Hardest level of this episode!

Reb said...

Very hard and to be honest I bought a lollipop hammer to finish, now just waiting for Levels 501 and on!

Anonymous said...

This level, as with most, is complete luck!! I managed to clear the cakes with over 50 moves left and STILL didn't manage to get all the fruit down in time! SO frustrating!!

Anonymous said...

This level is terrible! I've never been stuck like this. Way too hard.

Unknown said...

My 3rd game I had all the fruit accounted for except one. Had 8 moves left, it would only take 2, and then…. a bomb was ready to blow… I was so preoccupied that I hadn't noticed!!! Heartbreak!! lol Now I have played countless times and haven't come close yet, but I can't give up! lol A flaw: twice it told me the only move I had was matching with a trapped fruit so I lost 1 life.. oh well!

I've noticed lots of inconsistency as I've been stuck on 500 forever. Why don't you clear the same number of cake pieces with the exact same moves? Why do players in the videos get great results with the coconut wheel and I NEvER have in hundreds of plays??? I've lost respect for the game and I have played lots! Do you have to have spent money to get advantageous games?

I blew the cakes very fast and had fruit on the right only. I didn't make any moves on the left so all fruit was on the right. I got a wrap wrap combo right by the exits then managed to get three wrap stripe in the corridor. I had one fruit left with 5 moves and worked it down and out the old fashioned way! Easier to clear one side than both. Lots of luck but I think keeping to one side helps.

Unknown said...

Yahoo!!!! I finally got it!!! I was beginning to despise my addiction and must conquer attitude!!! I read somewhere else that they stuck to matching at the bottom once the cakes cleared so there was more space to make bombs, stripes & wraps with the chocolate under control. I tried that a couple of times and won with 13 moves left. Not sure if it was luck or that, but it sure did make me happy!!

Anonymous said...

This was one of the hardest boards ever for me. Took me forever to break the cakes, and then even longer to get combos that actually helped the fruit. I got close eventually, and finally caved and bought more moves. I never do that. This game is becoming more trying than fun for me. I like a challenge, but when they're borderline impossible I don't find it fun at all. Ugh. Good luck.

Anonymous said...

Very disappointed with this level as there is a bug. After many attempts I thought I had got there. I had two moves left and my last acorn at the bottom with only a purple candy below it. I also had a chocolate bomb next to another purple candy and no candy bombs ready to explode so I should have been able to complete the game in one move - but the game finished! Candy Crush please fix this problem.

All Aussie said...

Done :)

nicholas said...

At least this is a bit fun while difficult. I would take this to crap like 417 or 419.

Anonymous said...

Just beat it on my final move with a wrapped-wrapped combo to drop the final cherry with no boosters. This level was tough and, like most at this stage, required lots of luck and combos. I think I had three color bomb-stripped candy combos and two or three wrapped-stripped combos. No real strategy, just luck and combos. Finally glad to say that I am through with this game! At least for a while until the next episode is released....keep crushing everyone!

Anonymous said...

Did it after a week but did have to buy extra moves. Might not carry on when the update arrives. Yeah right ….

Anonymous said...

This level is hard! the roller candy is useless, I made a whole row of wrapper candy with it, still nothing, two bombs, nothing, all kinds of combos , cleared the cakes with 40 plus moves left and fail........ if I ever finish this level. its the end of candy crush for me, don't care if they add more levels!

Anonymous said...

Took me three days finally did it got 1 star don't care it's done, I would chalk this up as one of the hardest levels. along with 65, 147, 421 , where my toughest , glad the game is done for me, happy updating candy crush I am DONE!

Anonymous said...

just finished 500!
one more tipp from here: try to keep the fruits in the mashines as long as possible. after you´ve cleared the cakes, first work on the bottom to open the entrance. when the fruits are down it is much harder to clear there imho.
have fun!!!

Frank said...

Hard, but fun. A worthy end of the episode.

Anonymous said...

Virtually impossible without purchasing something which I point blank refuse to do. Utter pile of sh*te - thankfully this is the last one, hopefully they wont make any more to try and frustrate us into spending money

Anonymous said...

Very hard level!
refuse to buy anything to pass previous level, but finally at this level 500 have to use 2 lollipop hammer (which i obtain it from fortune wheel)to get through...

Frank said...

Finally made it, in the last move. One star. Now on level 41 of the Dreamworld extension. Which is, IMO, until this point much more fun.

Anonymous said...

I have been on this level for 10days solid. This level is impossible after hundreds of lifes i was close once.If this is what the next lot is going to be like , it will be goodbye from me.

Sparky said...

Finally joined the 500 Club! Lots of combos appeared for me at last and done no boosters. Patience fellow CCerss! So off to Dreamland whilst awaiting 500+ !!

Anonymous said...

I finally got level 500 after playing for a few days, no boosters but only one star with a few moves left. I cleared one cake, and then kept clearing that side and all the fruit came down that side. With 1 fruit left and 13 moves, I cleared the last slice of cake with a vertical strip (took about 5 moves) then the hammer came and the last fruit dropped. :)

Anonymous said...

To add to my last comment, I really enjoyed this level. It was hard, but I came close a few times and knew it was do-able with some luck and some strategy.

Anonymous said...

Adding again to the last comment :) I started playing on Aug 31, so it took me about 3.5 months to finish. My only purchase was a lollipop for level 461, but I did use some of the free boosters and gold bars that I got from the game.

a7mad.3ezz said...

well, did it finally ..
I cheated though, used 2 of my free lollipops and got 1 star ! DAMN I AM A CHEATER !

Anonymous said...

I was very suprised to come to the end and see this hard level. The last 25 levels have been a piece of cake. Only on this level for 2 days, but I am finding it fun (for now). Haven't gotten to totally frustrated yet, but I think I too will quit once I beat this last one, regardless of any updates. Better to quit while you're ahead! Who knows what will come in the 500s if there every are any.

Anonymous said...

DONE! After just 2 tries after posting the above, I did it. Got loads of wrapped, chocolate balls and stripes exploding all over the place. WOW!

Anonymous said...

I made a comment on the 13th Dec i am still trying to do this level. I am so bored with this level i have lost all interest now i am just going through the motions giving up with strategy.

Happy Xmas to all you candy crushers

Anonymous said...

to many faults, pair of brown clusters removed zero pie or merangue,last ten moves 3 striped,wrapped pairs none of the last 2 nuts appeared until on final move then they dropped into view getting bored as the last comment said going through the motions with no interest

gamequeen said...

What does one have too do to get a bit of luck, level is so boring i have been on this one for 3 weeks. Impossible

Anonymous said...

I had been on Level 500 for more than 3 weeks and this morning, I wake up to find myself at 501, despite not beating 500 and not asking for tickets to the next board. Has this happened to anyone else? A glitch?

Mrs Wilberforce said...

Yes, i was about to report the same story...Crazy!

Anonymous said...

Me too got a free pass through to next stage, message says I am the champion of Meringue Moor so I imagine that is the reason for the pass. Whatever, I am delighted have realllllllllllly struggled with Level 500.Keep at it guys I tried literally hundreds of times.

Anonymous said...

This is so stupid CC, I've been on this level for over a month with no luck or even close to getting it. My sister gets to this level and passes it within 1/2 day. I 'm still on it although there is light at the end of the tunnel. It's not fair to us who have tried forever and now you're letting all pass with flying colors.....very disappointed with this game to say the least :(

Anonymous said...

Been on this shit level for over 8 weeks. I really think there is something wrong with my game. Anyway candy crush you have lost another player i have decided i have wasted enough time moving colours around.

Anonymous said...

I can see from the comments above and for my efforts at trying to beat this level that it is frustrating and gets boring very quickly. I have not even come close to completing this level. Will keep trying for now. This was the last level for a while and you would think they would make the last level a little more fun to play.

Anonymous said...

Where are all the choc bombs,stripes,wraps and verticals got 2 cakes removed with 50 moves left and did not get boosters it really is a waste off time!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I too have been on this level for a long time and am so frustrated!!! I cleared both cakes and only had a few more "hits" to make the bottom clear with 44 moves left---then---absolutely NOTHING!! No moves even close to where I needed them. This has happened so many times! And, yes, the last of either the nuts or cherries don't fall until it is too late to get them to the bottom! So ready to quit!!

Anonymous said...

This is the most boring level I have ever played. I am so ready to get done with this. It is impossible to keep the fruit from coming down too early. Really frustrated right now.

Anonymous said...

I had to buy a hammer to finish but have gone back many times to play this level again to see if I could top my old score - there is definitely a bug with this level . I have had striped candies and specials have no affect on the blocks good luck with this one -it is tough

Anonymous said...

I finally passed this level. I had to buy 5 extra moves which I have never spent any money on extra moves but I had 1 fruit left and it was on the second to last row. Since it was the first time after numerous lives and only having gotten one fruit in one time I decided to bite the bullet. Good Luck everyone.

Anonymous said...

I played 500 levels on iPad, but with the new update the last 15 levels I played just vanished. I'm back to 385 now with 15 "new" levels. It took me weeks to get three stars on all of them and I really don't want to do that all over again. It sucks!

Anonymous said...

I join all those above who seem to be punished by CC for reaching level 500. How does one get those color bombs? They are very rare in the boards I get (100's by now) and when I get one, have to use it to clear a stupid bomb. It is so disappointing that I got this far and now get a level that seems impossible. Some people are lucky, especially those in the demo videos. About to give up and delete this game which is no longer fun but sheer luck as testified by those who succeeded and wrote above. Would have liked to at least reach the current finish line but it appears I will fail to do so. Would have been better if CC rewarded those who got to 500 to at least end with a fun level instead of the hardest one I have attempted to solve.

Anonymous said...

The description of this level is just wishful thinking, like winning the lottery. I do not believe that the boards shown in the various videos are random and pre supplied to make the game seem relatively easy with a bit of thought thrown in. For a start those vertical stripes will only appear in the center or outside columns and are almost impossible to move left or right. Horizontals are plentiful but are useless to break or clear the cakes. The coconut wheel is also of little use as it does not go past any licorice above it. If fortunate enough to clear one cake almost every ingredient is stacked up above the blocks near the bottom which totally restricts any chance to make them fall down. Even by then you will have only a few moves left so you will fail each time. Getting a speckle and a stripe (a rare occurrence)does some damage to the cakes but not enough to clear all so you waste your time trying. Out of hundreds of attempts I have cleared both cakes 3 times with half a dozen moves left to clear the blocks below each square of which needs to be hit 5 times. If one has sufficient patience and can tolerate many hours of bored shifting of candies and restarting after a bomb explodes, good luck to you. I feel that the time is near to call an end to CC unless the developers do some modification to the level and make it a little more interesting. That is probably also wishful thinking. This level brings back memories when I used to buy weekly lottery tickets over a 10 year period. Would have been better to put the money in a jar weekly. Sure there was an occasional win but percentage wise winnings were less than 5% of total outlay. In summary this level is the most boring, annoying and useless level of the entire CC Saga with minimal chance of succeeding. But then again what does one expect for free apart from boredom?

Admin said...

In reply to the anonymous comment of 24th January... The video shown on this page was played and recorded by me.. I can assure you it is a normal game board and there is no special board for making videos..
I played this level at least 100 times over a period of several days before I passed without boosters and got the video.
You do need an element of luck but choosing the best move also has a huge bearing on whether you pass or fail. This is where the skill comes in.

Leslie said...

I agree with the admin. there is an element of luck here, but skill does play into this level. I started, trying to clear the center cages, and found that clearing the cake was the best option. Trying to keep your moves to one side never worked for me, so I concentrated on both sides and focused on trying to get horizontal stripes that would fall either into the center slot or next to the jelly that needed to be broken to release the fruit/nut(after the cakes were cleared). Don't be tempted to take a stripe or wrapped when there is a bomb in play. Those moves ended my game early several times. Hit the sides whenever possible to open up the whole board giving you more options to make specials. It is tedious to get a striped matched with a Choc. Ball, but if you can get some more striped color on the board, it does help. Wrapped/Wrapped seemed to be the ticket here, too. Really happy to be past this level!

Fredaus said...

Thank you Cookie for posting a reply to my comments on 24 January. It was not my intention to be taken personal, rather, the developers should show more commonsense in the design. I have got to 500, not without a number of frustrations but just getting there in a short period does give me some reason to be critical. By now I have had more than 400 attempts at this level, cleared the cakes maybe 6 times and once cleared 5 fruits and once just 2. Just when the going gets good the game discharges a bomb which often takes 6 moves just to clear it so I always run out of moves. A cleared board also makes it almost impossible to create vertical stripes needed to pass over the banked up fruits below. I also find that the coconut wheel does nothing except when a striped lands above it. I have now come to a stage where this level is so disheartening that I am seriously considering throwing in the towel because those good boards are obviously never coming my way. The makers should have included something to skip a level after a certain number of failed attempts and then get back to it later. Without any encouragement many players will give up altogether. Somewhere along the way someone commented that one is playing against a pre programmed numbers machine which is hard to beat which seems to be so true. I will hang in a little longer as I dislike getting to the finish line and fall over a few steps before the line. Btw I will keep following this forum and post as Fredaus (Fred from Australia).

Anonymous said...

Too difficult!!! Daaaang!!

fredaus said...

Well Admin, just to follow up,
I had another try and am close to 500 attempts at level 500. On only three occasions I cleared both cakes with more than 40 moves left. Surely I thought that each time I would succeed. But then, the game inserted a bomb in each of those 3 games and there was no possible move to get to it. I am totally disillusioned by this level as it seems obvious that it is a build in feature that one will fail. You can't tell me that it is just a coincidence as it has happened each time. Maybe I have upset the system by my comments and am being punished? I will stop playing and hand it to my daughter if she is inclined to continue on my behalf.

Anonymous said...

If the fruits come down too early before you break the cakes then they will fall to the side when you break the cake which makes it even more difficult to finish!
I must admit that my game on the iphone never looked as the video above. I even tried the chocolate bomb wrapped candy but it didnt work the same way as in the video.
The wheel acts strange too, but if you get a striped candy above the wheel it gets more power? That was the only way I cleared the blocks in the corners, and now I have succeeded twice (1 time with 5 extra moves)

Anonymous said...

I quit!!! Impossible level...

fredaus said...

Hey admin, good news. Just passed that awful level on my laptop after 100's of tries. I said last time that I would get back to this forum if I succeeded. How did I do it? Cleared whatever I could on start, especially on the left and right. Kept my eye on unlocking the cages. Whenever I got a stripe or a wrap I just took it and all the time watching for a vertical to bust those cakes. I simply went for broke and cleared the cakes with 26 moves left. On the now opened board I worked on one side to make clear passage down for any fruits to fall but battled the chocolate along the way. Once one side was clear dropped whatever fruits there were (2 acorns) on that side but still battled bombs and chocolate. Got down to six moves and had just one cherry being blocked on the second last bottom row by a candy. I knew that the chocolate would take that candy so I paused, did what I had to do and purchased gold for three hammers as I had used the wheel hammers earlier in previous tries. Only had to use one hammer to finish. Sorry that you may frown at that but the temptation was too much after such a long time of trying. What do I say to other crushers? When you stand on the edge of the abyss, do not jump. Keep thinking when you failed, try just once more - maybe this time??? Hopefully you will forgive my earlier frustrations.

Unknown said...

I played level 500 got all the fruits down congratulations you have passed level 500 and got one star but still didn't go onto the next level why???

Anonymous said...

I have played this level countless times and have never come close. It seems this level was designed to be the hardest to achieve. With 65 moves it is still hard working around all the piled up fruit at the bottom and the invading chocolate hampering your efforts to clear that all important bottom row. Even when I've done it using vertical stripe/wrapped combos, I still have only gotten about 4 fruits dropped. Can't imagine ever getting this level.. it is fun and I hate to throw in the towel at this point, but it is definitely the most difficult level to beat in my view.

Cybelle said...

Thanks again for all of you bloggers, I'm sure I couln't of been at 501 without your help. Did it in about 15 tries, bad board on pc and got it on my Iphone in 3 tries. Good luck

Anonymous said...

Tried it on my PC without any luck. switched to my iPhone without any luck so far. Does it make a difference if I stick to one side of the board as opposed to both sides? Fruit seems to fall from both sides.
Any advice would be appreciated!!!

One question, has anyone ever gotten the jackpot on the daily wheel?? Its rigged to stop just before you hit it...no fair King!

Anonymous said...

I got the jackpot once. Just got lucky I guess. The wheel isn't on my game anymore. Is it gone??

Roberta said...

What does the jackpot do if you get it?

I'mReallyHelping said...

Killer level and hard to beat. You have to concentrate on breaking up the bottom while leaving the top blocked. If the fruit falls down on top of the bottom multi-layer creams and covers them up then it is almost impossible to clear them. If I didn't make good progress on clearing the bottom early I started over. Break the pies while the top row has at least 2 layers left so the blast doesn't open the top. In the end I had to buy one round of extra turns to finish but well worth the 99 cents.

Anonymous said...

Roberta, it gives you one of every prize on the wheel.
For some reason I got my prize wheel back today.

Unknown said...

awesome one......i used two hammers and a hand to swipe i had 3 moves left nd one ingredient wow...i still cant beleive i comp it

Anonymous said...

Impossible level!! Ready to quit for sure...

Anonymous said...

WTF, cleared all the obstacles at the bottom with 9 moves left. All 4 cherries released but only one hazelnut appeared. How can this be done if not all the fruit appears?

Anonymous said...

I finally passed 500 this morning after weeks of trying. I don't buy boosters so to pass this one I saved up some free boosters - the extra 3 moves your friends send and the daily freebee. Today I got a free stripe and wrap in the daily wheel, used the 3 extra moves from a friend, and then at the end used one of those "hands" that let you move a candy to a neighboring spot which enabled me to move a stripe into the row of the last cherry. Those 3 free helps together won the game. My advice is to save up your free helps - the 3 moves, the daily freebee and whatever else you've got stored up (that normally seems almost useless) that you can throw in there. I got to where I just played once a day in the morning with the daily freebee because when you don't play very often the game prompts your friends to send you extra moves :)

Anonymous said...

My advice: Get extremely lucky. Sadly, I am not. Every time I make a color bomb/stripe combo it barely does anything. It's not divine if the results are pretty much nil. I'm not sure why I play this game anymore. I've been at this for a few days. If I don't get it by this time next week, I'll probably just quit the regular game for good. No point in playing if it's basically luck and 99.9% of the time I'm going to be unlucky.

Kmb said...

This level is no different to playing a slot machine. I have tried so many times without getting even close. Tried it on PC also which is totally useless. If King brings out new levels will they make some changes to this level? If not then why add more levels when they made it impossible to pass 500? I cannot get to grips how some people wrote above that it was fun or cleared it with minimal tries. I want to hang in there, hoping for that elusive lucky board but it seems on equal terms with a lotto ticket which I tried for a couple of years and was as useless a thought as getting a pass on this level. Thanks for all the hints by others. Believe me, I tried but so far am closer to say goodbye to Cc then to keep on trying this useless exercise.

Anonymous said...

Really, really sick of this level. No way to clear the bottom blocks with fruit/nut sitting on top of it, and no combos to clear it from above. Manage to get 3 out of four nuts and 1 fruit, several times but never better than that. I'm still trying, because it is the last level and it is taunting me to finish. I will be stepping away from cc for awhile, before I get pissed off and delete my hard-earned levels. Not fun anymore.

Anonymous said...

This level has taken the fun out of candy crush...

Anonymous said...

There is something seriously wrong with this level. I've gotten bomb/stripe combos that barely clear the cakes. I've cleared everything with a dozen or more moves to go and still have 3 or more fruits to go and they never come down. I'm tired of wasting my time on this one.

Anonymous said...

Still not passed, byut after waiting for ever for this episode I really don't mind. I rather think that most boards in this episode were to easy. What is the point of clearing a bord on the first or second try?
Well, as long as there are no new episodes I am happy to struggle on with this. :-)

Kmb said...

Another day has pased and numerous more tries. It would have been nice to get to and pass the finish line but Mr.King and Co won't let me. This level is so stupid and impassible. Have tried all the hints and tips and cannot see how one will be able to clear the cakes as a first. Good if I got some vertical stripes but those are hard to come by especially as there usually is a bomb to spoil my attempts of creation. As for trying to save that coconut wheel, just another wishful thought. Have managed to clear the cakes a couple of times but have maybe 2 or 3 moves left. Seems to me that the makers of this game are just stringing along those who have managed to get to the start of the last level. And using the freebies? Sadly the wheel spin each day is of little value and seems to be just a ploy to continue playing. What is the use of one freebie when there are only a few moves left after clearing those cakes? I am thinking of releasing myself from the daily frustration of CC very soon. Giving a level as this one as a reward for completing 499 levels is a very hollow reward. A final fun level would seem more appropriate.

this level is just plain ridiculous. it is riddled with errors and i believe it is a punishment for reaching level 500. if their aim is to stop people from playing, they have succeeded. i refuse to buy anything from them.

Unknown said...

I come here to read helps & tips NOT for whinging and complaints!! When it says the only move is a trapped candy you can get around this by just trying to move something, anything and it will kick in an realise no moves and reshuffle. No lives lost. I found the best way is try to open up the sides and the bottom before the fruit drop. I am still trying, came close a few times but no dice yet. keep crushing..

Lenora Perry, what is whinging???? And if people feel like WHINING, so what? It feels good to vent sometimes.

Seriously feel like quitting...this level is virtually impossible...have used all daily prizes, still didn't help...even spent money to pass, still no success...sigh...bye...

Debby B said...

I have never had a level so hard. I admit I don't mind putting money into this game if need be.....if there was a way to buy a pass and get off this level I would. But I can't even begin to get any of the "helpers" to work to my advantage. 5 extra moves isn't going to do it when I need about 200! This is terribly terribly frustrating!

Anonymous said...

I stopped playing candy crush for a week or two. I started playing again yesterday. I got to level 500 before I stopped and was stuck there for a certain amount of time. When I played yesterday, candy crush actually put me at level 501 instead. They let me pass 500 without a score and they didn't tell me to ask for tickets from friends! Anyone else in the same boat? I'm not complaining about this, but actually very happy! I tried 500 so many times. I am only referring to pc. My app on android still puts me at 500. So glad to not have to play 500! I hope they don't put me back to 500

Anonymous said...

I FINALLY did it with the help of 5 extra moves. Well worth the $1 just to be rid of this level. Onto level 501.

918kiwi said...

I had been stuck here for 3 weeks and one morning I went on the pc to play and I, too, was moved up to level 501. This happened a month ago. Now that I've finished CC515 and Dream World 95 and waiting for new levels, I'm back on 500 trying to pass it... still!! After hundreds of tries, I have yet to see all 8 fruits on the screen! By far the hardest level ever!!!

Anonymous said...

Still need help with 500...also when will the smartphone update be available?? No fun to play any more...

Anonymous said...

Another thing, King stop placing false adds on Facebook!! No one has ever claimed those extra prizes! When I finish level 500-515 I am deleting the game...wast of time money and FUN recreation...never again!

Anonymous said...

This is by far the hardest level ever! I wouldn't mind so much if I got a couple ingredients through each time I try. Sadly, I hardly ever get any through. The most I've gotten is 5. Saw two more on the board. The other one was nowhere in sight and I ran out of lives. The lollipop hammer seems to be one of the hardest things to get on the booster wheel. I only have one and feel I will need more to pass this level. I have more sprinkles than I know what to do with but they are next to worthless at the beginning of this level. There just isn't much room to try and keep them safe. From reading all the posts above, I know I will eventually pass it but I'm frustrated.

Anonymous said...

I am lucky enough to overcome it in about 10 attempts.

My only tactic is that :
1. Do the open the top rock so that the fruits will not come out at the very beginning. It is always the case that the fruit becomes the obstacle blocking you to clean the rock at the bottom.

2. Attack the bottom area especially the second column. This help you to clean the cake and also prepare for later fruit dropping.

A couple of you mentioned automatically being bumped to level 501 on the PC. I may just see if it worked for me. This level is brutal! Part of the problem is that it takes so long to play one round! You can spend a half an hour on 5 lives. I'm not complaining though. I made it this far and I will conquer this level! The nice thing is having Dreamland to defer to, when I burn out on playing this level. I tried Pet Rescue. Didn't like it! I'm hooked on CC so I'll just keep crushing until these darn ingredients drop through and I see "Sugar Crush". One tip that helps me is getting a vertical stripe in the center to free up the coconut wheel. It keeps the licorice and bombs away long enough to use the wheel. Just make sure that the cakes are somewhat cleared. That's my two cents worth.

Roberta said...

I just completed this level! So excited to be done. I concentrated on one side and never blew up the other cannon. Wrapped candies near the bottom helped as well as wrapped/striped combos. I only had a couple of moves left with one acorn blocked, but found an opportunity to make a sprinkled candy and lucked out with a striped next to it. That finished the game!. I hope there are no more levels. I need my life back! I only bought extra moves twice to complete the entire 500 levels. $1.98 total.

918kiwi said...

After 2 months I finally passed 500 (Legitimately, lol - see above Feb 3 posting). This is by far the hardest of all the levels. Before this one, the longest I ever spent on a level was 10 days.

There is definitely some luck involved. Nearing the end of the game, I had 2 sprinkled next to 2 stripes which wiped out a lot of the board. When I had 2 moves left there was one nut stuck 2 rows above the exit sitting on a wrapped candy. A sprinkled candy was on the opposite side of the board, no help whatsoever. After making one move with the sprinkled, the chocolate started to block me so I had to use a lollipop (free - thankful for that daily wheel!!) to smash the wrapped which brought down the nut. I WAS SO HAPPY!! What a relief!!
I'm proud to say I've made it to CC515 and Dream World 97 and haven't spent any $$$. If I can do it, you can too.

After reading posts from people saying that they couldn't pass this level on the PC, but passed it on their phones, I decided to try the opposite tact. I have been playing on my phone and hardly ever get any ingredients through. My fifth life on the PC, I got 6 of the 8 ingredients through! Everything just came together. While I didn't pass, it sure did feel good to do that. I concentrated on the bottom half of the board, keeping the ingredients trapped as long as possible. I waited until I had minimum cakes pieces left, and released the coconut wheel. That cleared more space to make combos. Still haven't gotten the elusive sprinkle/stripe combo but I have gotten wrapped/stripe combos. I plan to try again on the PC tonight. Long story short, don't count your PC out for this level!

The video for level 500 starts with 68 moves. I only have 65 moves on my iPad. Three extra moves might have let me win by now, since the best I have done is 7 of the 8 pieces thru the bottom and number 8 sitting in the column with 3 candies left to clear before it could drop. Ran out of moves with no clear combos in sight. Not willing to pay for anything extra if I do not see a clear win by buying moves or boosters. Also had a game with all bottom blocks removed but no fruit/ nuts dropping to take advantage. Several times have had a speckle ball next to a speckle ball, and combining them did not clear a level from all the blocks. Also I have yellow instead of purple like the video so it was not done on the same game that I have.

I don't understand why I don't see posts talking about Colour bomb + stripe. If you have enough of the color stripe your mixing it's a quick trick to clear candies and jelly. It's not the magic answer but it definitely helps.

Wow, what a nightmare! This is harder than 350 and the beginning of the 400 level...

I tried it for 8 days on my iPhone (while I was abroad) and didn't even come close.
I came back and tried it on my PC and came close 7 out of 10 times. Today I finished it with 16 moves left and a 3 star score (I don't care at all about that, lol).

In my opinion, just try it on PC, otherwise, you will be stuck forever.

Most inmportant issues you have to work on:

Keep the fruit in the 2 outer lanes (rows), if it comes in the 3rd lane (row), quit the game and start again;

Work on the 2 outer lanes whenever you can, clear the blocks asap;

Work on the middle row and clear it asap;

Two wrapped candies work etremely well if you have them in the lowest rows (I like them better as a wrapped/stripe);

Make absolutely sure you have 3 times having the board working on the 3 down rows:
1]. Pizza 1
2]. Pizza 2
3]. the "roller" in the middle lane.
So you have full profit to clear the lowest rows which will take 4 ever to clean.

Good luck from the Netherlands, this is a really hard one to finish!

I hate to complain but this level has stopped being fun! I've been stuck here for two weeks. Every other level that I was stuck on, I played constantly. I have to say that this level just isn't one that I want to play over and over! I play under 10 times a day. Sadly, it will probably take me forever to pass it. The board does not have enough starting space for me to want to use a booster. I never get close enough to use the lollipop hammer at the end either. Only twice have I gotten 6 of the 8 ingredients through and there was only one other visible on the board. How do you get the 8th? I try to set up vertical stripes but that is difficult as well. By the time I have some decent combos, I run out of moves. This site is one of the longest blogs I've ever seen so I know I'm not alone. The only things that give me comfort are the fact that I seem to be clearing the board better as time goes on and I've made it through 499 other levels!

Anonymous said...

Funny how I passed this level after complaining on February 12th! For those of you still stuck, these are my tips:
1. Work on freeing candies from the licorice cages first. It helps if you start with a board that has immediate move to do that. This will keep your moves centered so the ingredients stay put.
2. Clear the licorice swirls and the bombs to create a clear path for the coconut wheel.
3. Try to get a vertical stripe to free the wheel and make moves to get one of the cakes down to two pieces left.
4. Release the wheel, hopefully exploding only one cake.
5. Clear as much of the merangue as you can near the bottom of the side where the cake is gone.
6. Work on exploding the other cake.
7. Concentrate on clearing as much the merangue near the bottom of the other side. Wrapped striped combos near the bottom will help.
8. Once the ingredients start falling, concentrate on vertical stripes or wrapped/stripe combos to get them through. Try to work one side of the board at a time.
9. Be mindful of bombs and chocolate!
10. Once all the ingredients are through one side, work on the other side.

I learned that it is crucial to get vertical stripes in the lane where the ingredients are. My final two did not appear until I used a vertical stripe. One ingredient went all the way through and the final ingredient appeared at the top. I worked on making another vertical stripe and it went through. I had two lollipop hammers, just in case, but didn't need them. I finished with one star! I will also say that I played on my PC last night and it had moved me to level 501! I just had to pass this level though so I did it on my phone this morning. I hope these tips help all who are hopelessly stuck!

This level sucks... too hard, frustrating. Only chance.. no skill... I have to un install this game now hmmm

There are many of us that don't have face book or care to have it.

It seems to me that the people that have FB ca get all kind of perks that are only using our iphones don't have.

Doesn't seem fair I can't get extra moves from friends and numerouse other things that I read about.

I am not interested in FB and all the drama involved in it.

Also very tires of level 500. Makes me wonder after reading all the comments if I will be able to get passed this level.

Furthermore please fix this website on the iphone. None of my friends and I can use this site on the iphone any longer.

We are un able to pinch the screen and find the game level numbers to the far right to read the coments or leave a comment.

We must continue to use the PC to read and post comments. I prefer to just use the phone not keep swithing from device to another.

So again I ask borrow a iphone and go to this website and then you will see what needs to be fixed.

You state that this site is read daily. Well that is BS as I have been asking for over 2 weeks for someone to fix this site on the iphone.

Thank you

This is no fun, why should it be easier on PC than phone/tablet app... Some of us don't have PC's... Make this the same throughout. Not getting any where near finishing it.

I guess this is the end of the line for me since I have played msny, many times & rarely get one fruit down. Just do not have the patience. The only friend of mine that was ahead of me is stuck here, too. Too hard, not fun.

Have used 230 lives and still stuck. I've used all the tricks on the page to no avail. I'll never give up, but it is the worse level by far. I get so doggone close, too.

I really must be a masochist! As I sit waiting for them to add levels to my Android phone, I keep trying to better my score on this level. Haven't passed it again yet! Not sure why I am even bothering. Everything I'm reading says that mobile devices go up to level 515 so WTH!!!!! I'm also waiting on levels in Dreamland. I wish King to add levels to all systems at once!

To everyone who is hating this level and ready to quit, HANG IN THERE! Once you get past this, the next levels and so much easier! I'm at level 510 and I've actually enjoyed playing the new episode. When you feel like giving up remember that you made it through 499 other levels to get here! Happy crushing!

lorraine said...

I have been on level 500 for about 2 months now and I am over it, it's bloody impossible, and not helped by it crashing, will try few more times, but if no luck giving up enough is enough, makes for a boring game.

Anonymous said...

Level 500 keeps crashing and cant play it properly. They need to fix this. I can get 6 ingredients down and with 20 moves left the other ingredients don't come down.

Anonymous said...

For the first 499 levels I did every single one of them on my phone. I never thought to do it on my computer. I had been on 500 for a few days and I was getting pretty hopeless. I randomly tried it on my computer and i was given tons of boosters, I used all 3 boosters you could use for the level. Finished the level with 17 moves to spare. If anyone else has never played on their computer, they should try it because it really helped me out and i got tons of boosters.

Anonymous said...

I just did the most recent update on my N7 tablet and all the boosters I was saving disappeared. Anyone else have this problem and is there any way of getting them back?

Anonymous said...

I've been stuck for a week now. It really sucks, but I'm still enjoying it. The closest I've got was getting 2 fruits left. It's like a boss level (until they update to include 30 more levels). I'll give CC another 2 or 3 weeks, then, I'll quit. Yeah, right.

Anonymous said...

Was stuck on this for weeks but finally done it. You have to stop the fruit from falling. It seems on this level even if you are tempted to make a combo... If it opens up the fruit... Don't do it ! Work on the sides and bottom.

Anonymous said...

This is a very hard level, but what do you expect this far along, c'mon people. I agree that keeping the fruit from piling up at the exits works against you, hard not to let them though. Got down to 2 fruits left at my best so far, but only had about 20 attempts so far. I will keep trying, hopefully soon. :) good luck to everyone

Anonymous said...

Why don't the last 2 ingredients seem to show up after 4 or 5 are down? Anyone know or have that problem?

Anonymous said...

Rediculously hard level. The fruit landing on the blocks at the bottom is a real pain. Got down to having only 1 left, once after about 100 tries. Still waiting for a better board. :)

Anonymous said...

Been stuck for over 3 months now and used 100's of lives and got as far as 6 fruit/nuts down with at least 15 moves left and the last 2 fruit didn't come down at all. So bored now and quitting this game.

Anonymous said...

Well I have come really close. This is what works: concentrate on bottom. Try not to let fruit drop. Concentrate on area to the side of pies. Do this before you break the pies (as much as you can) color bomb matched with stripe is not always a good move - it can actually be a bad move ( drops all the fruit but does not clear crucial blocks) summary: bottom and bottom sides before all else.

Anonymous said...

I've been on this level for two months and have only seen all eight fruit pieces only twice. Followed all the tricks, clearing licorice, cakes and bottom out, but doesn't do a damn lick of good if you don't get the right pieces to drop.

Anonymous said...

I also have over 150 attempts at this level, almost always clearing both cakes each time, sometimes with over 40 moves to go and only once have seen all 8 fruits on the screen. And that one time I actually had 7 done already. So close yet so far. Ho hum. Would be nice to get past this one soon.

Anonymous said...

The only way to make the other two ingredients drop, as far as I could see, was to shoot a vertical stripe up the row where the previous candy fell from. One will come down and fall through and the other will appear at the top. After playing this level 100's of times, that was the only way I was able to pass it.

Anonymous said...

After 3 days of trying and reading all the comments about the difficulty of this level, I had reached a point where I had 2 ingredients left and one chocolate standing in the way. So I gave in and for the first time ever I purchased 5 extra moves and passed the level. Yes, I feel a little guilty, but I think I saved myself countless hours of frustration.

Finally joined the 500 club! Last shot, a stripe/wrap combo cleared the last of the ingredients on the board & the final cherry dropped straight through the empty column!
No boosters used & 3 stars. It was about my 100th shot.

Approaching 300 attempts at this level, and not getting anywhere close. This level is insanely hard! Don't like to complain, but wow, I didn't expect this level of difficulty, even at this level. Guess I will keep trying for a while longer.

ARGHHHHH! I REALLY think this will be my last level! It's not looking good for me at all!!!! Sigh!

Well...I guess I might be done with CC. Made it this far, but I can't even get ANY fruits down and out. I cannot pay for the privilege of winning a game. So..while it may take me a day or two to "break my addiction"..the game is SO boring now that I think I'll be able to give CC up for good. Best of luck to the rest of ya...and thanks CC..it sure was a blast up to now.

Erica Jones said...

i've tried this level several hundred times, and managed to get 7 items, but I have NEVER even SEEN the 8th... could this be a glitch? I'm fine with it being a difficult level, I am NOT fine that it's unbeatable because of this problem. Even when I have 20 moves left and 7 items out, it never comes down, even with major combos.

Anonymous said...

To Erica Jones comment: I posted this before as well. The only way I found of making the last fruit appear, is to shoot a vertical stripe up the same row where the previous ingredient fell from. That is how I was able to finally pass the level after hundreds of attempts. They really should fix the problem though! I see more frustrated posts than victory posts. Challenging is one thing, impossible just puts people off of Candy Crush. I will say that 501 through 529 are a nice break. 530 is pretty tough as well. Best of luck!

LJM said...

I was surprised at how easy this level was. Beat it on the 2nd try. I avoided the cakes, and worked at the bottom of one side of the board. Trying to make certain I didn't open the top of the other side, until it couldn't be avoided.

LJM. 2nd try lol. Hope you play the lottery!

Almost 500 tries and finally got this level done. Mostly luck I guess and had to use a lollipop from the bonus wheel to finish(cheating). Anyway glad that's over. Hardest level by far in my opinion. Good luck everyone! :)

If the number of comments is directly proportional to the difficulty of the level then 500 must be the hardest.
I passed it fairly quickly on my own phone but on my wifes phone it took 100's of attempts, its just down to luck . But I would say that if you havn't cleared the 2 cakes in the 1st 20 moves you may as well quit and start again

Anonymous said...

I have been on this level for 3 months. No other level took me over a week. I saved up a lot of free hammers and other boosters waiting for my chance to get close and use them. A few times I got within 1 move of winning and almost bought a hammer but just couldn't make myself spend any money. finally today all good things aligned and I used 1 hammer at the end to beat the level with three stars and no Moves left.

Anonymous said...

Been stuck for 2 weeks on this one. had to have played it 100 times at least. closest i've gotten was 6/8, but wouldn't have mattered, because so far i have never had all 8 ingredients drop by the time 65 (or 68 with extra moves) moves are up. GG candy crush you win

lorraine said...

Am very pissed off passed this level after nearly 4 months but won't move on to next level, have to start all over again, makes for a very boring and unfair game, thinking of deleting the game, come on King get your games sorted, will try few more times then will give up, not going to try for another 4 months :(

I passed it in less than one week. Use this: Coconut wheel booster. It helped me a lot.

Anonymous said...

This level has just made me completely tired of candy crush. I think that anyone who has got to level 500 has a good sense of game play and is dedicated. I persisted over the hard 400 levels because I wanted to beat the game, but this 500 has made me lose interest. I don't even understand the developers reasons as I would never spend money on boosters that will not help me beat the level anyway. So it seems I have lost interest to pick up my phone and play the game until I get a lucky board like the video above. best luck to all who stay.

What a stupid game. After trying forever on my phone I finally decided to connect to facebook and try on the PC - finished it on the 3rd try with 2 stars... makes no sense why it is easier there. But now it doesn't show up as passed on my phone.... so I can't continue playing it there... frustrating.

Oh dear another stupid level - don't mind being tested but unfortunately this level is rather bizarre and very boring. Was hoping to get to the end but really cannot see my attention holding. Thanks to every one for hints and tips so fa - sorry I cannot help with any of my own as this is the first level I really do not have a clue on. Good luck to everyone who chooses to continue.

hundreds of tries. I have not been close. The tips are all different and Ive tried them all. I am close to looking for another game. Hate to be a quitter, but this has quit being fun :(

Anonymous said...

I played this level hundreds and hundreds of times before beating it. I ended up beating it with ten moves to spare. I wish I had some good tips to share beyond don't get too discouraged or lose hope and keep playing. I was able to get rid of the pies quickly. From there I created chocolate balls and collided them with striped candies. I did this many time. I would say at least 5+ times. Everything just seemed to fall into place when I run. It wasn't really a struggle like all the other times that I played this round!

Anonymous said...

wow after reading all the comments i thought this would take forever, made it in about 20 tries! all the comments helped though. you really need to focus on having the bottom cleared so the fruit can fall through! the last one does come down but very late so concentrate on making vertical stripes and chocolate bombs! good luck!

Sylvia said...

I have tried all of the tips, cheats, advice and still on 500 for well over a month. Think my CC days are about over. I have enjoyed the game until this level and sure hate to end the challenge, but it seems silly to keep playing and not get off.

Anonymous said...

I dont even get mad anymore. having determined that king will decide when we pass levels or not. have not paid for a thing, and will not even if i have one more move and it would win.
here is what i found out after 499 of these levels. if you get great moves at the start of a game, you wont get crap towards the end, if you have crap at the start, then all the sudden the last 5 moves you will get all kinds of combos, and come just close enough to where if you had 5 more moves, you would win. ( i truly think this is done on purpose)
i think the algorithm in this game is set up that way. how many times do you have a wrap or a chocolate speckled waiting, trying to set up a move, then all the sudden 4 of the same color come down.. and the stripe takes out your bomb? and the chances of getting better moves with the board cleared should be higher, but it seems that on these harder levels, you have NOTHING.

and on this level, yes i try not to break the upper blocks to keep the fruit from coming down, but guess what? the only move i can make ends up breaking those blocks. and its really fishy that when the bombs come down at the start, with less candy, they are really easy to get rid of, but later in the level, with more (statistically) chances to make combos, its hard as heck to get rid of the bombs!! ive had sooooooo many weird things happen. king may say that its not programmed that way, but im starting to think it is. i would love some programmer to decode this game and figure out if its set up that way.
one weird level i had. it was the one with 70 some stripes you had to get, i was stuck on it for a long long long time. then one weekend i didnt even log in on my phone to get the bonus roll.. then on monday decided to try it again.. and first try got it. maybe they knew i didnt play all weekend and if i didnt pass may not play at all.... coincidence? i dont think so.

How the hell can this be done!!! I've tried countless times and don't even get any fruits down most of the time! All the fruit usually gather at the bottom and block the exits and I can't seem to get many stripes etc. I like a challenge but not when it seems impossible!! Oh well must have another life by now time to plod on lol !

Whoa...managed to pass this one on my first try and I have no idea how.

Anonymous said...

I've played this level 69 times so far, and have gotten close (relatively speaking) just twice. Each time, the game seemed to conspire to prevent me from winning, or even coming close enough to consider buying extra moves (so King is denied my money). In fact, I'm convinced that this level was designed to be unwinnable and those that do get it have had extraordinary amounts of luck. Consider:
1. the coconut wheel is completely useless. At best, it erases one cake slice, and more often then not, it ends up doing nothing against by rolling over licorice.
2. not once when setting off a sparkly/stripe combo has the resulting detonations taken out a cake; in a number of occasions, they don't even take a slice.
3. once the cakes are broken, it becomes impossible to get a vertical stripe. In one try, I got both cakes broken with 50 moves to go, and it was not until 20 or so moves left that I finally got a useful one. This is common, once the cakes are gone, vertical-firing stripes become very rare.
4. the chocolate conspires against the player. Once, I had a horizontal blue-firing stripe sitting at the very bottom of the central column, a blue above it and with about eight moves to go, bot a blue in position to meld the three. This would clear the last layer of blocking cream and allow the second through sixth ingredients to fall--but chocolate ate that last blue. It took five more moves to get another blue in position to set off the stripe and drop the ingredients, but I ran out of moves. Had that chocolate not struck, I might have gotten one more ingredient down, and then perhaps buy those five extra moves. King didn't want my money. The chocolate consistently ruins any moves I set off around it.
5. wrapped/striped combos do not take out bombs with one or two ticks left on them.
The tips have not been too useful. It is hard to work on one side of the board when there are no moves, but more on the other side. It is also hard to keep the ingredients contained because the cascades of falling candies erodes them. The ingredients then clog up the bottom of their columns meaning vertical-firing stripes are the only way to try to drop them (see point three above). Any attempt to get a wrapped/striped combo in the lower part of the board is always destroyed by chocolate.
Anybody who got this level without boosters must have had an extremely lucky board. I have not seen one of those yet. Eighty to eighty-five percent of the time, I do not drop a single ingredient, and in tries not ended by bombs going off, I bail out with ten to twenty moves left three quarters of the time because playing on is a waste of time.

Anonymous said...

Okay, I finally got this nasty level, but it cost me. I watched the video and changed the strategy. On the try that I finally won this level, the coconut wheel was useless and the striped/sparkly combo could not clear a cake and of course, once the cakes were clear I was not getting striped candies where I could use them, and of course, the chocolate was going after anything good I was setting up. So what did I do? I went for wrapped candies. A wrapped/wrapped combo took out the second cake, and a wrapped/striped combo at the bottom helped clear a lot of the blocking cream, keeping one layer in most locations. Then, late in the game, I got a sparkly, and set it off against a colour, clearing it and getting another sparkly, so I set that off against a different colour. That allowed me to set up a wrapped/wrapped combo in the lower left, positioned so that the chocolate would need two moves to get it. I didn't give it two moves, but set it off, blowing off a lot of cream and dropping ingredients. However, when I ran out of moves, the second-last ingredient was sitting atop the last bit of blocking cream, which could be taken out with a simple three-candy meld. I splurged and bought the extra moves. The first one dropped that cherry. The last cherry appeared, but could I drop it in time? I got another wrap, got it between two more of the same colour, and that cleared almost all of the column the last cherry was in. With one move left, one candy blocked the cherry from the ingredient, so I used a lollipop hammer I won from the bonus wheel to clear it. Finally, I got through this level. The point of this long narrative? Wrapped candies are your friends on this level.

Only started this level 24 hours ago and so far only managed to collect a cherry lol , when I came here for helps and tips I was gutted at the amount of comments mostly saying how frustrating the level is , I agree ! But I will continue playing because I think to reach level 500 is an achievement , only hope this is not a 3 weeker ,by that I mean being stuck for 3 weeks .

nearing the end of day 2 on this level and haven't even came close , my game froze and I had to quit the level ,I lost all my lifes , im gutted ,no matter how many candy bombs stripes ,combinations I get its never enough ,can't see where the win will come from ?

I think is sad to see so many people giving up candy crush especially after reaching this level but can understand why ,it's not the hardest level to date but the most boring ,no matter how many boosters you use it never clears the board . The only people who seem to clear are those who *BUY *EXTRA boosters but we are not all fortunate to be able to afford this luxury and rely on good honest game playing , so many comments from fellow candy crushers and the vast majority complaining ,I've now been on this level for nearly two weeks and can honestly say I haven't even come close ,don't know what else to do .

Well I finally gave in and bought 5 extra lives and some hammers. I had cleared the cakes and all the blockers on the right side with almost 40 moves left but the fruit would only appear on the left.
I cleared the left with 20 moves remaining and the 2 last fruit just did not appear until only 2 moves left so I gave in and bought.
In the end 6 fruit came down the left and only 2 on the right.
I am sure the level is designed to make you purchase. This is only the 2nd time I have had to do this.
I guess it is not much money for all the hours of "fun" candy crush has given me, they have to earn a living but I feel a little cheated.

I just got to 500, and the demo board and instructions are not what I have. I am on android and the bottom row has five hit frosting and the next row up has four. Remainder are three. Doesn't look promising.

Been stuck for months. Can't seem to pass this level. Gave up and came back and still can't pass it. Help!

OMG just passed it after 3 weeks and hundreds of tries, The only suggestion I can give is to work the bottom sides first and try not to release the fruit too soon. I did have a free lollipop I had to use to get the last ingredient down. SO GLAD that is OVER!!!

I started last night and thought I would be here forever after reading the comments here. Went on the PC today and beat it first try using a lollipop for the last fruit!! Try it on the PC!

Kinda hard to bring down all the ingredients WHEN THEY WON'T EVEN DROP DOWN! WTH? I had 1 hazelnut left with 4 moves. It didn't appear until I had 2 moves. What do you know, it dropped into the far right column where I had no chance of bringing it down. Had it fallen in the column next to it, I had a vertical stripe that would have allowed me to finally pass this level. What do you have to do to get the ingredients to even appear???? Very annoying level!

Got lucky after 3 months and many tips from this site. First.. Don't waste the coconut wheel you need 5 proper candies above it to make best use. Also try not to clear both patty tins in the same move, if you do the separately you get two sugar shaker bombs which clear a level off each square, if you clear them both on the same move you only get one. Concentrate on one side, they seem to all fall together. The last fruit will not appear till you've got rid if all the others. Try to avoid your fruit falling into a column over a dead space as it's hard to get them out again to drop through.. Lastly, save all your daily bonus lollipop hammers till you have reached a game where you've nearly made it, one or two hammers can make all the difference. Don't waste them in early moves of any game.
I have spent no money on extras, just the daily bonus.

And also, try to leave the top levels blocked while you clear the bottom, it's 'much harder once the fruit has started to fall. Then take stripe+wrap combos whenever possible, but they are no use if they don't affect the edge columns. Also, this is a minor one, if you can leave a liquorice high up in the middle for a bit, it stops rubbish falling down which would make it harder to clear the patty tins or set off the coconut wheel

Hurayyyyy...!!! I did it 3rd Attempt with the support of COCONUT WHEEL at the time of starting... Not much difficult..

jusss select coconut wheel booster at level start.. next try to clear the bottom four blocks (besides chocolate factory) as early as possible... that's it..!!

Tricky level but nowhere near as difficult as some others. Chocolate is a nuisance. Had to use a free daily spin hand on my last turn. Took me 20 games or so to get it out. Glad to pass the 500 mark.

I don't understand! I have only 60 moves in this level! How can you have 65?!

To everyone who is only still playing just to reach the end and be finished: STOP NOW.

500 is a nice round number to call it quits. There is no end and the levels only become more infuriating as you go on. The higher levels are designed to prevent you from progressing faster than the new chapters are added, so you can never reach the end anyway. Even boosters are no help because they just get wasted on nearly impossible board layouts.

By the time you get to the 700s you will wish you had taken my advice; those levels are all basically unplayable, each requiring DOZENS of lives to get through.

If I can keep even ONE person from making the mistake of thinking the end is achievable, then my sacrifice will have been worth it. *Gunshot.*

Annoying to say theleast. Just about to drop my last fruit at the bottom by a combo above which should have cleared down that line. It cleared all but the last 3 candies leaving the fruit sitting there. Can a machine cheat????

Wahoo! Did it!
I got it on 3rd attempt after deciding to use one of my coconuts. After that it was plain sailing. But I had to keep an eye on the bombs and I was finally left with one fruit and 5 moves left. I didn't want to take any chances so I just used a hammer to finish the game. Got 2 stars so not bothered. As soon as you know which side the fruit is falling concentrate on that side, although I am aware the fruit can fall either side or both, so just keep an eye on your moves. I also found that if you match a coconut wheel with a wrapper horizontally it will change to all wrappers. I also got a sparkly with a stripe, so that moved the game along and quickly moved some of the fruits too.
Now I'm at the next level I'm not aiming for higher levels I'm just glad I've reached this far. I will probably just play occasionally at random.
Good luck.

The level used to be harder with 6 move bombs and extra layers of icing at the bottom with 65 moves. The nerfed version is still very hard but more doable. The original version took me 2 weeks solid!
