So is Candy Crush like the first stage of grief for when you realize your FarmVille farm is gone?
The 5 stages of missing FarmVille:
1. Candy Crush

I used to play candy crush as a kid and my dad installed cheats on it so I had infinite lives and power ups lmao.
Epic dad
Based dad
You know what, that's a smart move imo. If your kid is gonna be doing nothing but stare at a screen for hours on end you wanna make sure they don't spend hundreds of dollars on it.
I think he just paid a bunch of money to allow you to have those. Take away the fun from Candy Crush (the lives and working for the power ups) but it probably backfired and made you play more.
@@GettinAwayPodcast He put cheats on the game and I used them whenever a level was too hard to be beaten legit, that's it. It was a very long time ago and my memories are getting foggy, but I remember him clearly saying that those were cheats and there was no money going into the game.
candy crush is like the myth of Polybius fully realized. a game built specifically to addict you and keep you by it’s side 24/7, even though it will probably harm you to do so.
I liked the game until it started screwing you over around level 70 to the point to where YOU MUST ACTUALLY HAND OVER YOUR MONEY just to progress in the game
This was many years ago
@@fargeeks King focuses on turning players into _paying_ customers and fine tuned the games to achieve that goal.
@@r.a.6459 yeah thats evil
HOLY SHIT GAY BOWSER
@@r.a.6459you sure about that?
I'm sure nobody is gonna see this, but I think it's really valuable to know the difference between you playing the game, and _the game_ playing _you._ Giving up makes people feel weak and unaccomplished, but to truly win these sorts of games, you have to be strong enough to put the game down. Games like this always hold some satisfaction just out of your reach, but never give it to you. You go braindead, spending countless hours of your life on something so banal and trite, trying to find a point at which you feel accomplished with your work. But you never feel like you've done enough, because you never really did anything. So you just keep coming back for more and more. I used to fall for tactics like this, but I've changed and become stronger, I think. So don't go back to Candy Crush-- not for any reason. You'll always think it's because its _on your own terms_ and that you _want to,_ but you'll never truly gain anything by playing it.

so true. im so happy to quit this nonesense
Candy Crush - seems like you playing the game, but in reality, it's the _game's AI_ is _playing YOU_ not the other way round.
My advice: uninstall that game NOW and get a job or start a business. You can turn your phone into an asset instead of a liability.
Or just hack the game.
wait does that count with geometry dash
As soon as you mentioned the free bonus timer and the streak bonus, I immediately knew it would cycle. Seriously mobile games encourage gambling addictions and need to be restricted or you get stuff like this.

Before this video, I got a candy crush ad, and then directly after that one I got an ad about how addictive vaping is.
i too got an candy crush ad immediately before being able to watch this
💀💀
@@h3cat0mbe_ same here. It could be because i searched 'why is candy crush so addictive' to find this video
lmao same
Same here. Got an unskippable candy crush ad. 15 seconds long and you can't report it and reloading does not work.
To lose a save THAT nostalgic is heartbreaking.
I keep getting the same unskippable candy crush ad on practically every other video I watch, yet the one video I watch about candy crush just shows me ads for new windows.
They know
The Candy Crush ads are very similar to those annoying Apple ads. You can't skip it, it's always 15-30 seconds long, and you can't report it as well (no option in the ℹ️). I just also discovered a new trick to skip unskippable ads apart from reporting, that is, viewing a Shorts and then go back. Even that doesn't work on the unreportable ads, by not showing Shorts in the recommended videos section.
Candy crush is like literal candy, is tasty, so good you can't just have one, but before you realize you'll be just sitting on your couch with a big belly thinking how the heck did you let that happen
I recently started playing. Honestly, I noticed it was funky how easy the levels were. It was pretty fun though. I feel like it's a very addicting game that is unhealthy. Addiction is not hard to get into, it appears.
Don't play this crap!
If you need a mobile game ply some old games like jetpack joyride or the OG Angry Birds games!!!
I don't think it's unhealthy for me, (I know it is for some people, it's just my opinion) I'm kind of addicted to Candy Crush and Among Us kind of a little bit, Not that much...
These types of game go from extremly Easy to impossibly difficult
Oh just wait sweetheart it’s gonna get a lot harder trust me
Im still so sad that there were interesting game modes taken down by candy crush developers
You know Black Friday? The musical satire where an evil diety creates a cult by manipulation people using commercialisation? There should be a musical about a diety that mind controls people using video game addiction
I wasn't expecting a Starkid reference here but THANK YOU!!! the state of mobile game commercialism is so much like Wiggly you're so right
I just realized that's Simulacra 2
Lol, diety😂🤣... a deity* has nothing to do with diet
i just thought of a oc that is literally an eldritch horror made out of modern architechture i could incorperate brainwashing into this shit
watching this while playing lol. my recommendation is:
1-dont buy shit. if u start, you are not gonna stop.
2- turn both the music AND the sound off. listen to something else.
3- play only when you can afford to.
4- do it shamelessly. i assure you, your friends dont give a fuck that you play. but doing it like a dirty lil secret might make u indulge waaaay more than you should.
i play it after lunch while i have my glass of water or soda and my cigarrette, while listening to podcasts and youtube videos. i have fun, and then go on with the day.
You need to treat this game like an old friend who has alcohol addiction. You can still spend time with it but you need to be really careful with giving them money. Or else they end up in hospital after drinking too much.
I play these games for the sake of making levels only. Check my content to see
I thought this would be a joke because of how ridiculous the title sounded but it wasn't and it did not disappoint
Dude mobile games are scary. They’re basically gambling addictions you can get in your phone for free.
Really cool video btw
Why I don't have many mobile games. I really only have the app installment of this multi-media series by my favorite musician. It has no microtransactions or ads, and it's short and sweet, so I already beat it.
I also have Sky - Children of the Light, but I barely play it because in my opinion, it's sadly becoming extremely pay-to-win, something that the community is seeming to refuse to acknowledge. A real shame, since it was such a beautiful game.
Why are we here just crush candy…
no need to question why you’re doing this. questions aren’t necessary. just purchase the 15 minutes of infinite lives again.
Just to suffer.
@@gaybowser4522 why purchase when you can set the clock forward
40 year old moms: finally a worthy opponent
They’re gonna have a war against keelvin cause they know he’s gonna win, he’s the candy crush GOAT.
So this is a story about mobile games addiction, it kind of makes me glad I grew out of it
The first time I came across a game packed with microtransactions and manipulative tactics to get me to spend, I fell for it hook, line and sinker. With 20-20 hindsight, the game's tactics are so obviously manipulative that a 5 year old should have been able to avoid falling into the trap. At the time though, I was in a very toxic work environment where certain members of supervision had decided to make my life a living hell. Being a "whale" in game bought me the friendship and respect I wasn't getting in real life. I stuck it out til retirement (at that time, you either made it long enough for pension or left with nothing), then retired and got a job with a much better work environment. Once I was getting friendship and respect in real life, the game had much less hold on me.
Videogames should have laws more strict than even gambling
I 100% disagree with you, gambling is WAY more bad than Candy Crush or whatever, That's why I never gamble.
@@dagamernerd9843 you have no idea bro. Mobile gaming is a market to manipulate people into spending way too much money on a chance to get something. Just because you buy the loot boxes with in-game currency doesnt mean they obviously want you to spend money on that currency. Sometimes they even outright sell you an "offer" for real life money.
Even games without loot boxes are simply trying to manipulate you with smaller dopamine rushes every time into buying shit. Thats the whole point of this video
Anyone could fall into these traps and its honestly a lot more available than real life gambling since you actually have to go to a casino or at least to a market to grab a lottery ticket. Your phone is there all the time in your pocket taunting you with that unfinished task "you're so close to this upgrade, wanna buy a pile of gold?"
@@dagamernerd9843 I feel like they mean it's because video games are easily accessible. They're digital, so it's harder to realize how much you've lost. And it's easy for kids to get in with their parents credit card logged on
@@dagamernerd9843 you don’t realize how similar they are
what about laws on gambling *in* video games then
trying not to play addictive games sounds like a fun idea for a series
The candy crush crushes your soul

Imagine if Mobile Legends gets taken down... many people spend thousands if not millions on skins
I can change that (I have 50,000,000 million power in rise of kingdoms)
My mom has played some candy crushes to the end, I think.
Until they added more levels.
At some point she figured out that you get huge bonuses if you leave the game for a while, so she figured the perfect strategy to beat a difficult level is to put the game down for a week so *it* comes begging for *you* as she puts it lmao
Very true. Or you'll literally quit the game because you're on a level that's 100% impossible to beat without boosters or extra moves and after dozens and dozens of attempts, then suddenly you come back months later and they give you an unrealistically perfect board to be able to get right back on the hook again.
The game has in-built AI which controls what candies to drop in such a way for that situation to be achieved. There's no way this game is RNG.
2:29 you can tell he's been playing since 2014 when you hear the best nostalgic jingle Candy crush had in the past: the Moon Struck gameloop from Dreamworld. You gained a free subscription my chad, just for that.
fr miss that
7:09 That is a glitch. It also happens for hard levels. Some pop ups often show up after the game they were supposed to show up in
I got addicted to Toon Blast thanks to my school cutting the WiFi which meant I got bored in classes when I wasn't reading Manga or drawing. I Uninstalled it due to me needing more space for an app and I never felt more liberated
What about custom levels
sometimes when my dad played candy crush and got stuck on a level he would give it to me and I would just spam all of his power ups.
I don't think he ever realised I was doing it because he always acted surprised when I beat the level he was stuck on for months on the first try.
Work smarter not harder
Using his powerups? That makes the game so much easier, sometimes when I'm stuck on a level I just start using my powerups.
That reminds me of my aunt who had hundreds of power ups and didn't use none ever since she started to play lol
This happens with Pet Rescue Saga as well, and other Saga games.
King's whole model seems to be addicting dopamine generators to encourage addiction or microtransactions
@@yeethittter1285 Kinda sad, because I thought that Pet Rescue Saga would have been amazing without stuff like that.
@@roar_roar_rorafex I used to really like the Bubble Witch series for it's whole halloween aesthetic but it started to seriously bug me just how many pop ups and bonuses you would get, plus all the King games are pretty repetitive
@@roar_roar_rorafex what about custom levels
@@FenceAKAGlasnost Custom... what?
The candy crush ads I've been getting of late have been pretty simple and basic, but I remember the ones in the past. I think the one I remember the best was one where a grandma crushed candy on her table with a hammer, and it was memorable and interesting. Also, a little more generic, but a few years later as a promotion for a new version (I think it had something to do with soda) they had a lady walking through a big city with huge purple bubbles and gummy bears. It was cool, and made me want to look more into the game. Kinda bummed about the general state of mobile game ads rn :/
now candy crush ads are fake and they even say it's not in-game footage
Candy Crush disease is a problem worldwide. There are many bad symptoms that escalate the longer you've had it. It’s most commonly cause by Farmville deprivation.
Stage 1: This stage includes...
• Getting free bonuses in Candy Crush.
• Feeling peace of mind.
Stage 2: This stage includes...
• Becoming more interested in Candy Crush and losing an interest in your personal life.
Stage 3: This stage includes...
• Full on addiction to Candy Crush.
• The requirement of eating candy in real like.
Stage 4: This stage includes...
• Realization of the addiction. Despite this, it doesn't stop.
• The urges to play seem to leave, but they’re still there.
Most people manage to cope with the addiction and get treatment by this stage, but the few who don't will enter...
Stage 5: This stage includes...
• Inability to leave the game. When trying to, overwhelming amounts of guilt will come over you and you won't be able to.
• Possibility to turn into a middle-aged mom who plays Candy Crush all day.
I like this comment! I keep seeing this video because of this!
Also “Possibility to turn into a middle-aged mom who plays Candy Crush all day” gets me every time.
Someone should record an album surrounding this phenomenon, similar to "The Caretaker" album surrounding dementia.
@@wilderduran8427 thanks :D
@@r.a.6459 cool!
Stage 70
This includes the game screwing you real good by taking away your available moves for every move you fail to clear by having these Mints spawn out of nowhere and rendering that spot useless for clearing out what you need in that area which means you must waste more of your limited moves!
Oh And get this:
Theres even candy crush jellyfish gummies that you can actually buy because it's an actual product that I once seen at cracker barrel
I never understood how People got addicted to this type of games. I installed it, played for like 5 levels, got bored and uninstalled it.
Literally same
Right?
I installed Candy Crush Friends once, played for like 30 or 40 levels and then the difficulty spike finally hit and I was like "nope" and uninstalled.
I can see people being attracted to the flashy colors and satisfying sounds of candies breaking so yeah
My lvl 1000+ grandmas beg to differ
I played it until the levels got so hard that it was clear that King was just trying to twist my arm and get me to do micro-transactions.
my grandmother was a monster when it came into candy crush. If it weren't for her phone breaking, her levels on candy crush will transcend far beyond what could possibly imagine.
Keelvin, I want to tell you something: I am on Level 12118 at this point in time. At no point, do I think Candy Crush is good at anything except its brilliant and manipulative marketing tactics.
If you want to see what other players like me think about the game (the ones who are nearly at the gates or the ones who have finished the levels until new ones come out), there are feedback threads that King posts and you should definitely have a look at the comments. On all the feedback threads are people posting legitimate complaints and never once, have I seen something positive that a player has posted after 7000 levels of playing or so.
That's because King doesn't care - they want people to spend money so some levels have completely lost any originality and innovation and design and have become mindlessly difficult. If it's a good level, King shortens the move. They don't want you to enjoy the game - they want you to pay to win.
just reached level 10k with the intent to stop playing after reaching it and this is the first video i’m watching after reaching the milestone because i’m fully aware of my addiction to candy crush and the hold it has on me.
it got so hard that its not possible to beat it without spending money
I just reached level 4000 after playing the game for nearly a decade and it's insane to think I'm only a third of the way through the game lol
@@gilly5809 practically this game will never end, it'll have infinite levels. King, part of the Activision-Blizzard-King merger, is owned by Microsoft. As long as Microsoft isn't bankrupt, it'll keep releasing new levels, possibly for the next 100 years. Your last grandchild born in the future will die of old age before Candy Crush is truly ended.
Having been an addict, this is the finest, most detailed description of a life threatening habit I've ever seen.
felt like this is somehow related to the topic but i was addicted to tetris for 9 months (maybe im still a little addicted)
It isn't for some people who have difficulty regulating impulses similarly to gambling, related to the frontal lobe. But other people can manage playing it on a consistent basis controllable.
I used to play this a while back and I noticed they started marking levels as “hard” and “extra hard”. Of course those ones were weirdly easy to win but every so often a “normal” level would end up being absurdly rigged to the point where you can’t win without buying more powerups. Can’t help but wonder if that was set up to make you waste your upgrades on “hard levels” when you don’t need them so you need to buy more.
And yeah, the whole “give up” thing makes me disproportionately mad. I’m not “giving up”, I literally CAN’T PROGRESS YOU STUPID APP
It's rigged because they use AI to control the candy drops. If you assume the candy drops are RNG... then you made a mistake.
All the countless times I end up losing a level because I need just ONE MORE JELLY or suddenly when you are out of moves it sets up a perfect board to win if you just had 1 more move. This game is evil
You see... the problem started right from the point you logged onto Facebook... *_in 2022_*
Sometimes it’s nice to have adhd, because I can’t play a game for that long
agree
yes
My mother STILL actively plays Candy Crush everyday! 🍬
This is legit why I stopped playing candy crush tbh. I just wanted a game that was satisfying and challenging at times. It’s marketed as a puzzle game so why not?
Until you realise the thing is rigged. The algorithm they use to dictate what colours drop and when, it’s all pre-calculated. I know this because I remember playing the same level over and over again and every single time I would notice that the colour drops would vary WILDLY in each attempt. They’ve literally made the game unwinnable and genuinely impossible to play unless you either 1. Start pumping money into it or 2. Give up, go away for a few months and then come back to reap the welcome back rewards.
Remember this isn’t just a candy crush problem. So many “puzzle” games on the App Store do this exact same thing. Best Fiends is a major one that I still play even though I KNOW that the game is rigged. I would enjoy these games much more if they made it fair. Pre-code each level to be winnable but only if you’re strategic in how you play. Make the games difficult enough that if you loose it’s because YOU messed up and not because the cards you were dealt were rigged from the start. This is gambling since every single time you start a new level it’s never ever promised to you that the level is even winnable, even when you play it smart and slow.
It’s gambling, and you know what they say about gambling? The house always wins.
What do you expect?? Do you think King will just leave the candy drops to random chance, when they spent billions researching AI, machine learning and data mining technologies?? It's not chance that drops candies into the board, it's artificial intelligence. Literally, the game's AI is playing you, not you playing the game. The reason why many Candy Crush clones failed while Candy Crush itself succeeds is that the clones rely on random chance for generating tiles to drop, while Candy Crush, as I said, rely on strategic planning of the AI. Candy Crush is rigged from the beginning because of the use of AI.
These games are definitely gambling if not worse. You spent money on power ups and pray to Candy Gods for not f&‽king you in that game so that you win. Is that the definition of gambling? That's the reason why the Sultanate of Brunei forbid these games because the Sultan sees such games as gambling.
@@r.a.6459 tbh I agree with him, it is gambling and it is dangerous tbh
All I’m saying is I wish game companies were more.. transparent?? I wish the same warnings for gambling apps applied to these apparently kid friendly games. It’s really dodgy tbh because games like Candy Crush and Best Fiends are absolutely made to be as appealing to kids as possible too. When you play these games it doesn’t FEEL like you’re gambling even though it’s basically just a slot machine with extra steps
@@cisrot "as appealing to kids as possible"
Yet they put ads like, gun revolver, for 1 extra life. Why companies aren't being punished for that?? Wonder why school shootings happen more often.
yup never again will i play this damn game
i was severely addicted to candy crush in my last 2 years of high school but got so addicted i was hallucinating any square shape moving. I still cant play it more than a week without hallucinations.
So I used to play this game back in the day, like, probably not long after it was released and the levels were still in the early hundreds, so probably around 2012-13. I first found it via accidentally clicking a Facebook ad and then quickly left again.
2011-12 were the years where Facebook games generally started dying off. While many of the Facebook games were cash cows, alot of the ones I loved the most, Army Attack, Empires and Allies (the old one), Backyard Monsters, Wild Ones, Cityville plus many more, either shut down or went onto life support (Backyard Monsters stopped getting updated but remained online until Flash's demise like Farmville). Many of these games could make fantastic mobile games, especially if the worst monetization/social stuff like lives and having to request stuff from friends, was taken away. Army Attack and E&A especially are ones I'm still itching to play again.
Anyway, I got into Candy Crush, I did enjoy it and was fairly active, but my dad soon after also got into it and he's still in his "candy crush crisis" to this day and I'm quite confident that he's somewhere near level 10000. I would then play it on and off for probably the next 5 or so years. I got into the game back when there were *no* free boosters or anything, the only time you got free boosters was the 3 you got when you unlocked them initially. But one part of the game I really got into was it's community. Well, I didn't get into it, I was more of an observer. I found the Candy Crush Wiki and it had only started making pages for each level, I don't think there were even images of the levels when I found it. Soon after though, it rapidly expanded. I probably found the stuff on the wiki itself as well as the community there to be more interesting than the game itself.
Soon after, the Wiki made it's own level difficulty rating system, which might actually be what inspired King to put the "hard level" markers on the game map. It's system went from "Very Easy" to "Insanely Hard", though it's undergone a few changes since then including adding a few more ratings like "Nearly Impossible" and "Variable". Anyway, I was still pretty much a kid back then and I don't know why but the community fascinated me and I eventually learned who the admins, rollbacks etc. of the site were. Again, I never made an account or any edits to the site, and yet I still knew the most hated levels for many members of the community. There'd be a monthly poll where people, with or without accounts, would vote on what the hardest level in the game was. Early on, level 65 was thought to be the hardest with people spending literal months trying to beat that level. Then came the notorious trio of levels 147, 181 and 350, which basically made the top 3 for several years before they got "nerfed". In case you're wondering, my dad's least favourite level was 311 and I bet he'd still recognise it if I showed him a picture of it today.
I got to see the growth of the wiki, I got to see the first new beaurecrats being made, I saw basically a whole anime arc of one of the most infamous trolls/vandals of the site who had multiple accounts permanently blocked by Wikia (before they renamed to Fandom), then the community gave him a chance before he got himself a ban again. I got to see the drama on the wiki, I got to see people arguing about what difficulty a level should recieve. Eventually though, I stopped following the wiki and since then, the wiki isn't anywhere as active as it once was. It was one of the biggest wikis for a game out there.
About my interest in the game itself though? It started dwindling for various reasons, but the biggest thing that pushed me away was all the pop-ups. Initially, it was just the wheel that eventually gave a free booster every day. But now I have to go through like 5 pop-ups just to get the main screen. Not only that, but they've completely redone all of the early levels, I used to know how when certain elements of the game board were introduced, like how the first "candy order" level was 126. now it's seemingly random. My favourite level type, the timed one, was completely removed from the game. I also had some favourite levels like 236, which had a full board of "random" candies with ?s on them (I just found out that the random candies were completely removed) and level 252, which was probably the most universally loved level in the game. It was a timed level and due to the mechanics of the game as well as level 252 only having 4 candy colours on a full board, meant that games could go on theoretically forever, many older players, myself included, have scores in the tens of millions in that level.
What finally made me delete the game from all devices though, was the allegations of some really bad stuff happening behind the scenes at Activision-Blizzard in mid-2021 and King, who made Candy Crush, is owned by Activision-Blizzard. And if I recall correctly Candy Crush is the single biggest money maker for the company, maybe even more so than Call of Duty and everyone knows about that franchise which goes to show just how powerful Candy Crush is
I do think though, that match-3 games like Candy Crush aren't inherently bad and can be fun if done right. One thing I'd like to see tried is some kind of level maker in one of these games, imagine if the community could make and play their own levels in Candy Crush or some similar game. Many fan level concepts already exist, including on the wiki. Maybe whoever does this could finally be the one to knock Candy Crush off the throne for good.
Sorry for the news article-length comment, thanks for reading.
This is like my addiction for going to those "Image sites", addiction comes in many forms and I hope that everyone here can get over theirs.

I’ve watched bunch of vids from this dude and I can tell you he’s an absolute madman in both best and worst ways possible. It’s very fascinating to watch. I tell you.
All king games have the clock cheat for unlimited lives to play. It makes it a little more addictive but also causes faster burn out without the guilt.
Funny how before this video began, a candy crush ad popped up

As long as King isn't bankrupted, they'll keep adding more and more levels.
@@r.a.6459 True

And they have moms unknowingly (and knowingly) supporting this gambling nightmare, leading into more levels, more ads, and, most importantly for them, more moms.

@@wilderduran8427 it evolved into an endless vicious cycle, it's positive feedback loop. Not only more 'moms' lead to more levels, it's also mean levels are created faster and faster. Forget about the levels are created by man, they're created by _robots._ Automation has really taken over at King, as King invested billions in automation.
I played Candy Crush last year, got to level 20, failed numerous times and lost interest in the game.
I deleted it last year.
I still get ads for it.
That game actively seeks for my doom.
I even did some Candy Crush Soda Saga Valentines Day poster during Art Class back in 6th Grade in 2016!!
I too haven't played since 2014 either and got back into it recently and I noticed just obvious this is a pay to win game. Because I refuse to pay for all the extras, and I didn't have the "welcome back bonus" I had to get through some of the levels with limited resources and wow....some of these levels are designed to be extremely hard/borderline impossible to win without some of the special candies. I noticed this when I realized I was already at 5 moves left yet still had a good chunk of the board to clear even tho I was trying to be smart with my moves
It's not you playing the game, it's the game's AI playing YOU.
I saw the title and I knew what was coming. I knew from experience. **shudders**
Interesting! I could swear they did the exact opposit of the "1 life left" thing! I remember several times where something popped up, saying I ran out of lives, to make me buy stuff, but I actually did have one left!
it’s def doing a lot more than we can see like algorithm wise. i think it measures how much time you’ve been away/ so it can calculate whether to make you win a level. i am so sure that it cheats so that you can stay longer. i don’t think there’s any kind of rhyme or reason to it, otherwise you’d think you would be able to memorise it. the fact that it’s basically by chance that each level is won i’m certain they control that outcome. i’ve had levels where i was so close to winning but every move didn’t give me a match so instead i’m losing moves instead lives. i hated it so much i had to make myself stop 😭
They have AI controlling the droppings of the candy pieces to achieve that situation. King did this way to extract more money from you and keep you playing and _paying._ This game is not RNG... no way RNG can pull that 'close to winning' tricks that frequent, it's AI. I've read multiple forums and people think it's all AI. This pattern isn't limited to Candy Crush, but across all King games.
Legends say that Keelvin is still playing candy crush to this day
Not only it ruined his life but I just got a candy crush ad
I agree. Especially when you stuck on Legendary difficulty over 50 times. It is impossible to beat level without use items and watch ad. I want someone bring level designers of Candy Crush to beat Legendary difficulty without use any items and gold. If they can't beat it within 20 lives, company must give 1000 golds or close company.
It is rage game disguise in chill game.
I recommend play Bejeweled 1, 2, 3 and Twist is better. Bejeweled games are pure luck and skill play.
I love how I get a Candy Crush ad as soon as I'm about to watch this video-
Just uninstalled a brain-dead game like this. Thank you for making me notice the problem x-x
uHoH nIgHtmAriShLy haRd DiFfIcUlt lEvEl AhEad got me
my man out there being addicted to candy crush... candy drugs
The best way to get over the Candy Crush addiction is to replace it with one of the many clones out there. Try the Jewel Master series..........Jewel Master Egypt was one of my absolute favorites. Polish off those old handheld consoles like the DS and 3DS and wean yourself off that Candy Crush habit.
There's always Bejeweled though... the most basic gameplay.
If you need challenge, try Call of Atlantis, Atlantis Quest or Jewel Quest - all doesn't have a move limit gimmick as CC has.
This is the game my entire family played and stopped young and old!!
Rofl If I can't exit the game, I'm turning my phone screen off, then on again. Mobile games aren't my thing, but I used to download them because people around me were always playing them.
I would either get bored or never play them, so I would delete them.
Candy Crush was fun for me for a month or two.
im so dumb that candy crush was too hard for me after the tenth level so I stopped playing after 2013
Same.
It's not too hard for me but it's unfair. Level 165 is one of the concrete proof. 99 blue candies in 60 moves. Sounds doable ONLY if the candy drops are random. But it's not. The candy drops are _controlled by AI_ and that alone made the level impossible to beat. The AI can not only deprive you of the needed blue candies, it also deprive you of potential matches to remove the bombs in the level. There are other levels where such AI is involved in screwing up your plays - intricately calculate what candies to drop after every player's move.
This game is rigged and unfair and that's why I stopped playing this game ever since. The final nail of the coffin was them trademarking candy and saga.
How ironic that i got a candy crush ad right before this video started-
Me and my roommate developed an obsession and since friends can send each lives on candy crush, we both basically had unlimited lives
I do this exact same thing with Gardenscapes I wait a while then the game gives me the “we miss you “ bonus and I just cruise through it
I think binding of isaac makes you feel worse when you die lmao
Bejeweled 3 is just this game without the toxicity of mobile game design
Love how I got a candy crush ad while watching this. 🙃
My entire uni dissertation is dedicated to shitting on games like this.
i honestly think that it was so much better back before they changed the map
Funny enough, I just got a Candy Crush ad before the video played.
(CCC)
(Candy Crush Crisis)
The fact that I got a candy crush ad before this is hilarious
This video made me uninstall Candy Crush. I was never tempted to spend money because I delete my Googleplay account from my phone after I'm done installing apps so the game couldn't access the store, but the difficulty level being so rigged became insulting. I just wish I could find a basic 3match type of game without any daily goals or rewards or whatever...
i can’t stop seeing it when i go sleep. i still see the candy in my sleep
This happened to dragon city too im not happy, every time you load the game you have to exit out of like 10 pop-ups for real money ads it is so annoying
Popup ads are annoying as well. And sometimes if you click the 'x' carefully, you think you have closed the ad, right? Nope, they install malwares the moment you click it, the "Execute download" button is disguised as the 'x' button. They constantly try to deceive you.
Man candy crush missed you and there happy to see you after SO MANY YEARS
I remember playing candy crush only for a little bit when I was younger, so i don't remember much, but i do remember the blue candies not being turtles. What the heck happened?
It's just a temporary event. You're supposed to try to crush as many blue candies as you can to get boosters, but these kind of events usually have crappy rewards
I remember installing it again once and my brain somehow just wasn’t really pleased by the “dopamine rushes”
It didn’t take too long to even delete it, if you want to play an actually good game play battle cats instead.
I don't like Candy Crush or any King studio game in general, because they follow even similar concepts and others mobile companies imitate it just to get more downloads. I don't like Candy Crush, because it has a crap ton of levels that never wants to end.
I LITERALLY HAD CANDY CRUSH AD JUST WHEN I PRESSED THIS VIDEO WHAT
Once I clicked on this video I gotten a candy crush ad divota.
idk if it was intentional or whatnot but like the ads i got for this video were all candy crush ads i find that ironic lmao
And it's always unskippable.
I'm just over 1000 levels .
If I don't go on it every day (I dont)I get notifications galore trying to entice me back.
I have got this far without spending a penny buying power ups,lives or anything to help me,everything I've used I've earned it,I know I'm going come stuck soon I'm actually surprised I got this far without buying anything.
I got a candy crush add before watching this
I'm working on a certification for work, and after putting a day off of study because of Candy Crush i uninstalled it. I was disgusted with myself.
couple months ago i kept getting streaks i’m talking in the hundreds up to like 200 levels i was passing level after level till it all cam crashing down wich then led me to spending little money here and there and not to mention i bought this even pack and apparently the game broke down or glitched and never ended up getting anything so yeah it will make addictive to the point your paying money
I GOT A CANDY CRUSH AD AT THE START LMAO
imaging having that problem i gave up on the second level and never played it again
I thought I'm the only one who got candy crush ad before the video starts
I got a candy crush ad at the start of this video
