To think I need to sort out my candycrush addiction

Playing this morning, and the cat came in and flicked a snail off her tail in middle of living room. Thought ' I will pick that up in a minute'
45 mins later ( guess what I was doing) the bloody snail has had time to crawl away, so now I'm going to have to follow snail trails until I find it.

I am taking the blame for getting DH and friends addicted. Woke up at 2am this morning to see DH playing next to me in the bed! He excitedly told me that he reset his clock to get more lives!!

I've heard of people doing that! It has crashed on my ipad at the moment which is most annoying. Playing on my laptop, and waiting for sponsored ads to run, so I get extra lives Blush

That game is the work of the devil, i've stuck for ages now..

eccentrica · 12/06/2013 09:17

Delete it. No one ever thought on their deathbed "I wish I'd played more andy crush".

eccentrica · 12/06/2013 09:18

Candy crush even!

Bearbehind · 12/06/2013 09:19

I'm probably being thick but I don't get the attraction with it! I've played the first few levels and if you are slow to spot a line of 3 they flash at you. What's the point in that?

Does it get better?

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 12/06/2013 09:19

Stupid game....I've crushed at 3am before now. Stuck on 135 at the moment, can't see how it can be done!!!!!!

dingit · 12/06/2013 09:20

But what else could I do ( wails)

My candy crush obsession is now on a par with my mums net one...
Spent the whole unexpected day off yesterday flicking between the 2. And I reset my clock all day so I ended up running late to school as it got messed up.

dingit · 12/06/2013 09:22

I thought that at first Bear. You shouldn't always go with the hint. ( but don't try again, they are hours of your life you will never get back)

I play dots these days

Bearbehind · 12/06/2013 09:25

How do you get on levels then? Do you run out of moves before you get the required score?

Bearbehind · 12/06/2013 09:25

How do you get stuck on levels? Blush

primallass · 12/06/2013 09:28

I am stuck on 77. Haven't bothered with it for 2 weeks because I can't get past the level.

Smilehappy · 12/06/2013 09:30

No!! I'm addicted and stuck on level 167 ShockHmm it angers me at the best of times!! Xx

dingit · 12/06/2013 09:32

Not being an expert ( despite being on level 102) you have to clear the jelly squares or bring down the ingredients.

dingit · 12/06/2013 09:33

I was stuck on level 65 for ages. Just match as many fours or fives as you can!

It's a great filler for when you have a small child stuck on your lap - you can't type (well, beyond one-handed) and certainly can't do anything involving not being stuck next to the computer. Candy Crush fills that void by being both fun to do and good for the brain, especially if you're a SAHM whose brain is rotting away.. so I feel no guilt!

The downside being when you find yourself playing it at other times when the children are destroying the kitchen or pulling up the plants in the garden and you will deal with it "at the end of the level" Grin But as someone who has been playing it for nearly a year now (yep, I'm one of those who played it before it was "cool"!) I can reassure you that level of addiction wears off, especially if you get really really stuck, and it goes back to being a pleasant filler.

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 12/06/2013 09:34

Level 65 is a sod..........yeah get as many combos as you can, wrappers and candies preferably swipe together!!

Shutupanddrive · 12/06/2013 09:35

I'm stuck on 167 too

dingit · 12/06/2013 09:38

I am a sahm, and I think I need a more thought provoking game. The Chase is quite good but I found myself saying nasty things to the Chaser, especially the evil looking woman!

Been stuck on 147 for about a week.

Maybe they should invent a skip button after a week Grin that would be so handy.

catgirl1976 · 12/06/2013 09:43

Right - combos it is then

McNewPants2013 · 12/06/2013 09:45

I am level 305.

If you got an iPhone or pad the trick is to delete the app resinc with Facebook and all your lives and levels will be back Blush
