Mobile-9 tries, 3 stars (curse officially broken), 4 moves remaining, NBU. Ok so here's the deal. After running out of moves in 6/9 tries due to chocolate blocking off new candy to fall & having it be game over, I finally figured out how it's possible on mobile/iPad. Oh & just FYI the other 2 tries I only needed 3 & 2 more pieces of chocolate respectively. That's part of what confused me. On my 3rd try I only needed 3 more pieces of chocolate so felt it was possible but it took me awhile to figure out how. First off, don't bother making wraps unless you're at the very end, only need a few more pieces and can easily make & set off a w/s quickly. But in general focus on making vertical stripes in the rows that they're chocolate, and try to make as many matches towards the top as you can, until you fulfill the icing requirement of course. But the idea is to keep candy flowing from at least one section on top or you'll run out of moves & it will be game over. Licorice shouldn't be a problem as it will keep coming down regardless. So ofc collect it but focus on the chocolate. As soon as it starts forming, you should have a vertical stripe ready to hit it & then just focus on keeping one section open until you fulfill the requirements. But the reason you've got to be so quick to set off specials is otherwise, as I mentioned, the chocolate on top will block any flow to the bottom & I think also if you wait too long licorice will block you as well. You don't need them all open, just one is ok even, two us even better but I didn't have any more than one or two open when I passed. Regarding combos, it's not that they aren't helpful but they have to be very well timed. For instance I had a CB/CB combo in one & thought I had I had it in the bag but it was early on so everything grew back, trapping me. Even a CB/striped wasn't helpful at one point because none of the stripes hit the chocolate, just destroyed all my candy down below for another game over. But my passing try, I was able to make one that won the game for me, though I had to plan. I needed 5 pieces of chocolate left at that point so let it grow in before setting it off. Also, again I already had at least one section not blocked by chocolate which helped immensely. And in the beginning I'd started out slow with a striped/striped combo, as soon as any chocolate appeared, to collect it but also to keep it open up top. Anyway hope something in my rambling helps someone! It's not impossible for mobile players, just much harder as usual 😩😤😱 Sigh.
