Pay to lose
Let’s start with me loving candy crush. I’m on level 1,933 I play almost every day. But, there’s so many things that are frustrating for users that want to continue to play the game. First, WHY CAN I ONLY USE 20 LIVES A DAY?!! please I just wanna know. I’m so miserable watching that long timer for a single life that’s gonna be used up in 2 minutes maybe less. Plus they’re lives that friends sent so they should be mine without limitation. Second, why do I never get the option to watch videos to earn boosts or lives? I literally get so sad because I’m watching my bf watch his videos to continue playing. Maybe it’s my fault for ever paying into the game. It hurts to rate this low on a game I enjoy but the fun is taken away with every little update they do. Way too many restrictions on users and almost forces them to buy boosters even though you still won’t win 😐
Update: currently level 2394 and unless you have the patience to continue failing till they seem like you’ve had enough don’t download the game. why does it take like 30 minutes per life like this is causing more stress. I’m not about to pay to win every time bc what’s the point? I understand challenging levels but like who’s gonna take out 94 jellies with 10 moves. It’s so unrealistic and not even fun to play anymore. My rate still stands and I don’t think it will change unless they make the game enjoyable again.

Pay to pass
If you have extreme patients and don’t mind spending weeks playing the same level hoping they’ll finally let you pass this time, then this game is for you! If you like to actually progress through games in a responsible time line, I would not recommend! The game starts off easy enough. But eventually you start getting hit with levels that are next to impossible to beat without boosters. The first few are on the house and they’ll give them to you for free. But as the levels progress even harder, you’ll find yourself needing more boosters because “I was able to beat that one level with them!” But the catch is you done used your few free ones. If you want to get boosters now you have to PAY! And price is crazy high. $8 to buy 50 gold bars that’ll buy you just 1, and if you pick boosters that are cheaper, you can get 2 for $8! But the cheaper ones don’t work well enough to beat the game level and then you end up spending more to buy more to pass a level. I paid to beat 4 levels, and noticed a pattern and quickly deleted the game. So if you want to pay to pass, this is your game! If you wanna try and tough it out and spend weeks playing the same level, this is your game! But if you want to actually progress through a game without having to pay $8-$15 to beat a level, I do not recommend.

Level 8059 is a cash grab-You can’t have my money
Updating every time I am stuck on a level for more than a week. This game is increasingly becoming less fun and more annoying with all of the levels that are on fire and all of the stupid side quests that are essentially just supposed to motivate me to spend my real money to pass a level that is set up for me to fail so that I become desperate and so irritated that I spend money to pass it. It’s disgusting in this day and age that a game on a phone that is supposed to be fun and relaxing is essentially just bombarding me constantly to spend money to get a little bit of dopamine from passing a level. I might as well just delete it. It’s obviously not doing anything other than wasting my time.
Why do I have to clear away 3 or more attempts at my money (“buy this booster pack to win” “don’t you want a little help winning?”) Before getting to play a level. There is no way to opt out of the stupid bubblegum troll things. I am not motivated to give you my money by having a character “steal” boosters I didn’t even have yet. I have played this game for so long and it has just increasingly become so obviously a cash grab that it’s making me feel like I should probably just delete it. I’m happy there’s no ads for other stupid games because those are even more intolerable, but it’s disappointing that this particular game has gone downhill in the last like two years.
