Candy Crush Saga Level 1288

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1288 Candy Crush Saga without boosters.
Try to get to the mystery candies as quickly as possible and with luck they will give you the combos you will need to unlock and clear the chocolate at the bottom.
Once the chocolate is gone it won't come back so you can concentrate on clearing the jelly.
The combos will also grow the popcorn in the middle to give you a colour bomb.
This can be quite a fun level once you get to the mystery candies with lots of cascades and colour bombs appearing.

This level has been made harder and here is the latest video from YT with 12 moves made without boosters.

After one unsuccessful game without checking your site, I watched your video and aced it with 3 stars by totally working mystery candies on left side of board as you suggested. Sure enough, more special candies cascaded down with each move and they pretty much took care of clearing the board with just a bit of guidance on my part. Thank you!

Followed your advice and worked only on the mystery candies of the top left side. Once your opened up the board, the rest was history. Very fun level, and enjoy.

All I can say is fun, fun, fun! Lots of cascades and I love mystery candies. Had no problem with the chocolate. Just watch the bombs (I hate them).
First try, no boosters, three stars, 34 moves left. I'll be playing this one again.

Excellent advice to work on the mystery candies! Worked like a charm. So many explosions. Didn't worry about bombs or chocolate (both of which I totally abhor!). Finished with 30 moves left and over a million points. Oh that all the levels could be like this! I don't need to wish everyone luck! This is a fun level!

Crazy level. Clears itself with a little help of strategic matches!! NC

It was like watching a the 4th of July fireworks. They just kept exploding themselves. 3 stars over 5 million points. I thought it was malfunctioning for awhile.

Finally!!! A fun game which has become such a rarity here in candy crush land. Going to put the game down after this one and wallow in the success (first try) because I'm sure the nightmare levels will will return after this one.

After reading the comments I was looking forward to this one but obviously I'm not in favour at the moment. All my mystery candles have yielded so far are chocolate, blockers & more bombs. I shall wait in hope of the cascades.

The power of posting. Next go delivered the cascades..

Finishing with over 30 moves left? I only have 20 to begin with.

I also only have 20 moves to begin with!

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm playing a different game from everyone else.

I get only 20 moves, to start with. The mystery candies never give anything that can help clear the board.

Boring level.

Jennifer said...

Cleared this on the first try. Tried to keep up with the bombs, then decided to ignore them and work the bottom of the board, which led to opening the board up more and then the mystery candies took over and grew the popcorn and cleared the board for me. Fun level.

Grrrrrrr. I took your advice and it went just the way everyone said. Everything blew up and when I cleared the board, it froze!!! Needless to say, I didn't complete the level AND I lost all the lives I had in my inbox!!! They make this game hard enough without stupid stuff like that happening!!!

Anon lafy said...

That tip worked for me. I did it first time, but I thought I"d do it again and no, three times I got chocolate or a bomb. So I can see it might be frustrating. Just ,keep trying and you will get there.

Keep at the mystery candy hopefully they will form combinations to clear the jelly. Ignore the bombs completely.

This is a useless level IMO. No skill comes into it.
I was playing away with chocolate multiplying all over the place& all my special candy being eaten, thinking this isn't even marked as a hard level & I'll never get through, when suddenly things started exploding, the game carried on by itself & suddenly it was all over with 3 stars.

I don't know what happened really. I don't mind easy but I do prefer levels where I think I am at least playing the game. 1/10

I also have only 20 turns on my iPod, which makes it seem impossible to me. Has anyone with only 20 moves finished this level? Thanks.

Hi. Yes I have. 20 moves and somehow finished it first go with 5 moves left. Not sure how it happened but I got a couple of wraps side by side top left and that set off a cascade that went on until every jelly was zapped.

Anonymous said...

I only have 20 moves. And it's a "harder level". I'm waiting for a 'lucky board'. I just started it, so the more I try, the better I'll do. :)

Gudrun said...

I've been trying it for days on end now, game after game. The only mysteries I get are either chocolate, stone blocks or, if I'm lucky, a chocolate bomb, wrap or striped behind some jelly, so quite useless within 20 moves.

Still waiting for that one lucky board, no skill involved. Blah.

Gudrun said...

EDIT former post: made it after about 150 tries (no joke). No fun at all.

I only have 20 moves as well. Very jealous of those of you who finish with more than I start with. Between the chocolate and the bombs this level is proving to be impossible with just 20 moves. If there is a match of special candies it is normally more chocolate. I don't think a lucky board is even going to help with this one. Love this game. Sad.

I guess the good thing about this level is there's no such thing as coming up just short of defeating it. In each failed attempt I knew after one move that I was a goner. A typical first move, a 3 combo of Easter eggs, resulted in a frozen stripe, a fish (not frozen!), and a brick. The stripe and brick completely clogged the top left. Game over.
Don't worry about having only 20 moves. If you can't pass the level in 10 moves, infinite moves won't help.

I see they have now called it a hard level

Hey, I had so much trouble with this level, but after reading this tip, I completed after first try! Thanks a lot.

On the demo video there are 30 turns ...
Yet I have only have 20 - have tried all 3 devices, and they’re all the same. Very frustrating.

My iPad is only giving 12 moves!! I have checked multiple times- only12!!

Anonymous said...

I am on a iPad. The old level you got 50 moves to get 53 two layer jellies. Now in 2018 one only gets 12 moves having to remove 65 two layer jellies!!!!! Please update the hints info as the current hints are out of date!

I also have only 12 moves!! Seems impossible!

I only have 12 moves too! I can't win this one.

Anonymous said...

I only had 12 moves also. I had to turn on every booster available and even following tips it took a lot of luck

Anonymous said...

passed this using only 4 out of the 12, however I used the fish and the chocolate sprinkler. I just sat back and watched!!

Anonymous said...

I also only have 12! I think I may have to give up. Been trying forever!!

Anonymous said...

I only have 12 moves-- impossible!! WTH cc?? This is positively ridiculous that the difference in moves continues!! Sure as heck takes the fun out!

Anonymous said...

I also only have 12 moves and its crazy. I don't see how this is so doable with so few moves?

Snoozin said...

You're right, only 12 moves now. I'm usually more optimistic but not this time.

kdmask said...

OK - help 12 moves? Is this for real!?? Is it a glitch or what? I’m on an iPad and seriously stuck

Anonymous said...

12 MOVES ??!!!!! Are you out of your freakin minds over there at King ?!!! Just trying to get rid of players I guess . Unspeakable greed !

bmcarter2002 said...

I have the same difficulty as everyone else. I get 12 moves, which in my view, is IMPOSSIBLE. If you disagree, please share. The problem is that you cannot win without BUYING boosters, which is EXACTLY what King.com wants you to do. When the game is IMPOSSIBLE to win without boosters, then it's NOT a game of skill. It's a game of chance, and in the state of California, offering games of chance to the public over the internet is ILLEGAL -- read that again: ILLEGAL. There are no exceptions, just as casinos cannot offer games of chance that cost money without a license (like Indian casinos on reservations.) Otherwise, not to anyone in the state of California. This isn't the only level that's IMPOSSIBLE to pass without BUYING boosters. King.com doesn't answer my letters, and I'm getting ready to take them to court. All I wanted to do was have a real chance to win that wasn't based on dumb luck. Good luck with that. King.com ONLY wants your money. Okay, I'm done. Thanks for reading. See? I can be upset and angry on the interent without using cuss words or vulgarity. Make no mistake, however, I'm BOTH. Thanks for listening.

This is where I delete CC.

Unknown said...

Yep, only 12 moves here as well. Been working on this for days . Totally impossible. What is up????

Cmitch said...

Only 12 moves is impossible. No moves to open mystery candies. Not fun!

poorolrich said...

12 moves here--very hard to get to the ?candies--then, a lot of them are more blockers. Hopefully I'll get the winning layout before I quit.
