Approaching the one year anniversary of the discontinuation of the classic instance of Episode 1, we had downgraded it to the miscellaneous pool. I am confident the new Episode 1's leaderboard has enough run now to convey activity.

Hi, I have added new categories for the following:

  • Episode runs using boosters
  • Episode 2
  • IL for all level in Episode 2
  • Episode 3
  • Episode 4

Hi.

Some may have noticed that end of episode cutscenes were dropped since the July 2021 update. So, because our timing method was reliant on that event, I've changed the moment when the runs end on PC and Android/IOS/Emu when the Wonderful banner appears on level 10. Include below is the complete rule update.

The timer starts when you click "Play" on level 1 and ands when the "Wonderful! Level Completed!" banner appears on screen on lv. 10. Runs that does not adhere to this may be retimed. No boosters are allowed except when the game forces you to use them, like when they give you promotional Color Bomb or '+X Moves' bonus when you log in for the first time in weeks. With that said, if it happens during your run, please contact one of the mod on Discord or post on the forum instead of submitting it right away. Their uses may give you an unfair advantage or disadvantage depending on the situation, even the über slow Lollipop Hammer. We are currently trying to remodel the leaderboard to deal with special situations like these.

As such, for the run to be verified, it must meet those requirements:

The run MUST include the moment you press the button play on level 1.
The run MUST include the moment lv. 10 is marked as completed, in other words when the "Wonderful! Level Completed!" banner appears on screen on lv. 10
You MUST NOT select any boosters at any point during the run.

Have a nice evening/day everyone.

Hi everyone, I checked Candy Crush real quick. Almost all of the early levels had a major redesign on the web and, according to AmyAyayyy, the Android/IOS version. In episode 1 alone, all score levels and a hefty number of jelly levels have been replaced by order levels. Windows 10 doesn't seem to be affected. I think we have to recategorize the leaderboard yet again.

I would like to suggest the following:

  • Renaming the category 'Candy Crush Saga' to 'Episode 1' or 'Episode 1 only'. Leaving it as the game name when there's literally 7000+ levels is just silly.
  • Adding seperates categories per episode from 2 to 5 (covers all original 65 levels). That would leave a shorter and more approchable alternative than 'No Restrict'.

It had come to my attention that the weekly booster bonus (Monty's and the alien's event) has arrived in the HTML 5 version as well as being already present in Android / iOS. Since those are not bypassable by my knowledge, wouldn't it be wise to separate the caterogies by Boosterless / Booster No IGP? I mean boosters in most of the levels are significent advantage over "boosterless" even as early as lv. 7 and the entire board have boosterless runs (I think).
