User blog comment:Tricoro/Random Variable during Gameplay/@comment-27958293-20160316001028

How about obstacles placement? I'm relatively new in Cookie Run, and I remember quite clearly that there are a couple of variations in the obstacles placement, such as a couple of first stages in Episode 1. The first couple times I played, I was all 'Huh? I don't remember this obstacle from before!', and went all panicky, jumped carelessly, and hit the obstacles.

And yes, I also agree with Pgrobban. There are times when we begin Episode 1 with a cluster of jellies, but there are also times when there's no jellies at all for some time or so.

I think these two variables, while not have much effect for advanced players, could affect severely for new players who have very limited Cookies, Pets, Treasures, and experience (and with no Magnetic Aura to boot), because for them, even the difference of a couple hundred thousands of points could be crucial.
