I made it pass Siberian Sorbet rather quickly and was surprised that I came out tops again in this chapter! Yay.
But sadly, I am too fast for the updates on the iPad and I have to wait for Cloudberry Creek to appear. Yes, been at it on the laptop, no choice.
I must admit I almost gave up Candy Crush Soda over the weekend. Level 415 was just so darn difficult! Although I progressed for Candy Crush, having to play it the last few days on just the laptop (again) and even progressing for my Farm Heroes, my frustration at Candy Crush Soda left me toying with the idea of giving up.
Thankfully, an opportunity presented itself but I had to use my precious gold bars for five extra moves before succeeding. Phew. I would be terribly upset if I didn’t make it and would have given up then and there.
As for Candy Crush, it was a pleasant reward to be crowned champion for the Mellow Marshmallow chapter. I have moved on to Siberian Sorbet and after waiting for two days, the game has automatically updated for the iPad. So back at it on the iPad and I now sit at Level 1069.
My book, Genghis Khan, is pretty intense to read. I am constantly seeing vast lands of Mongolia as my imagination goes into overdrive. So I jump back to my games to reset or clear my thoughts.
Luckily, the latest chapter of Candy Crush on the iPad, Luscious Lagoon, was pretty easy. Made short work of it within a week and now I have to wait for Mellow Marshmallow to appear for the iPad. I must confess, I played it in Facebook on the laptop and now sitting at Level 1043.
However, my other two games are not so friendly. Stuck at Level 415 of Candy Crush Soda and Level 770 of Farm Heroes for sometime now. Sigh.
It was a good thing I bought two new books to read. Level 1001 of Candy Crush is by far the toughest. Reading’s a good reprieve but I could not let the challenge go.
In the end, I used my precious gold bars, nine pieces mind you, to get that extra five moves and thank goodness, succeeded in passing the level. I have moved on to Tasty Treasury, the latest chapter on the iPad.
As for Candy Crush Soda, I’ve decided to take a break from it because I simply cannot go pass Level 415.
So back to reading.
The last two updates of Candy Crush for the iPad seems to be very generous. I have progressed on upon completion of a chapter without having to ask for tickets.
Yesterday morning I completed Soda Swamp and made it to the next chapter, Candy Clouds without the need of friends sending me tickets. Cool.
My last entry on my three games had me stuck but perseverance and determination saw me finally made it pass Level 951 for Candy Crush and Level 748 for Farm Heroes. But Level 375 of Candy Crush Soda has been problematic. Why?
Surely I can overcome. After all, many a time when I hit a snag in any of the three, it takes strategy and patience. But this time… Ugh. Patience has turned to annoyance.
There’s something wrong with the latest Candy Crush update for the iPad Mini. It is not stable on the device (but okay in Facebook on the laptop). Over the weekend whenever I launch the app on my device, the game appears right at the beginning at Candy Town, Level 1! This has never occurred before.
It is mildly annoying because I have to scroll to get to where I am. And at Level 942, that’s a lot of scrolling to do. What’s even more annoying is when I click on lives sent by friends to use, after my five rounds, it goes back to Candy Town and I have to scroll all over again! Aargh.
King.com had better fix this glitch soon. But luckily, I have completed the episode, Minty Meadow, so I don’t have to deal with this until the next update. I shall play Cookie Crossing on the laptop. Am now at Level 951.
Whenever an app has an update, the game becomes easier to overcome. Like when I was stuck at Level 914 of Candy Crush not too long ago, it took an an app update to make level easier and soon, I was zipping through the levels.
This morning Candy Crush Soda had an update and what do you know? I managed to pass Level 365, likewise for Candy Crush. There was an update yesterday and when I played Level 939, where I have been stuck, I managed and have moved on.
Now if only the same can happen for my Farm Heroes. Have been stuck at Level 748 for sometime now.
I thought I was going to be stuck at Level 914 of Candy Crush for a long time, bunched up at this point with several fellow candy crushers. This is by far the toughest level I have encountered.
But last Thursday, the unexpected happened. I was traveling in the car, on the way to the bank, when I played the game and the breakthrough came.
I must admit I had to use the lollipop three times when faced with just three jellies and not many more moves left to go. After the breakthrough passing 914, I breezed into the new chapter, Delectable Depths, with relative ease.
I am now at Level 927.
Frustrated that I could not progress for my usual virtual games, I needed a distraction and decided to try the game, 2048. The girls and hubby play it all the time but I abstained fearing addiction.
My goodness! It is quite addictive. There are several versions available to download but I find the five tile version easiest to lull away time. Every now and then, I would pop over to this whenever I find myself stuck at my usual games.
