Pikmin Bloom: Flower Card 2024 Collection Complete

I kind of hate the Flower Card collections in Pikmin Bloom. Probably mainly because the first collection (now called 2023, but it was 2022 when the first Flower Card event occurred) I did not manage to complete the first time around or from the later opportunities. But also, there are just so many variations to collect. However, yesterday I managed to finish the 2024 collection without spending any coins (or even having any mushroom tickets to use, which has helped me get further in events in the past, but I have been out of them since January).

It came down to needing a Purple one to finish my collection.

My InboxDollars Game Offer Experience: Candy Crush Saga

I downloaded Candy Crush Saga on Android as an offer on InboxDollars (referral link) to play and earn points to redeem for gift cards or Paypal (mostly I do this). The offer could also have been done on iPhone or iPad, but I prefer to do these games on a cheap Android I got just for doing game offers so I can play them and still be able to use my iPhone as usual.

Overall I enjoyed playing this game and could have easily finished in fewer days if I had less going on during the time I was doing this offer.

Offer Goals (Must complete within 28 days of downloading)

General Tips

Spin Booster Wheel daily for some boosters. I feel like I most often got 30 mins of unlimited Rainbow Sprinkles booster, so I tried to spin it when I knew I had time to play the whole unlimited period.

Winning the Episode Races was key for getting gold to use for extra turns and boosters to win levels. I found I mostly won except when I ended up not having time to play for a few days in a row.

Using all boosters I had available on Hard, Super Hard, and Legendary levels. Early on I tried not to use boosters unless I was having trouble with a level, but after about Level 500 I would use them if I had them for any Hard, Super Hard, or Legendary level. Sometimes it helped keep a streak going and keep the win streak benefits. However, I also found sometimes the boosters did not help because there were such limited places for them to be and they did not do much versus playing without any boosters.

Using Gold for extra moves is what I found most useful, but I learned to not waste gold until I failed a few times unless I really knew I could finish with just 5 more moves. Each time you fail the number of moves spending 10 gold increases. To make my gold last longer, I would use it when I could get 25 or more moves from it. The Beat the Buffet type events were great for getting past hard levels because with unlimited lives I could fail a level several times and get to the point of being able to use 10 Gold and get 25 or more moves.
