Halted March

25 Apr

Right after I trumpeted my victory over Rancid the Raccoon at Level 173, I progressed on without much problems. Then I hit a snag at Level 181. It’s one tough challenge but patience and strategy resulted in victory albeit shortlived! Boo hoo…

I now face the dastardly annoying rabbit again at Level 182. It would sneak up and snatch the carrots before I could attempt to accumulate the 24 carrots required! Ugh… looks like I am facing a halted march. Maybe I should pray for tickets to come for my Candy Crush and get back to crushing some candies for a change.

Rancid the Raccoon Reeks!

22 Apr

Yes, Rancid the raccoon in Farm Heroes Saga reeks. It took me the longest thus far to overcome Level 173. Even with magic beans, I could not do it but patiently, with some strategizing and wit, I finally beat the nasty raccoon! Onwards I march in my farming quest.

They Must Have Heard Me

10 Apr

Right after I complained and wrote about the problems I was facing in Farm Heroes Saga, King.com came up with an update! Bwahahaha… They heard me or must have for this new version proves to be good and okay! I can launch the game and play without a hitch. Thank you!

Life as a farmer goes on.

Farm Under Seige!

8 Apr

Farm Heroes Saga had an update recently for the iPad and it’s crappy. Something is not right as my iPad Mini has become so unstable with this version, it keeps crashing. The situation has gotten worse from the initial launch and click of the level I am at before crashing to simply just crash upon launch. Eeesh. Annoying! I have not tended my farm on my iPad for two consecutive days already.

So yeah, my farm is under seige and King.com had better take note of this and fix it soon. Otherwise, the happy looking cropsies will not be happy with my absence from the farm. I could try to play in Facebook at the office, but I have to work too… sometimes.

Of Fruits, Animals and Candies

4 Apr

Candy Crush has finally updated on the iPad! What this means is I can alternate between my three games, Candy Crush, Farm Heroes and Zookeeper Battle on just one device and not fight with the girls for the laptop.

Farm Heroes was just so difficult at Level 157, I almost gave up but persistency and patience paid off. But having landed at 160 is not easy either. Sigh…

As for Candy Crush, this new chapter has new challenges. No tornadoes but candies on a rail track that moves with each move on top of time bombs! Am at Level 534 for a while now. I wonder if I should change my retired status for Candy Crush now that I am back in the race. Hmm…

And what can I say about Zookeeper Battle? I love the game!

Back in the Race!

28 Mar

Image

I stopped playing Candy Crush for awhile already and this was evident from my recent golf trip to Chiangmai. Not only did I not crush candies, I paused in my other two games as well (Zookeeper Battle and Farm Heroes Saga).

However, when a fellow candy crusher commented yesterday on one of my post that she could play on beyond Level 530 in Facebook on the laptop, I went in to check. Yes, indeed! A new chapter has started. I guess I am back in the race.

Whoa! What a Move!

17 Mar

Saturday night proved to be fruitful. We came home late after having dinner and spending some quality time with my mother, my sibling and his family. Seated in front of the tv, I felt the urge to do something with my hands, I automatically reached for the laptop and before I realized it, Candy Crush was launched. Since I am still ‘stuck’ at Level 519, why not just try.

And what do you know? I crossed Level 519! As a result, I moved a level up. Feeling pumped with this unexpected progress, I shut down the laptop and went to get my iPad. Maybe tonight Lady Luck is with me, what with just happened on the laptop. Zookeeper Battle and Farm Heroes were neglected as I launched Candy Crush again.

So I started crushing candies at Level 500. This is where all my complicated and non-synching issues began – despite being able to play Level 530 (on the iPad), my avatar has been stuck at Level 500 but I appear at Level 519 in Facebook on the laptop.

It seems that after this latest update (last Friday), Level 500 is easier to play. And true enough! With Lady Luck on my side, I finally overcomed Level 500 and my avatar leap-frogged all the way to Level 530!!! Whoa, what a move!!! I feel elated.

Lookie where I am now!

Looking clear!

Oh… and Ice Cream Caves turned clear.

Level 500 was the key to solving all this non-synching issues and I finally did it. But another waiting period beckons as there are no new chapters to move forth. The game on both the laptop (in Facebook) and iPad are now in synch and me being at the rightful place on both devices but the wait for the saga continues.

A Ridiculous Quest

11 Mar

I have been kept busy lately with my three games – Candy Crush, Farm Heroes and Zookeeper Battle. In between, of course, there’s work at the office, golf and minding the children. Throw in my reading… busy indeed.

While I have been frustrated by Candy Crush and Farm Heroes, Zookeeper Battle makes up for the frustration and balances up the agony because it’s all about skills and speed to battle. Also it does not have pretentious cute animals that pull at your heart; they are simply either strong or weak, no deceiving characters.

But why am I still crushing candies eventhough I have declared I have retired? Well, it is only to ‘fix’ the problem in hand, appearing at Level 519 in Facebook on the laptop but being stagnant and sitting at Level 500 on the iPad yet playing at Level 530. Something is not synching right, so I have to right it.

While waiting for lives, I read or alternate between these three games and still mind the children. However, I find the latest quest (Level 129) in Farm Heroes ridiculous! How does one collect 90 water droplets, 90 carrots, 90 apples AND 90 sunshines in 9 moves? Forget them cropsies looking cute, this ridiculous quest is just unachievable.

I Feel So Nasty

10 Mar

It’s amazing what nastiness can lead to. Right after I spewed strong words of disdain for the darn rabbit in Farm Heroes Saga, I crossed Level 123! If I had known this can work, I should have vented earlier then I would not be subjected to such frustration the past few days, or weeks I should say.

But let’s see how long this lasts. Level 124 is no easy peasy quest too. I may feel frustration and resort to nastiness yet again. We shall see…

It’s So Weird

7 Mar

What do you know? Right after I swore off Candy Crush, declaring to just give up, stop playing, call it quits, the app updated to the Sour Salon chapter on the iPad, to be the same as Facebook on the laptop. Eeesh.

Here’s the weird thing: on the iPad, I see my avatar still stuck at Level 500 yet I am able to play beyond Level 500 because technically I have reached 519 in Facebook on the laptop. Although I have all the stars in the Ice Cream Caves chapter after Meringue Moor, the chapter graphic just does not show on the iPad, it’s a blur. So weird.

And being at Level 519 in Sour Salon on the iPad, I can actually continue what I was doing on the laptop prior to the update, and that is to play on instead of just going with my earlier resolution a day before, which is to just give up. It’s so weird. And without frustration, I have actually progressed onto Level 530, the end of Sour Salon!!! I don’t know how to explain but the pictures say it all…

But wait! Look where I am in FB on the laptop? Level 519!!!

What’s even more weird is that in Facebook on the laptop, I am still at 519!
