Currently, Candy Slam can either be played solo or against another player.
Single player works fine. Maybe it’s a little easy, but it’s fine. Versus mode however, is essentially pointless to play.
As far as I can tell, the amount of candy does not change when playing with two people. As a result, both players will always get less tickets than they would get playing solo regardless of performance. You’re essentially just dividing the tickets in half for each of you because the game is so easy it’s basically impossible to miss.
A quick and dirty solution to this would just be to make the game co-op. Each players slams count toward a single ticket pool, and both players get the amount from that pool when the game is over.
