Level 97 (100,000 points in 25 moves with bombs) is impossible. Anyone saying they did it without boosters is a ****ing liar

I just did that one this morning, but I'd been on it for aaaaaages.

[snuffy]

And now it says I need to pay or use Facebook. So that's the end of that game then.

[Ruskie]

I would rather pay 69p for the game at the start than have this stupid system of trying to con money. If anything it makes me less interested in spending money in game.

evilly addictive - sucks time from your life and turns you into a zombie! I hacked my GS3 version so I have 999 lives... well, 890 now! And I'm not at level 30 yet!

[Ruskie]

Why do I have to involve Facebook to carry on at level 35? Just let me play FFS.

Stuck on level 28, clear the jelly and it's in a criss cross pattern with meringue and I only have 20 moves. Best I've done is down to 1 square of dark jelly. A couple more moves and I've have cleared it ages ago which i suspect is entirely on purpose to make me pay. I REFUSE TO!

I'm stuck on 167.

I've been here for about a fortnight now.

Got this far without spending a penny though.

[MissChief]

managed that one eventually, more by luck than anything! Stuck on 30 but I'll keep trying.

Ok, got to level 35 but now its asking me to pay to continue further. Does this just bugger off after a while or stay until you pay?

[ajprice]

Pay 69p or get 3 tickets from fellow facebookers.

how do you get tickets? do they have to pay?

[kowalski655]

Just ask FB friends. Totally free

Must be doing well, as I see Candy Crush is now being advertised on TV.

They must be raking it in. Soon as some people get frustrated with a level they'll be blowing 63p to get through it. Doesn't take long for that to add up. It does seem to be a well designed machine to take money from the impatient.

Edit: oh and i'm buggered if I can get past level 33. I generally only manage to clear 2 of the 4 "areas" before running out of moves. It'd cost me about £5 to get through buying moves I think!

Not sure how many play it, but must be in the tens, if not hundreds, of millions. Small micro-payments that no one really cares about and even if a small percentage of users pay it's a license to print money. Development costs must not be high, it's only a variation on the loads of other games out there that you have to get rows lined up etc. (e.g Bedazzled)

ETA : 10 million active daily players

Level 97 is now the bar steward level. 100,000 points in 25 moves with the timed bombs.

[R1-Jay]

just started playing,level 20 but need tickets from facebook friends to proceed

[Podie]

Downloaded it last night having been badgered to try it.

Up to the mid 30s level wise. Seems OK, but can't see what all the fuss is about... yet.

[Dan_1981]

Been pretty steady recently.....

Now i'm stuck on 199.

Bit of a bugger.
