Talk:Level 181/@comment-24693751-20150304102255

Oh NOW they nerf this stupid level!!?? Grrrr....I cannot tell you how much I despise this level! This is literally the only level that stands out in my mind as insanely hard & it nearly drove me insane!!! I swear it's like my brain just froze at this level & I honestly can't remember any other levels after it that I found as difficult. I know there were other levels I probably hated just as much but I always would think, if I got through 181, I can get through anything! When I did pass it was with 3 stars, which I just went back to verify. The only other # that sticks out in my mind is 70 but for very different reasons. I passed 70 on my first try with no boosters & got 3 stars. I had no idea it was considered so hard until after I passed I went to this other site that I used to frequent. I would always try the levels first on my own but then go to the site after & look up the level either just to share my experience with others or to get help for levels I was struggling with. All I remember is being sort of surprised when I read how much trouble most people were having with it & when I shared that I'd passed my first try with 3 stars I was met with outright outrage & suspicion from certain people. Which I tried to just take in stride but...I mean I'm always very honest about if I do well on a level or am having trouble so I found it a bit silly. I mean it's not like I was going around claiming to pass every level on the first try without boosters & getting 3 stars! I'm sure it was some combination of luck & skill for that particular board. Anyway, I'm only bringing it up b/c I had the polar opposite experience on 181. That was the first time I think I was stuck on a board for like a week(&I played all the time!) I really almost gave up on it but would keep reading of others who had struggled finally passing & feel encouraged. That's why I always try to write my experiences with different boards & tips that I find helpful, esp for the more difficult ones, in hopes I can help encourage someone else to not give up! I'm almost tempted to play the nerfed version but I swear this level traumatized me lol. I don't think I can bear to go back there. I can't even vote on hardest level polls because I wasn't kidding about not being able to remember any other levels #s past 181. I remember details of ones I found difficult but not the #s. 181 is just burned into my brain forever! Thanks for letting me ramble, carry on!😉
