Yes, I can understand that they're wanting to maximise revenue, but I'm sure that some levels are fixed so that they're physically impossible unless you play them over and over or buy the fecking cheats ( which I refuse to do).

Angry Birds is hard on some levels, but at least you have the same scenario and birds each time, so you don't have to wait until an achievable bird scenario comes along. This game is pissing me off now, because I'm sure they deliberately give you unsolvable combinations most of the time.

Lol I have been stuck on level 219 for weeks now and, rather than making me want to buy the cheats it's just stopped me plaing

Pancakeflipper · 06/05/2013 14:47

I am on that chocolate level and I have refused to pay a penny. Even had to wait 24hrs to open a quest ( 3 times). I refuse to pay, it's a point of principal now and I could be on my current level forever.

TallyGrenshall · 06/05/2013 14:50

I'm the same as Nokids

I've been stuck on level 208 for about 2 weeks now and it's just making me not want to play it. I wouldn't ever spend money on it

Interestingly I'm also on 208 Tally but only started today. I can just tell its not giving me the right colour combinations to be even able to attempt to achieve the level. 2 weeks Confused

I can't understand how adults get hooked on this shite. I really can't. Go and do something useful or creative instead!

TallyGrenshall · 06/05/2013 14:56

When I'm finish work at midnight, I have no desire to do anything useful or creative.

I want to sit and do something mindless to wind down

Well each to their own Neo. Posting on MN isn't exactly a productive hobby either.

Mardy it can be. MN is quite educational at times..

Maybe. But I waste way too much time on here when I could be productive elsewhere.

For lego and queries about individual levels:

The answer will invariably be stick with it or spend a bloody fortune.

LegoAcupuncture · 06/05/2013 15:04

Is there?

Back to topic, I've been stuck for weeks, can get it down to one last jelly but refuse to buy 5 more goes. I've given myself until the end of the week then deleting the game.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/05/2013 15:04

I am sure you are right, OP. It makes me very cross - and the fact that I succumb, and buy the power-ups makes me even crosser with myself.

Kasterborous · 06/05/2013 15:04

I agree the level I'm on now 98 I think is like that and I refuse to pay any money out. It seems like they want you to spend money before I even start this level.

I bet they love you SDTG. Manipulative bastards.

My friend managed to finish it and start their new game, Farm Hero's

nannynick · 06/05/2013 15:08

I am waiting for a boat ticket. Takes me ages to get those tickets to progress, lack of FBfriends who play.

Like all games, it's a bit of pointless fun, though I suspect like many games it does keep the brain matter in good condition - though I wish my brain would see a couple of moves ahead. Good chess players see many moves ahead I think... Suppose good candycrush players are the same. Alas I rarely see more than the current move.

catlady1 · 06/05/2013 15:08

Haha, I've been stuck on level 30 for weeks! I clearly have no hope. Although to be fair I only play it when bfing DD all day and all night

SucksToBeMe · 06/05/2013 15:12

It is fixed! If you hold off playing for a few days it will send down all the correct combinations so you blitz the level!

I'm stuck on 103.

Parker231 · 06/05/2013 15:13

Am totally hooked - am up to 130 but stuck !

CouthySaysEatChoccyEggs · 06/05/2013 15:18

It's a good time waster in between jobs. I was stuck on lvl 30 for two bloody weeks, but am now on lvl 58 just two days later.

It does help bring able to see 2/3 moves ahead.

Some of the combinations ARE unsolvable.

I now HATE chocolate squares...Wink

I refuse to pay for power ups. tight arse

AgentZigzag · 06/05/2013 15:24

I've just started playing it this week and also got stuck on level fucking 30!

I'm sure it was getting a bit sarky with me in the end 'you only have to get 450 billion points and get rid of the jellies you idiot'

I'm obsessed with it Grin

I'm stuck on level 38 now Hmm
