Just wait for 147

And for a little tip, I've found that some levels have different requirements on PC than Android such as slightly fewer ingredients to collect for example. Might help to get through some of the more stubborn levels.

140 is pissing me off massively.

Only discovered this game 3 weeks ago, flippin' addictive though, I seem to be constantly on it! I won't spend money on it (I might support the developers if the prices were reasonable, but when they take the piss I get stubborn and refuse to spend anything at all) or annoy my FB friends, so it's slower going, given the 3 quests plus 24-hour gap between quests every 15 levels deal. At least there is that as an option, but the last lot took me 3 days to actually beat the first quest anyway...!

Up to 79 at the moment, had several levels that took 2-3 days to get past but I guess I've been lucky not to take longer on any so far. I'm impressed how tough a simple concept can become, looking forward to seeing what the higher levels are like, although I'm expecting a lot of frustration too. Can't see myself ever reaching 300+ but who knows, in a year or two maybe?

You know the grown up that stands at the front of the room and writes things on the blackboard. Try listening to him instead of playing your phone

Showing your age there BSR.

Apparently blackboards went out with the ark. Whiteboards are not even the thing. It's all interactive projection screens now.

Presumably children can't see white on black any more. Which go's some way to explaining the fall in lane discipline.

I'm sure some of these levels are impossible without boosters.

By which I mean that I'm sure there's certain starting positions and sequences of new candy which leave it physically impossible to finish the level, regarless of your strategic choices.

I'm trying to say that 'luck' is involved to a large degree, and that even if you're a "perfect" player a level would be "impossible" if you have a run of "bad luck".

Does that make sense to anyone?

[blindswelledrat]

It does- but isn't that stating the obvious? Theres absolutely no way that every single level has a guaranteed victory outcome regardless of starting layout.
There are certain levels that you just have to play and play until you get lucky and have a good run of good colours.
I finished this over the weekend and felt a huge sense of relief that my horrific addiction to it has been put to bed. Hateful addictive st game

You mean finished it until the next update?

I felt that until the next update 2 days later.

Now completed it for the second time, itching for an update!

My current pain in the arse is level 181.

I'm pretty ashamed to admit, after being stuck on level 147 for about a month, I spent £1.38 to get the extra moves to get past the level.

It has a funny habit of making me feel great shame that game.
It must be just like a gambling addiction and I refuse point blank to work out how much I spent on the fking thing.

Also-I even bought extra lives a few times not realising that you could just change the time on your iphone to get them.

265. Stuck and can't see how it's done. It's a clear the jelly level, when you get one of the eight pieces in the jelly down the sides, they get replaced with bombs that count down with the moves. Any tips?

I'd got stuck on 65 for ages, guess I have a way to go

I figured out that a liqcorice allsort mixed with a stripey one works really well.

PS friends keep sending me lives but I'm only ever limited to 5 on facebook - how do I get these free lives?

noob question sorry

Use your 5 lives, when you're out, accept the lives sent to you and then use them.

I'm stuck on 140 too and it's sooo annoying!

Prettty sure she got thro' it ok as otherwise she wouldn't have got the option to ask friends to unlock the next set of levels. which I know she did cos I was a person she asked and accepted (despite me being rubbish and stuck on a lowly 29!)

Seems odd that mistakenly clicking on a lower level means youre stuck back at that level? (I could try this myself I suppose but I really hated level 28!)

Didn't know you need 3 people to help unlock it though so thanks for that.

For those that understand better than me, this is what she is on

I know this post is a bit old, But you don't need to pay/wait for friends to progress.

If you log out from Facebook from the mobile app, you can play 3 levels on the toll booth called Quests to progress further. I'm currently on level 70 though. It's a bit of a pain.

This one is a nightmare. The trick is to clear just about all the jelly before releasing the bombs. It's hard but if you can do that and save the fish then when the bombs come, use the fish to clear the last few pieces. I managed it in the end but the bombs get released sometimes when you're trying to be careful as chain reactions are inevitable.
