Level 213/Versions

This level's history is quite fascinating.

The level used to have 6 colours and features thicker icings that a lot more difficult to remove. The formation, from outer ring to inner ring, was 2-3-4 layers.

When this level was first released, it was almost impossible, and certainly "Insanely hard". Even regular Candy Crushers such as Jin Luo took days to finish it. This was quite possibly harder than the original levels 147 and 167. However, it has since been nerfed twice. Many blockers have been removed, a lot of double jelly squares were replaced with regular jellies, and the number of colors was put from six to five, making it much easier.

It is very rare for a level to undergo two redesigns. Most levels don't even undergo one redesign. Originally, all of the jellies were double jellies, until 9 of them (located behind the Three-layered icing) became single jellies. It was still Insanely hard despite the first adjustment.

Below were the jelly locations under the icings: (Key: Green = Double jellies; Orange = Single jellies)

Eventually, the icings formation was changed to the present version. Three-layered icings were degraded to two-layered icings, and four-layered to three-layered.

The old difficulty was Very hard.

Eventually, around early September, 2013, 1 colour was removed from the board becoming 5 colours, along with moves reduced to 40, and the difficulty dropped significantly overall.
