4th try, 3 stars (264,740 points), 17 moves remaining, NBU. So out of my 4 tries and the 3 where I did not pass, I had 2 games where I had 1 jelly remaining in each & only one game where I didn't come close(that was actually my 3rd try). When I saw the IH rating I thought ok, I must've just been lucky again. But then really reading through the comments, there are quite a few where others also say they were lucky & passed 1st try. And others saying they feel the level is overrated, etc. So I'm honestly not sure what to think. I'm just going tbh about my own experience, I found it to be somewhat easy. Even the one try where I got eaten alive by chocolate, that felt more like a fluke to me since my first cpl of experiences were so different. I normally would be frustrated by a board where I was being eaten alive by chocolate but it was so funny to me for some reason. I could just be cracking up from lack of sleep lol. But I really was actually laughing out loud at it. Just a tip I didn't see mentioned (many good tips are mentioned btw, such as going for wrapped candies, I especially found wrapped/wrapped to be helpful... And I wasn't even doing it intentionally but blowing up a bunch of the spawners at once also seems the way to go.) Anyway, just wanted to add if you make a CB near the spawners, use it immediately if you don't want to see it get eaten! There is also a lot of opportunities for specials and combos and I definitely took advantage of that. I had at least 2 or 3 CB/striped combos my winning game but I first just concentrated on making as many matches as possible to break the initial icing & clear jellies. Also making a horizontal striped & setting it off on the bottom row after you've done away with the majority of the middle spawners will help breakup the corner ones. And after that, it seems like just regular matches seem to break the spawners at some point. The chocolate is definitely viscous but breaking it up doesn't ensure victory since the spawners will just keep going as is noted. I think ultimately, those spawners are just really viscous & you need to be really viscous back & just keep attacking them with whatever you've got. And just stay on the lookout for specials, because there's opportunities everywhere! 😳
