19 tries, 3 stars (95,980 points), 3 moves remaining however won +5 extra moves from the wheel (is this considered a booster? I'm not sure) so I actually used 2 extra moves (for a grand total of 27 moves!🙄) Well ofc I'm playing the buffed version(iPad)and I was honestly starting to wonder if it was possible without boosters and since I may have used one anyway, I'm still not sure! I definitely can see how the 35 moves version would be doable w/o boosters and/or extra moves but this one, not so much. In all my tries, I only had one other where I was even able to create 2 cb's and most I was lucky if I was able to make one! And tbh this passing try was mostly just dumb luck. The only things I can share strategy wise is I noticed it seems easier to make cb's on the very top row or one right below it on the conveyer belt and for some reason it seems to help if you can move candies around on the very top row without necessarily breaking the icing right away(the chocolate is a real hassle). Ofc you should be looking for patterns on the conveyer belt to combine with the top row, however since you often only have one move to make that doesn't necessarily even end up working, and again you need luck as well. And my winning try I didn't even make a CB up there on my own so I guess take that advice with a grain of salt. Btw the reason I even got the idea to play around with the top row candies was from the 1st video, but ofc unlike the video, cb's didn't just start forming for me left & right lol(well not from that anyway). A better piece of advice, which I probably should've led with is when you do form a CB, as the strategy above says use it right away on another color, but I'm not sure what the strategy means when they say to use it on a color that has "least a lot on the board"? What I noticed however was in all of my other tries when I'd make a CB I'd try to use it on whatever color that was next to it that was dominant on the board and it never created another CB for me. But my winning try, I used one on the SECOND dominant color near it & Idk if it was a coincidence but another CB formed immediately. I don't feel like it was coincidence, though I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, I'm sort of grasping at straws to share something helpful because the rest was really luck, as I said. As for my my big win (lol) it's really sort of ridiculous tbh. I created my first CB on my LAST MOVE & amazingly something on the conveyer belt somehow blew it up! I had a lot of wraps around it and right after it formed there was a mini cascade so maybe it was that rather than the conveyer belt b/c actually I don't think it moves after your last move(?) Even more incredible, when it exploded a 2nd CB formed on its own! That was the whole reason I bothered to spin the wheel in the first place, couldn't believe my good luck!!! So as I said, I won the 5 moves & immediately used the 2nd CB on the 2nd most dominant color on the board next to it. And incredibly a 3rd CB formed immediately! So yeah without those extra moves, I wouldn't have passed b/c I don't have any gold bars. So I'd say factoring that in, combined with # of tries and my dismal success rate prior to my win, I'd rate this Insanely Hard after the buff. Just FYI, I'm still not 100% sure the extra moves from wheel count as a booster but let's say they do, this is an example of where I would say it's still appropriate to rate difficulty because of how high a rating I'm giving it, I mean it was the highest rating until very recently & I think "Nearly Impossible" should only be used in really extreme circumstances. So I would never have a problem with someone using any sort of booster & rating a level "IH." And I really don't want to be the ratings police in general lol. I just think where we can run into problems is when people who have used boosters vote a level as "easy" or something similar b/c obviously it's going to be much easier for those who use boosters. That's really the only point I've been trying to make these last few pages, hope that makes sense & you guys understand 🤓
