Players Suggested Improvements to GD

9. Change the game play screen back to show how many resources have been won in real time during play regardless of the requirements to complete a level. It was very enjoyable to watch the total update and sometimes you need a certain amount of a specific resource to reach a goal, ie. buy a green gem, even if that resource is not necessary to the active level.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to pop in here and thank players for taking the time to post their suggested improvements in Gummy Drop!. While the Moderation Team has no control over changes made within the game, we do have the tools to ensure that your suggestions are heard from the Gummy Drop! teams. I've not only passed this thread to the appropriate team, but I've also placed it in the Helpful Links for Gummy Drop! section.

Thank you everyone for your input and for your patience. If you have any questions or further concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to any of the Active Moderators with the private messaging system. We are happy to help in any way that we can.

19. First, GD is still the best game by far. I can offer suggestions to make it better, but that does not mean I am not thankful to have such an excellent game. I have enjoyed it for two years!!

A pet peeve is that when you buy five extra moves, you don't get all of them if you win in less than five moves. I paid for five and I should be able to bank the unneeded and unused moves.

23. One more.....I would like to see the rewards for both treasure chests and helping hands (after Amsterdam) increased to levels where they are worth using so that they become a real part of the game again and not something to just ignore.

I have an idea for a new boost for the game. It would be one to remove all the stickers on any level that has them, similar to the Sunshine Boost for the Ice Blocks. You could call it the Sticker Shock boost. It would take one layer of stickers off the entire board using this boost.

Also it would be great to receive some amount of coin bonus for having a gummy drop three times in a row on any given level, where the board drops all of the gummies in one move.

I also wish that in future cities the resources to collect would change to make the game different and more exciting. For example, mix the levels up where some levels need green, yellow, and red gummys to be collected instead of the same old bricks, hats, and art drops.

Finally I wish we the players would have the ability to change resource centers in any city. For example if you chose to have a resource center factory make orange bricks, you would be able to change it to either the blue hats, or the pink art drops if you wanted and/or needed to.

Just some ideas to enhance the game and make it different while keeping the game play the same.

I also feel it would be beneficial that with each update for this game, each city that you already visited and unlocked would have a circle around it or some other marker indicating if that city itself had an update and needs to be downloaded again. I noticed that with each update some unlocked cities need to be redownloaded which is fine, but it would be nice to know which ones.

I'd like to see the ability to start my unlimited lives at the time of my choosing. (From Everest or purchase)

The ability to change the resource from a completed resource mart would be very helpful.

The coin packages seem to be too expensive for the coins given.

Since the last update in early September I am not satisfied with the following situation:

When I visited a city that I played before the zoom and the current position in the city had always been the same as I left it. So I could collect easily my ressources. With the update in the every city I visit now the position 'jumpes' to the last level I played (so it is the last one) and the zoom is on his largest scale. It takes a lot of time to zoom out, get to the places of my ressources, collect them and go to the next city.

I would really appreciat when this procedure would be undone.

Thank you.

I'm from Texas and would love to see a city in Texas added, perhaps San Antonio with the Alamo and Riverwalk area.

Wow Jules, just wow!! Great job, thanks for taking so much time and thought to this. I hope it helps and you can mark off some of these as "Done" soon.

Here's an idea for a new boost. A temporary time freeze that allows you to see the board on timed levels so you can figure out your next move without the "clock ticking." As soon as you make your move, the clock starts again.

I have enjoyed playing this game for two years now so here's my two cents worth.

I would like to see an "Update All Cities" button next time the game is updated. It took me about 30 minutes last update.

When I have completed the Everest challenge and am playing with unlimited lives, if I inadvertently press the "Back" button on my phone there ought to be a request for confirmation before I am kicked out of the level I am playing, just as there is during normal play.

Lastly, for the last three months or so, the game has been more unstable than the Trump White House. I recently diagnosed the issue which is if I turn off both my phone's data and WiFi, the game works perfectly. However, I then cannot help my friends, receive help, or get updates. As soon as I turn either or both on, the game instantly crashes.

I hope this will help the development team resolve this most critical issue.

Cheers.

ps. I have every available city loaded which may contribute to the constant crashing.

Stop making the levels as nearly impossible as you can. Once in a while a "Monumental" is great but when monumental has become mainstream it's just not fun anymore. If you can't win in 6 tries it becomes boring especially if you can't even get close. Waiting to get lucky enough to win is aggravating. I don't gamble or play the lottery ever because the odds are so stacked against you, it's a boring waste of money. Same principle here.

Last night, my tablet was lagging and at the end of a level, I accidentally brought 18 waterfalls I never use at a cost of over 2000 coins. Luckily I have plenty of coins, but this just reinforces the need for a confirmation button.

I can see where you are coming from, Gardenbird, but then again how are they going to reimburse the investments in boosts etc. of those players that have gotten through. That stage of the game is where I took the special offer of coins to be able to go on and I might not be the only one to have spent some real money there.

I really don't care about my "investment" in earlier cities, mine with game coins. I love GD but came within 5 minutes of stopping in New Orleans because it was too frustrating. It would be great for newer players to incorporate gardenbird suggestion. I am not a game expert, but GD is the only game I have played that gets easier the more you advance.

Wow, thank you jules, for this awesome effort.

Coming back to the "hard cities", may be instead of making them easier (which I really perceive as unfair to earlier players) the sequence could be changed. Why not put St. Petersburg after Nola, Havana or Cape Town after LA etc., etc. In this way it woild be possible to regain both coins and motivation before the next really hard one.

2 suggestions:
When doing helping hand levels I'm usually concentrating too much to appreciate the animations - it would be fun to be able to play them back.

The long city list on the right hand tab - could it say whether you have finished to intern,architect or master builder? When I'm waiting for a new city and playing for coins I'm forever opening cities to find there's nothing to do there.

Hi Everyone,

I also want to mention some items placed in this thread. In regards to the locked city threads, the Moderation Team appreciates your patience regarding these threads. The threads do lock after 180 days of inactivity, and it is recommended that if you see any of these threads locked, to reach out to an active moderator.

In regards to posts, please keep in mind that there are size limits as lordkalvan mentioned. Oftentimes players may see the moderators post multiple times for one entire response.

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding. If the Gummy Drop! teams relay any information on changes within the game, we will post in the forums.
