From the 8 friends who started with me only one remains in the game. All others ask "are you still wasting hours of your life playing that joke?". Well, I will resist while I still have tokens and packs from my 20€ investment last year.

This game is like all other Facebook monetizing apps, after a few levels it will batter you to exhaustion unless you spend a lot of time or pour money in it.

I've read that Candy Crush even has a psychologist to help programmers understand how can they increase the frustration/addiction factor. They are making over a couple millions per month.
