"Candy Crush is a cruel mistress. She keeps you coming back for more, but then just as swiftly, and seemingly out of nowhere, she puts the breaks on. Candy Crush teases you, only going so far and then putting up arbitrary timeouts and lollipop limits. As soon as you\u2019re really into playing, you might need to wait 30 minutes to get to the next level.\nAs Jay-Z once ranted, \u201CCan I live?!\u201D\nMy boyfriend and I couldn\u2019t wait any longer. We needed unlimited play. Enough was enough.\nSo we hacked Candy Crush Saga. I\u2019m not proud of this, but he plugged my iPhone into his computer and we followed the instructions here on CrypticHack. We were able to secure ourselves no time limit jail, unlimited lollipops, and unlimited hearts. Every level gained three stars and became wide open for us to play.\n\n@pilotbacon There's a hack you can use. My bf did it for me, so I don't spend any money and I have all the lives.\n\u2014 Gaby Dunn (@gabydunn) June 10, 2013\n\nIt's no secret Candy Crush Saga is addictive. The iPhone game, a mix of Bejeweled and Candy Land, hit the app store in November 2012 and has been labeled by many writers on many different websites as \u201Clife-ruining.\u201D \nThe Wall Street Journal says 15 million people play it daily. On the Hairpin, writer Lindsay Weber talks about messing with her phone's clock in order to trick the game into letting her play more. High-profile YouTuber Ryan Higa just released this fake trailer for a Candy Crush Saga movie following a young man who can't stop playing the game so intensely that he becomes part of its world. In four days, the video garnered more than 2 million views.\n\nSince implementing my Candy Crush hack, I am able to play as much as I want\u2014and my life has become infinitely worse. I\u2019ve missed my stop on the subway more times than I can count, ending up stranded on Canal Street playing Candy Crush while waiting for another train. I don\u2019t look up from my phone when I\u2019m talking to people, interrupting whatever they were saying with, \u201CHave you ever played Candy Crush?\u201D\nI\u2019m pretty sure \u201CYou failed to break all the jelly\u201D will be inscribed on my tombstone. I play it on the toilet, in bed, at the coffee shop, on the street. There seem to be an impossible number of levels. I\u2019m on Level 152 right now with no end in sight.\nIt\u2019s over, man. It\u2019s done. There\u2019s a reason whoever created this time-sucking lunacy put limits on it. The limits are there to protect you from yourself. Human beings were meant to have barriers. It\u2019s why if we eat too much sugar in real life, we get sick. I realize now that we were not meant to have unlimited access to Candy Crush. We will watch the world burn, and we will be too consumed with reaching Sugar Crush to notice or care.\nBy downloading this hack, I played with the natural order of the world.\nIn those mandatory breaks the game once imposed, I showered. I worked. I ate dinner. I read books. I interacted with my boyfriend.\nAnd now? Forget it. Hours upon hours go by without a single imposed break. He and I sit side by side, each playing our own Candy adventure, not a single word spoken. I am an adult. No one tells me how to spend my time. After a long hard day, maybe an hour of Candy Crush Saga won\u2019t hurt. \nBut it\u2019s the endless bounty this hack gave me that makes me understand why the creators included time limits in the first place: Sure, to make money from addicts who truly can\u2019t wait but also because people are vulnerable to Candy Crush addiction. If I wasn\u2019t broke all the time, or if I hadn\u2019t done the hack, would I have gambled away my savings on Jellyfish?\nThe lesson here is that though the hack is tempting, we all need limits, especially when it comes to digital game crack cocaine like goddamn Candy Crush Saga.\nImage courtesy of King.com\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
