Thanks a ton for the detailed feedback – super valuable for tuning the game! 🙌

Great news: We just pushed Update v1.7 (High Stakes & Heavy Hitters), which includes a massive rebalancing pass based on your report and similar feedback. Rare Candy costs now scale drastically with Pokémon level (goodbye instant lvl 500!), we added proper level caps, implemented move replacement pop-ups when leveling with candies, and fixed the progression block past City #2 Wave 10 (no more infinite loop – beating the boss now grants the badge and unlocks the next area).

Where to find candies: They appear in the Team tab (top menu) – look for the candy counter and spend button right there once you've collected some from waves/chests/mining. A screenshot on the game page shows exactly where they are.

Best way to experience the new balance: → Start a fresh new save! Old saves may feel way too easy now or even have compatibility issues after the big changes. A new run will give you the intended challenge and progression flow.

Give the latest build a spin (hard refresh the page if needed) and let us know how the pacing feels now – is it challenging but fair? Are the move pop-ups working smoothly? Any other rough spots? Your thoughts help us make the next update even better. Ratings are also hugely appreciated! 🚀✨

Thanks again for the rapid and precise feedback – it really speeds up improvements! 😊
