To wish I hadn't succumbed to playing bloody Candy Crush Saga "just the once"

[MrsBrownsGirl]

After numerous Facebook messages telling me that so-and-so has reached level blah blah on Candy Crush Saga I thought I would finally have a quick go just to see what the fuss is all about. Two days later and, being the kind of person who refuses to bombard my friends' FB pages begging for more lives (or squandering my hard earned money), I find myself nipping back to my iPad every few minutes just to have another go. It doesn't help that I am monumentally crap at such things...can anyone recommend any similar games that are less annoying?!

I'm on level 409.

Needless to say, I don't get out much.

For unlimited lives (on my tablet, at least), go to Settings, and move the date forward by 24 hours. Go back to CC - oooh, five lives! Then go back to Settings and flick the date back again. Repeat until brain-dead.

Just downloaded it.

Let's see what happens

You fucking nutters.

Have you not seen Halloween 3?

That shit will kill you.

I'm on 361. I downloaded it when I went into hospital for day surgery.

I am intrigued about 409, it doesn't go up that far on the iPad!

Messed up my iPad moving the date forward and backwards to get free lives. Ended up moving the year and when I put it back candy crush said I had to wait 550,000 hours (about 60 years) Til I could play again. If I left the date a year ahead it bought I had no licence for App Store etc. in the end I deleted candy crush, downloaded a new one and started again.
Very sad I know.....

How do you get past level 350??? I have been stuck on it for MONTHS! I wish I had never seen the sodding game! And now when I run out of lives I play Papa Pear and Bubble Witch too

But it used to keep me company during loooong night shifts :)

The key is don't move the time forward too much. The game tells you how long you have left till you next lives. If it's 15 mns just forward by 16 etc.
Then when you readjust to the right time you catch up through the night.

The expanding chocolate really freaks me out. It's like gangrene growing on a wound or something.

try jigsaw world .I gave up on candy rush and am now addicted to jigsaws,and even better you always win

Been playing a couple of weeks, level 45 on the iPad and level 40 on my phone but I don't change the date or request/pay for more lives - I'm bigger than that. I just switch device when I have to wait!

I'm on 425...have been for about a fortnight because I'm waiting for more levels.

And yep, I play it too much.

This is shit, what's the fuss about?
This is shit, what's the fuss about?
This is shit, what's the fuss about?
Oh look, I'm an addict.

Thanks a bunch, MN!
