get close. If the game was fair and everyone had to get 18,000









It's 60'000 on my lap top, can't get close. If it was fair and everyone had to hit 18,000 I would have cleared this 10 times already.. three weeks and nothing!

Horrible level! King you suck!

No where near 60000 and half the time after only 2 moves it has to reshuffle then says no more possible moves so I lose that life! Fed up with this one and only play once a day where as before I would go back again after my lives are renewed. Never even get close enough that buying boosters would help so King you are losing money from those of us that would sometimes spend on boosters. Lower the score or have sprinkles and combinations made more easily.

Candy Thompson said...

Everyone is saying 18000 on computer...on mine it is 60000 and after about 2 or 3 moves it says no m ore switches and I have 1:52 or 1:44 left! Not our fault if no more switches...putting too many blockers out there and need TOO MUCH COUNT! BYE after 3 years!

How about a video showing how to get 60000 points in 1 minute like I have to get on my iPhone. People have been posting here and telling King since April about this glitch but obviously they don't care enough to fix it

Merli0n🌹 said...

Ha I had to pass this level TWICE after my gadgets had a connectivity problem! 60,000 in 2 mins. Took constant play for a week, tried ipad, android and PC. The 2nd time passed it on android. Tips: first clear the space and keys, focus on getting bonus time that drops (impossible to pass without the extra time). Then focus on the bottom of board so more drop and just focus on creating special candies more than stopping chocolate. Leave the ufo to sort itself because it wastes more time.

Merli0n🌹 said...

The 1st time I used all the boosters possible but had none left for my 2nd time, and you definitely need a lucky board with some time bonuses dropping down.

18,000 points is a breeze, no problem, way exceed it every time, however 60,000 is impossible! So not fair!

And it's really frustrating watching the UFO fly around while five seconds tick off the clock before it does anything!

Yeah, the only way to beat this level is to time out leaving a couple candy balls in play.

Anonymous said...

I have been stuck on this level for a while as well, it's just too hard. It's so annoying when the UFO gets eaten by the chocolate as well, so you miss out on those extra points. I've had points up to 58000+ but just seem to run out of time. I HATE timed levels at the best of times, but this is doing my head in.

I hate, hate, hate timed levels!

I've also arrived at a dead end on this level. After a million attempts, I got within 900 points once, but had run out of gold! Other than that I've probably only cracked 50K 3 or 4 times. I've tried boosters, I've tried leaving colour bombs, I've tried leaving the UFO but its no use!

Anonymous said...

For some reason I'm not getting any +5 candies anymore. I get the good cascades like I was doing before when they would show up. Got to 52,000 once and 45,000 once. Otherwise it's been under 10 with an occassional 20 to 30 thousand. And it reshuffles A LOT!

Here's a tip.

If you're commenting here just to rant, save your time and ours. It doesn't help anyone get through the level.

If you DO have something constructive, we'll all be appreciative.

Krusher said...

I was the anon who posted on 14th Sept. About 20 or 30 goes later I passed it. I suppose I got lucky after a few moves I got a colour bomb which I used straight away to clear a colour. Then I quickly got a wrapped/striped combo which basically removed all the chocolate quite early. I concentrated on getting another two of these combos rather than trying to get the +5s - if you get a combo, it normally takes care of those anyway. Then right near the end I got another bit of luck when I made a colour bomb(without meaning to!) I let the last couple of seconds run down and - boom- about 70K. The UFO came down quite early as well although I wasn't planning it, but it worked out well.

My suggestion is to just make as much carnage as you can and the +5s will keep dropping. And hope for a bit of luck!

Cc player said...

I dont get any 5+ dropping at all. Does anyone else have this issue?

Sue said...

I must have tried over 50 times and still stuck. Several times only short of 1000 points. I have NEVER had extra time drop down!!!!

Unknown said...

It is a difficult level on iPhone....the only way to win is to get at least 3 color bombs....don't worry about making stripes, or wraps, they will come...focus on making at least 3 color bombs

BTW- Tired of hearing people complain...this is a site for HELPFUL HINTS - not to complain about ur inability to pass a level....get a life people

I have been on this level for more than a month. I play every day and, although I love the game and the challenge, I feel that it's just about hopeless. 60,000 points is more than "just out of reach". It's WAY out of reach. I've read every blog on this level, used up all my special candies, paid for time and more, and never seem to get past 30,000 on a REALLY good day. What's the point??

I normally don't come to this site to complain but I have found this level impossible. I can't get closer than 40000 pts and have only done that twice after playing for several days. I don't have enought sprinkles to use one every time even they do seem to boost your points. But they also don't seem to multiply - only apppear once.
I have been working on my sugar drop levels trying to build up my boosters and waiting "not so patiently" for some kind of luck!

Was able to pass on my Android. I noticed that more "+5" boosters appeared than on computer. So I kept hitting those as much as possible. Good luck!

Anonymous said...

I've been stuck on this for more time than I want to admit. Never had a +5 drop. Most of the time I can't even get 18,000, much less 60,000 or close to it. Used both android and computer and neither have been easier. Super frustrating and not wanting to even try anymore.

Unknown said...

Omg still impossible, after not playing it for a few weeks decided I'd have a go at it again and nope still stuck no +5s constantly reshuffles and pointless moves arghhhhh

Kenny said...

This level is a stinker. On my laptop, I failed with a hundred-odd attempts. I have never had a 5 second drop (the player in the video above got about 90 seconds extra). My strategy was to have 3 sprinkles remaining at the end. Not easy - I only ever managed 2, but 2 will give you about 25-30k points so 3 should be about 40-45k.

After watching the video, I gave up on that strategy, and after a couple of goes and another apparent fail, when time was up, I had 1 sprinkle and about 25k points, then a sprinkle appeared randomly, and various other explosions inexplicably took my score to 61k.

So no need to give up. Like many levels before it, it only seems impossible til you complete it.

Anonymous said...

I'm amazed with myself. I usually take ages to get through timed levels with being disabled. I dread them. Got to yet another and my heart sunk. I always try first with no boosters, to see how well (badly) I do, and plan my strategy from there. Timed leve;ls are the only ones that I have to use boosters. Tried 3 times to test how poorly I did, then used a sprinkle and a stripe/wrap booster. As timed levels go, this has a reasonable amount of time, and the tip about spending a couple of secs to assess the board was good. Also good was getting the keys quickly. I used 2 hammers from my stash to release the UFO. I was left with a decent board - another sprinkle had appeared and I was able to make 2 stripes. I made the decision to leave these and just get rows of 3 that were sure not to explode any of my stripes or colour bomb. with about 15 secs to go, I just let the time tick away and the resulting cascade got me through! Only one star, but at least I got through this with minimal effort, for a change. Lin

Ive been stuck on this lever forever. Never got more than mid 30,000. I have never once had a +5 drop! I have played on my phone, ipad and imac. Nothing has ever dropped. It is totally impossible to get without a few +5's dropping!

I have been playing cc for years and enjoyed it but this level is ridiculous ...
KING you are going to lose a lot of loyal players who have given you a far amount of money over the years.
Listen to your players and drop the target by at least 10000. Please

This isn't easy on Android. I'm still shy of about 10-20 thousand points. How will I ever get 60,000? Waiting in a lucky board again.

Thanks so much to all who posted helpful tips on this level. After reading the comments on this page I was able to finish on my third or fourth try (after 20+ prior). Here's what I did:

1) Focus on the center. Any outside moves don't really lead anywhere usefulness. The goal is to open up the board.

2) Ignore the keys, even the one in the center. The keys will take care of themselves soon enough via setting off specials.

3) Don't set off specials! Just create them and let them accumulate. They will get set off by happenstance as you go along.

4) If/when the UFO drops you can either ignore it (it gets set off automatically when you run out of time anyway) or use it to polish off any remaining chocolate. The latter is recommended because an open board is critical to success.

5) Don't sweat the time too much. This level is about making thoughtful, deliberate moves, not hyperfast speed.

6) Identify opportunities where you are not quite at a sprinkle, i.e. use a hand switch or hammer to force a situation where you are able to make five in a row, don't just wait for them to come to you naturally.

7) Don't explode the sprinkles! Let them sit until time runs out. Exception: if you have tons of time, set one off and keep going. I had three with one minute left, but no other moves. After sitting there paralyzed for about ten seconds, I realized this might not be the greatest strategy, and set one off to see what I could make happen in the final 50 seconds. I set one more off by accident (via cascade), but created one more as well and that was enough.

Worked for me... I hope my experience helps others. This level *is* doable. Yes, it requires luck, and some boosters in my case, but not as much as it first appears. Skill and strategy are prerequisites.

Anyone else having trouble with the game not responding to the mouse clicks immediately? That really slows me down and eats up the time. And don't click on the flying sauce, it eats up time as well. Save it for the end of the game.

Having a hard time passing this one.

After one week of trying just playing the 5 lives per night I finally got a lucky board! I was able to create 5 bombs, 3 stripes and got to complete this level. Got 3 stars too, but moving pass this level meant more.

Interesting comments--and hopefully this is just not a rant as those are not too helpful. I play on a kindle fire and haven't really been that discouraged until this point. I've NEVER seen extra time candies drop, unlike all the other timed games. Thus after maybe 40+ plays, I've only gotten to 45,000, no where close to the 60,000 needed to pass. I've started with both boosters many times, sparkle+wrapped/striped, but they don't really get you anywhere. Setting of the spaceship just eats up 15-20 seconds, so that's a mistake.

I've gone back to the beginning playing coin levels, but apparently you can only do so many of those as after 4-5 you don't get any more coins.

This is the worst ever. Been here for days. Got about 40,00 a few times but usually get 10 - 15 per game. Don't know if I'll ever get a lucky board. Maybe King will give me a nice Christmas present. Jane e

I has to buy my way out of this and I hate that. I had a good board and was able to make a couple of sprinkles which I left for the end and for the first time I got a good score... 57,000 so close I couldn't let it get away. The closest I got before that was 40,000 once!! So I bought extra 15 seconds but I had nothing on the board that could get me what I needed in 15 seconds soooo... hated to do it but had to buy a flying saucer and even that just barely put me over... ugh! this was a really bad one.

Hey you lot, I started this level yesterday and thought the same as all of you, that this was not possible. However, I resolved not to panic as it is supposed to be a challenge. After attaining low scores eg, 12-30 thousand, I relaxed this evening and started the game. I admit that I had extra second goodies, and, I used the flying saucer to get rid of the chocolate, but I got a score of 126340! Now, I am 70 years old this year and probably have a bit more patience than some. I am thrilled to get this score and it has made my day.

Too Many comments on this level! They are all from 2016, hello! Does everyone stop playing CC in 2017? Beside that, second levels decide someone to stop playing it, so Will i!

Dirk said...

Marwanjo, the number of those playing CC is declining. I think it's because it's become a game of chance. To borrow a comment, you can play like a world champion, but until the game is ready for you to win, you won't. Here's a link to a site that shows the decline. Scroll down a little past halfway to see the graph: http://bit.ly/2r3Uoa1

I'm impressed- I lack patience... I'll take a deep breathe... and hope for luck

Thank you!!!! Here I go!! Wish me luck.

I'm beginning to think this might be my nemesis from King or whoever the new owner is...
Practically impossible to get 60K with so few moves on a timed level ��

I'm so stuck on evil 1628... I play on my iPad, don't have access to a PC for those that advice using it...
Really could use a lucky board if the powers that be could help out with that... Thanks, that is all...

Takes for every to catch up with good comments on this blog but seriously cc this sucks losing another cc player

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh I hate timed levels.

Anonymous said...

A week on and can barely score more than 30,000. Is it my imagination or are timed levels slightly slower and sluggish compared to normal levels, or am I really cycnical??

Anonymous said...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who couldn't get this level. I haven't even gotten close in over 100 tries. I'll probably slow down to 5-7 tries a day and hope they make a change to this level some time over the next year or two. I know everybody like to scream "I'm quitting CC!", but unfortunately I probably am. Playing the same level for 2-3 months, hoping for some kind of miracle, doesn't sound very fun. I don't mind a tough level that you have to figure out, but this one is not one of those. What's even stupider is it's an obvious money grab by King to make us but boosters and all that shit, but unless you can use 4 or 5 color bombs to start a level, boosters won't really help. Nice job King.

Anonymous said...

And here comes yet another impossible level. Made multiple color bombs and yet always short. Left color bombs at the end or use it before, they give a measly 1000 points per go, yet in other levels they give around 20000!! Not just hard, they make it unfair. As with always, King games, the higher you go, don't just expect the game to get harder, expect the game to cheat on you - CC begins to cheat after level 1000. King, make it fair, or most of your players will say Bey Bey CC and Bey Bey King.
