to think Candy Crush Saga is totally fixed?

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.

I'm nearly on level 1000 without buying any extras!
But yes, YANBU. Some levels are very very hard and I've spent months stuck.

I gave up with CC when they released Soda Saga.

I'm.really into Pet Rescue and thats fixed too.

I'm addicted though. It's my switch-off-brain-before-bed activity

They are all fixed.

I'm playing inside out and have discovered that if I walk away from the game for Five days or so the next time I play it will be miraculously easy to win. I then get five or six nice, simple levels to suck me back in again and then bam, difficult, unbeatable level. I suspect this is the point they expect me to buy lives /cheats etc but I'm not bloody daft so this is when it gets ignored for a week again.

Dd also plays it and confirms my theory.

I'm on level 1053

I've been playing it for quite a while and stopped for several months because there were other games I played at the time, I chop and change a bit

I never pay. But I do the "daily booster wheel" which is invaluable. Sometimes its the lollipop hammer or coconut wheel that makes a difference in getting the level or not.

Plus if you save up a few you can use more than one in a game, "free switch" etc.

If you have friends who play they can send you 5 extra moves.

Also, the more recent thing where you collect certain types of candies as you play which add up and earn you boosters.

All of these things make enough of a difference that you won't get stuck for too long. That, and a bit of luck.

I do think several moves ahead, sort of. And I've been playing so long you kind of see patterns in the colours that help you predict things.

I love it! I don't spend all that much time doing it, you only get 5 lives at a time so its not like you can sit there wasting hours, its just 10 minutes here or there at odd times of the day where you are having a sit down.
