This event is basically a mash-up of Candy Crush Saga and Challenge Accepted. That match-3 concept exists in dozens, if not hunders or more games and that "Leaderboard" for that is literally the same concept as Challenge Accepted, but this time instead of giving any XT Drones, it gives an animated paint that was meant to be ONLY in special offers/bundles, but somehow it still appeared again. For example the Turbo animated paint we all see rn. Imma quote a few words from a topic regarding that, link to that is in spoiler: So honestly, I'm not suprised some people are mad about it, since it was written that such paints will be found "ONLY IN BUNDLES" like for Turbo paint, Cryo and few other paints, not in some new version of Challenge Accepted thingy. Not gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about that, cause many consider it lying to players for the words I quoted and similar ones if there really gonna be such "Challenge Accepted v2" in the future, but it still kinda makes that paint unique in some way since only 1 player gonna get it. No one should be surprised by the controversy surrounding this.  In this event the Bronze Contracts finally are way more valuable than in the past, but, as it is in one of the memes, "[...] but at what cost?". Now they are for crystals, but now the Silver Contracts are for Rubies (same amount as in the past was for Golden Contract - 290 Rubies, like for example in the ""Tanks in Space" mini-game 2026") and the Golden Contracts costs 990 Rubies. Hmm... I guess that's the solution for only that "Candy Crush Saga + Challenge Accepted" events (or not, who knows?). Hope we find out more how it gonna work in next events (depends if there will be such concept again + what type of event gonna be 🤔). Fact that there was a Token Of Apology yesterday and gave free 150 Rubies (in form of 1 day of Ruby Pass) made this event available for everyone who claimed it. Also 15 Energies was a really good incentive to participate in that. Giving 1 Star and 1 Epic Key for that is a pretty small prize (ridiculous), but at least something... My opinion? IMO that's a pretty fun event and finally some new type of event in this game. Maybe not original one, but for sure sum new thing in game. Since they gave 150 free Rubies and even few energies to encourage people to participate, imma play a bit of it. I'm pretty disappointed that some thing were locked behind a small Ruby fee like: "Bomb" - in mentioned type of games created by matching elements in "L" shape or "T" shape, "Overdrive" - created by matching 5 same elements and matched with any element cleared all the elements in visible game board, "Linear Strike" - basically matched 4 elements and which being matched with 2 other elements it can clear all elements in a line or column where that "striped element" was place (depending how it was made ofc, if elements were moved horizontally or vertically) I think those 3 things should be free and available to reach by just playing that in the game field and matching elements as I described. What should replace them? Well: "Hammer" ability - for the cost of 20 or 30 Rubies it can break a single element, without losing any energies /"moves" "Magic touch" ability - for the cost of 10 or 20 Rubies it can move two elements, even if they don't match each other +  it doesn't use any energy /"moves" Mentioned above "Bombs", "Overdrives" and "Linear Strikes" BUT as a replacement for one of the elements in game field and to buy for like 10-15 Rubies. I mean to replace 1 element that isn't going to create those 3 things with those "boosters" and after replacement can be used by matching 3 elements or more. Even if there is an option to create them for free, but maybe to make some good combo (many elements match with the rest which are on game field already or appear and match with existing ones). Oh, not sure if combo points (as small bonuses to points earned if combo happens) might be a good idea since it might increase required points to unlock sum prizes (and if those ideas I gave might actually be implemented ["yeah, in your dreams"]). Also not sure if that's too much to give ideas for such events if they gonna repeat. Well, we gonna see. Maybe they will repeat.
