Why Am I Still At It?

I can't send SOS for tickets

I can’t send SOS for tickets!

Level 578 in Candy Crush has been very trying and bordered on being a dreaded task to go through. So why am I still at it? I don’t know, I ask myself that too, constantly. Sometimes my obsession with this game is just… just so obsessive.

Despite the constant frustration, I persisted to battle the ridiculous (for lack of a better word) level of 578. Then amazingly, when I least expected it, I conquered the level. Yay! On a roll, I completed the Wafer Windmill yesterday. I am now just waiting for the new chapter to open up in Facebook, which I don’t understand why I cannot send out help to ask for tickets, when the next chapter is clearly visible on the map. Something is not right. Hmm… I guess I have to be patient.

The recent update makes no difference to me as it opened up only more levels for Dreamworld which I have stopped playing. And all this time, while attempting Level 578 and beyond, I was limited to using the laptop at home because the iPad is still showing me at Gummy Gardens, the previous chapter. So it’s an achievement of sorts given the restricted playing time that I have.

See What Did I Tell You?

True enough to my prediction, Level 578 is indeed easier with that one difference in location of the chocolate maker and less moves required to whack the brown blocks and jellies! Just three attempts in Facebook on the laptop, I finally crossed the dastardly level! Yay.

I have breeze passed the other levels easily and sitting at 588 now. Life goes on.

Should I Just Give Up?

Level 578 in Facebook on the laptop. Notice the two side jellies, the brown blocks and where the chocolate maker sits.

Now, the same level on the iPad. Notice the difference in the same elements?

Candy Crush updated again for the iPad last week. This means I don’t have to rely on the laptop to aggravate myself. Yes, I am still stuck at Level 578. Should I even bother to continue or should I just give up? Hmm…

I decided to continue for the sake of continuing, mindlessly flicking on the iPad without success. Then last night, right before I went to bed, I tried on the laptop.

And you know what?! I discovered the layout of the board differs on the iPad and in Facebook on the laptop! How could they do this again! This is the second time I made this discrepancy discovery. The first being Level 410.

After several days off Candy Crush, focusing on Farm Heroes instead, last night I discovered that the chocolate maker have suddenly shifted and now is located at the bottom of the grid. On the iPad, however, the chocolate maker sits on top! Even the two side jellies are different! The iPad version needs two hits while the laptop version, just once. On top of these, the blocks on the iPad needs more moves to break them! No wonder I have not been able to pass.

Maybe there’s hope to overcome this level because it is now way easier. The fact that several of my fellow Candy Crushers (who caught up to Level 578 and were perpetually stuck like me) finally moved on has given me hope that I can do it!

I shouldn’t just give up yet but give it another try.

My 5000th Battle!

6 Jun

Wow… I am quite the zookeeper, having done 5000 battles in Zookeeper Battle! Thank goodness for this for keeping me occupied yet not frustrated. If you must know, I am still stuck at Level 578 in Candy Crush. I think all hope and appeal is lost with the candies.

As for Farm Heroes, I finally, finally managed to get pass Level 302 and have breezed on to Level 314. The new chapter (Level 310 onwards) of Farm Heroes is set in snowy country and the new obstacle is snowballs! Pretty cute. Not as annoying as spiders or Rancid, it’s manageable. However, if I ever feel frustrated, there’s always my comfort app: Zookeeper Battle!

Not Fun Being Stuck

2 Jun

I am still stuck at Level 578 in Candy Crush and it’s frustrating, annoying and irritating. So much so, I am crushing candies less and less. And as if this is not enough, I am also stuck at Level 302 for my Farm Heroes.

Why do these apps make life so difficult for enthusiasts like us? It’s not fun being stuck. Let us through, make it slightly easier, make us happy.

Obsessed Beyond Belief!

27 May

Last week, workload in the office was quite stressful. Add in the constant evening downpour that causes the going home drive (read massive traffic jam) to be even more unpleasant, I needed an outlet to destress.

So I downloaded Farm Heroes on my phone! Something I normally don’t do – having a game that I play on three devices. It came to a point where playing on the laptop (and occasionally on the desktop in the office) and the iPad were not enough, I needed quick turnaround for lives without having to wait for people to send me, thus this decision. The latest level, 280, has taken over me, making me obsessed beyond belief! The spiders are simply horrid.

Subliminally, this is also my reaction to Candy Crush. I have reached Level 578 but this has been the mother of all frustrations! An unbelievable and ridiculous challenge, comfort from my other games does not seem to help…

Am I turning into an obsessed monster?
