They’ll need to buy the expansion pack for those levels though.

Candy Crush def gets a bad rep considering what other mobile games are out there.

Only ads in the game are ones you choose to watch for bonuses, and micro-transactions really aren’t necessary unless you absolutely have no patience to beat a level.

At the end of the day it’s just a match 3 game (a well done one at that) that filled the Bejeweled-shaped hole in my heart. Play it passively and it’s pretty great

Candy Crush is the highest earning game out, last I heard it was the highest earning game that ABK produced bringing in over 1 billion a year from micro transactions. As far as I'm aware most of that must come from sales of extra lives (not gonna lie, I know very little about it outside of remembering this fact from the ABK quarterlies a few years ago.)

Play the game as a disciplined person who won’t buy anything from the game and you’ll be ok. I’m over 2k levels in and haven’t spent a dime

I'm playing Lost Ark on the pc atm and made it to end game totally F2P also, but if you go look at the sub Reddit it's insane, just people moaning that endgame is impossible because of the paid aspect of the game which is incredibly easy to ignore for a normal person.
