I was terrified at first when I saw all the bombs but this was a surprisingly easy level! Passed 1st try, 3 stars, no boosters. I definitely had a good starting board b/c I was able to make 2 color bombs right off the bat & could've matched either one with a striped. But before I set one of those combos off, I started matching any candy bombs I could to lower the count on them which honestly didn't do much except perhaps help my score. The color bomb/stripe combo was definitely the most helpful thing, though I lost my 2nd cb after setting it off. No matter. I still needed several matches up top & just one on the bottom. I was able to make several more stripes & a vertical one took out the jelly on the bottom. I did cut it close, some of the bombs were down to 2 when I made my last match on top. I would say not to bother trying to match the bombs & just focus on making specials & combos on top to get rid of the jelly(as well as the bombs). It's interesting to me that a cpl of ppl mentioned finding this level easier than 956, To me they're like night & day. This level is on my top 3 of easiest levels in the episode(so far anyway) while 956 is definitely in my top 3 hardest, actually top 2. It's a toss up btwn that & 951 for me. And not just in this episode, in the entire game!!! I found it to be IH and I'm not the only one who felt that about 956, if you read the comments on that page. As I responded to Flockky below, I found this level to be about a gazillion xs easier than 956. However that's simply my opinion based on my experience. I understand other people found it to be not so difficult & that's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As for this level, on the other hand, I agree with the SW Easy rating. Although I did find it to be very easy & certainly one of the easiest in the episode, I don't think I'd ever rate a level with this many bombs simply, "easy". Plus I could see it potentially being more difficult if you didn't get a board that allowed you to easily make the proper combos. I'm grateful I did get such a good board right off the bat. A cpl more levels like this & maybe I'll no longer be so afraid of those awful bombs! ;)
