    You don't have to pay a single penny if you don't want to. I've just completed level 200 and i'm moving on to Chapter 15 and I haven't paid anything at all for it - and i won't either.

    How come?!

    I'm a busy mum of two who works full time with a hectic social life so why oh why and I'm sitting up half the night playing frigging Candy Crush!!!

    I've never been one to get into app games but this is addictive!

    Anyone lose struggling with an online/app game obsession?

    Im bored with it. On the highest level cant get any further.

    Quite simple really - if you reach the end of the chapter you ask your friends to help you across, or you create some dummy facebook accounts, link them to yours and use those.

    Do not ever pay any money towards this game at all ..

    Same rule applies if you're just using the app. Obviously if you want to pay money for the game it's your personal choice but I certainly wouldn't pay a penny.

    I'm stuck on 199 at the moment. I have found that I have been unable to get to any of my supposed free boosts - the main culprits being the 3 extra moves.

    You have to select the 3 extra moves before you press play and the other power ups can be selected during play from above the board, hope that helps :)

    Must say, I don't get all the fuss about Candy Crush.

    I installed it the other day, just cos I'd heard so much about it and just thought "Oh, it's a Bejewelled knock-off" and deleted it again.

    Seemed like it was a bit dodgy the way it seemed to want so many micro-payments for different things though.

    Yes it's just a supercharged Bejeweled with goals and missions. Early on in the game it's nearly identical and then it starts setting objectives and that's when you start getting addicted. Plus the company that makes Bejeweled never did release 'Blitz' for Android so their loss.

    Which speaks volumes about how much they're making from micro-payments.
