Tips for level 655 Candy Crush Saga
This is a challenging level!
Right from the start you need to be looking for your stripes and wraps to make your combos.
Don't leave the bombs too long, the countdown isn't very long and they soon get to zero if you neglect them.
If you get the wrap combo first try not to make more wraps as they are likely to blow up and spoil any stripes you are setting up.
It's just a question of careful planning to get the stripe combos.
If you have a choice of two stripes make the top one first so as not to spoil the other, then make the bottom one and with luck they will fall side by side.

On...level 656...so ready to quit candy crush...no fun anymore...also too slow updating iPad and android devices...becoming seriously pointless...games should be fun, not frustrating...
Also on this level 2 days and REALLY REALLY frustrated with it ....can get one or two combos if I'm lucky to get bombs first....not liking !!!
Not sure even any kind of lucky board is going to help. And no boosters are going to do the trick. Max I have managed over two days is to only have two left to get and since then lucky to get two combos. Absolutely no fun as it doesn't require fun reasonable strategy. You get a combo close and something causes it to blow. I keep thinking I will just stop playing and this level may do the trick.
Not fun when you make boards next to impossible!! Give us a bit of a break will you? A challenge is okay--but next to impossible!! Come on now!
I agree...this level may end it for me. Its not fun as there is no strategy to play. I have come close a few times only to have the board blow up due to drops. Ugh. Another few days and thats it for me and Candy Crush
2 days...hate this level...
I love this level, the 20 previous levels were far too easy.
Im also finding it glitchy, I think some stripes have disappeared, and were not activated. Hard and major frustration, but agree that others are way too easy. I leave the hard candy stripe combo for after stripe stripes. they seem harder.
I was excited to see new levels finally. Then I came to 655. No fun at all. I can't even imagine what a good board would look like. I like the frogs. Was hoping for some of them. This one may do me in.
This level is hard enough as it is with all the unusable space in the middle, but it's riddled with bugs. It's hard enough to make a wrap and/or a stripe, but when you makes moves and PLAN on a stipe being created where the candies cross, it sucks to have the game developers place it at the end of the line of the four candies. This isn't the only level that works like that. It's as though they do it on purpose. Thank God for Diamond Digger Saga. It's challenging enough sans the frustration this game gives you. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the challenge, but not the frustration. This is supposed to be entertaining. See ya, Candy Crush!
Currently on 656...horrible...ready to quit...
I'm quitting on this level!! It's ridiculous how hard they've made it!! I'm done!!!
Come on people, surely if you've made it this far, you are capable of going further! I am stuck too, but I know I'll get it eventually....just like all the other hard levels you thought you'd never get through. The last few levels have not been challenging enough and if we are at Level 655, we must be halfway good at this game! Keep trying!
This is not a fun level, and cascades are not your friend here because they have an annoying tendency to take out the combos I have set up. In one try, after setting off a sparkly, I had two pairs of adjacent stripes and one wrapped/striped combo adjacent to each other, all placed so that none would hit the other. I set off the striped pair closest to the top, and the cascades that caused set off the others without counting them. That sort of thing happens always on this level. Sparklies seem to form readily, so you can use them to clear a colour and increase the chances of getting a stripe or wrap, but they can also set off nasty and unpredictable cascades. The bombs at the start are horrible; they waste precious moves having to deal with them.
I agree with most of these posts. I've noticed the glitches, too. The bombs in the beginning just waste precious moves and the cascading is so unpredictable. The closest I've got was 2 combos left. I may have to quit Candy Crush until you fix this level.
Make it past 655. 2 days. Okay. 656 is worse :-( Sigh.
I have enjoyed the game so far minus levels 350 and 578. This one after the lame few last ones is killing the fun:(
SO boring this level! Virtually impossible. I still won't buy boosters though. Think I will just quit playing.
When I went to the booster wheel it said to connect to face book. When I did this it took me back to level 1 .
What can I do to get back to 655?
I made it thru using a switch and a hammer to get the final two. Completed with 2 stars.
Agree that this was one of the toughest (if not, the toughest) in the game. It took miracle string of luck. The strategy that worked for me is to not try to set up combos >2 moves ahead. If you don't see a way to a stripe/stripe combo, use one of the stripes to mix up the board as much as possible then look for a way to the combo. The mix up generally gives you a better chance of getting something that will work. For those thinking of quitting, this could be a good time as the frustration will heat up on the next (656) level for sure. You must get 4 package/package combos with a moving assembly line in the middle. This has to be the two hardest back to back in the game.
Boring, frustrating with glitches. But that lucky board will arrive eventually I presume. Many of the last 2 levels have been too easy.
This level is full of bugs just like dream world level 380 was for nearly 2 weeks. I think this is a new strategy for King to bring in more revenue. King needs to be investigated for rigging their games in an attempt to fleece money from their customers and their advertisers.
I don't think a company can be investigated for trying to make money out of their product. Someone has to pay for their developers. You have had hours of fun from their free game. It is just annoying but you will crack it eventually if you don't want to pay
NOT HAPPY !!! 3 days which is really not horrible BUT this level is soooooooooo frustrating, don't know when I will get it.
boards like this are created to drain boosters and tempt you to purchase them. This board is very hard and aggravating.
tried this level over 100 times, closest i've come is 2 striped combos left, keep plugging away but the problem is that it's not even a fun level, it's just boring, 9/10 times ou don't even get anywhere close to having a chance to do it
I passed using a switch two times and a hammer to get the final two. Completed with 2 stars.
For those who say that level 656 is harder, I disagreee. 655 is three times more difficult. Level 656 was completed in my second try, no boosters.
Personally I think 655 vs. 656 is a matter of preference on stripes vs. wraps though 655 does have the bomb complication. Key is to look for stripes to take out the bombs.
Things get better or at least there is more of a feel of control in 657.
Like most of you here I have been stuck on this level for a couple of days. And like most of you I found the last couple of levels easy. This level is just as frustrating as some previous levels but I know eventually the winning board will fall. They can't seem to find a happy medium, its either too easy or frustrating because you are relying on luck rather than skills. Getting bored now, may have to look for something else.
Stupid level!! Still won't buy boosters though!
Bye bye Candy Crush - it's been fun. Sorry to say but I will be going to another game from one of your competitors. I know your profits are down and you want to keep your shareholders happy, but I refuse to pay for your boosters on a level you have deliberately designed to take money from your loyal followers.
OMG I'm really disliking this level. On this level for 3 days and not even close.
I manage to beat it with no boosters and 6 moves left, but only after playing many many games. Lucky board, I guess. I had one other time I needed one more move to win but resisted the temptation to buy bars.
This is beyond a doubt the dumbest level in a really long time. I can't imagine what kind of board it would take to pass it. I'd like to see someone from King beat it. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE - NOT JUST HARD - IMPOSSIBLE.
its beatable, fairly luck based tho. no boosters, 2 moves remaining
Awful, awful level. Been stuck for days but since I have come this far, I shall not give up! Experience difficulty when start with stripe and wrap combo, since extensive re-alignment of candies and take longer for stripe combo to materialize...
5 games; first 2 couldn't get rid of the bombs...next 2 couldn't even get one combo due to the constant cascades blowing everything up and last game got one combo. LOL Beyond frustrating.
After posting on here yesterday morning about being stuck on this level for a couple of days, I finally got through it just a wee while later, without boosters. Like I said its just a matter of waiting for the lucky board to fall. Now about to do level 660 so the next levels are not so hard. Good luck to anyone still stuck on 655.
Yep, glitches for sure! Not getting some stripes when I make them. Yes a very frustrating level. I have yet to have a board as in the video. Guess I will just have wait on my lucky board.
Already stuck on level 655 for 6 days 3 times seen i've only had to do 1 combi when i had 1 move left. Normaly when you get stuck, Kings software sees that you are stuck for a while and then it will make it easier for you with lots of choclate stars. But that doesn't even work. This is an impossible level to play unless King lets the candy drop with stripes and blocks so you have the possibility to make the combo. I am gonna give it 2 more days and then i will delete it from my phone and ban it on facebook.
I did it after 3 days. Got to within one combo a couple of times and then finally did it with 1 move to go. Did 656 and 657 in 4 games each. 658 is hard if you don't get a good start. Think you need to set off strips with candy bombs at least twice to stand any chance.
I think it's relatively smooth sailing until 664. Another "fun" one ....
Oh - this brings back memories of all those poorly designed levels in the 400's. This is total luck and just plain sucks. No fun at all. Back to dealing with the stupid owl...
Going by the comments it sounds like this group of 15 is the worst level since the soda swamp!
Been trying for days. Down to last two combos, I used one hammer to arrange one combo and a switch for another. 1 move left and 2 stars. Good luck all.
I have been trying for days. the closest i got was needing 1 set of striepes to do before i ran out of moves... my only strategy is to make as many stripes as possible in the top half and when you get two strips, try to make a match at the both for them to fall down, like he said hopefully next to each other, if you get a freckle use it straight away on a colour that has no stripes. u will usually get a wrapper by accident at some point, try to let it drop down next to a stripe and make the swaps as soon as you can.
No, it is NOT "just a matter of careful planning," it is a matter of careful planning and a lot of luck, to say nothing of a booster or two. Enough with the condescending remarks already.
There have been levels I've really disliked before but this one takes the prize. I object to all the glitches. There have been several times when I've wanted to use a stripe and nothing happens. I've also watched really, really careful and my carefully crafted stripes or wraps randomly blow us. If the glitches were gone, I think I could deal with this better, but as many have said, time to take a break.
I've been here since this level opened. I am not a shabby player if I have gotten this far. I have to giggle when I DO get an order. 3 people on my friends list have completed this level. I can't help but think they paid to get through it. Sorry Candy Crush, you will never see a penny out of me.
You can't really pay to get through this one, when you have to get that many specific combos, as you can't pay for a combo to appear. It really is a matter of skill (and luck to some degree yes) but you do need the skill to get your matches lined up without them cascading (and that DOESN'T happen randomly no matter what some people seem to think). The switch is the only thing that helps in terms of boosters. Given that we are getting a free booster every day (which we never used to) I think that's actually pretty damn good, so noone should be paying anything. So I disagree about the money grab thing. If you are patient and smart, you don't have to pay a cent. You will get this one eventually, trust me.
stuck with this level for ages,another shit level, grrrrrr
Been at this for at least a week or more
Done with this whole section. No paid boosters. It can be done in less than a week. I am not a master of this by any means (nor do I work for King!!!!!). So don't give up hope.
Well, this is a challenging level, you can say that. I tried for about 3 days and than finally got it. Had to use a lolly hammer (you can use them in this level!) to get the last 2 stripes in the last move together.
No need for me to go for the 3 stars: I'm happy with the 2 stars and will not play this level ever again! (mmm, may be on my daughters account when she quits).
Good luck from the Netherlands!
Keep on rockin'
It is possible. You just have to get lucky. Finished it with 5 moves left. But it did take me two days. Don't give up!
I agree this is not fun, the other levels have been pretty fun, but I this one is not, I don't mind being stuck for a few days with a fun challenge but this is not it! please adjust the level King,3 or 4 days now on it and just annoying!
One of the most frustrating levels. Fun-O-Meter shouldn't be "boring" and "wohoo" it should be "fun" and "frustrating".
Another joke of a level. Challenging is one thing, next to impossible is another. I will NOT pay to play this game so I will have to wait for my lucky board where everything falls into place. I do try to get rid of the bombs first - working from top to bottom. They are simply a waste of moves. I have also found that stripes don't appear when you think they will. You can see where one should form at the end of a cascade and it just doesn't. Annoying. Sorry your profits are down, King, but I will not pay to play. This may be my last level - it just doesn't even give you a chance. :(
This level is AWFUL. It is so boring. It is ridiculously difficult. Boosters don't help at all. I hate this level with a passion.
Been on for at least 2 weeks. BORED BORED BORED
Ditto - what a crap level. I'm giving this game a long rest to see if they tweak this level to make it playable. I've tried at least 100 times and the closest I got is within 2 matches - with 3 extra moves AND the paint stripe charm!
At last got through this level. Had to use a switch and a hammer for the last combo though. Got two stars. This is just luck based. Will advise all who are ready to quit, DON'T. You will get a lucky board sooner then later.
All the best.
Thats it for me I cannot see how this level gets done without a lot of luck so I am OUT!!!
Have been on this level several days with no luck. Dumb level---almost impossible. Will NOT pay for boosters though King! I'll quit first! (not that you care!)
5 days and I am still here! I think King ought to count those combos that fall next to each other and blow up all by themselves as a match!
If you do not do something about this stage, I will delete the Candy Crush App! I have purchased boosters for many stages, but since AT&T no longer supports Candy Crush purchases (or what it says anyway), I was planning to buy more through credit card. Well, it turns out after over a week of this stage has frustrated me and some of my friends so much that we are going delete Candy Crush unless this stage is changed. Do it. Do it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can't beat this ....i've tried for 2 weeks ....help
It looks like King has set up a few "speed bumps" to slow people down because they have run out of good ideas. More levels like this just prove that the game has run its course... Guess we just wait a few weeks for them to make this level more playable and then move on from there...
I was stuck for a few days, but got through this level with no boosters or additional moves. It's pure luck and patience!
this level is a bullshit, Im stuck here for ages...
I'm still waiting for my lucky board. The most recent time I tried this level, I used up five lives and on four, could not clear the bombs in time. So far, in over seventy attempts, I got down to needing just one stripe/stripe combo. Too many stripes and wraps just blow up, as if the game is rigged to drop two of the same colour on top of a special candy at the top of the board. It's frustrating to see four candies of the same kind fall together in a row--and nothing happens, they just disappear. Most tries are so hopeless that buying boosters would be pointless. They need to get rid of the bombs so we don't have to waste the first nine moves or get rid of the holes. This one is probably going to set the new record for most tries to get a level (currently, 118 tries on level 530).
Finally! I started with 3 extra moves (this is the only time that I ever used the 3 extra moves that it actually helped me). Down to needing 1 combo, 2 moves left, one stripe on the left and one on the right. I used a hand for a switch and was able to make the final combo. Phew!
Don't waste moves trying to get rid of the bombs - I was able to clear them by chance while forming my stripe combos
Was ready to quit playing SC but I finally got through this level today. Got rid of those pesky bombs first, with 29 moves left. Plan and don't waste no moves unless it's to bring two stripes together. With a lot of luck, you'll be very relieved to have past this extremely hard level!
After thinking I had the game finally won and I bought more moves.....I ended up playing this game for 2 hours without even coming closed. That's it I'm taking a break from level 655 for the weekend!
I've been on this level for approx. 2 weeks now. I'm no closer than when I started. I'm ready to quit Candy Crush. I keep thinking that b/c Candy Crush profits are down, you've made it so hard that we are compelled to purchase extra moves to complete this level. Not fair!!
STILL trying! STILL frustrating!

Thank you CC for giving me a lucky board!
This is a crap level. Most are good, but this is yet another one where skill doesn't come into play. Only luck clears this. If there's any place to apply skill, it is when and how to apply boosters. I love challenging levels that require skill. LOVE them. But this is a horribly lame level.
Skill not a factor whatsoever.
Not enjoying this level at all. Boosters are not helpful and there simply is not enough opportunity to plan moves. I am not particularly fond of games where luck is the only factor. The holes in the board make it impossible to put combos together. The glitches destroy any planned opportunities you can create. I suppose eventually CC will ease up an allow some players to win.
So tired of not even being able to clear the bombs 3 or 4 out of 5 games. Terrible, terrible level.
reached level 655 but I am about to quit playing this game. It is impossible to finish and it all depends on luck. I am not ready to pay for any extra moves or boosters. When you reach up to this level it means that you have a certain amount of skills, however this level depends only on luck
Fed up with this ridiculous level. No skill needed at all just pure luck. Goodbye candy crush, time to find a new game.
Lollipop hammers got me past this one. Was able to to knock out vertically placed candies between striped to make matches. Had a bunch from the wheel. The hand switch boosters would be useful too. Really don't see how to pass this one without help.
Okay - you're got lucky and completed this level. NOW just try to get 3 stars on it! NONE of my friends have done so yet and this is the only level in the last 100 I can't get 3 stars on!
This level has some serious glitches. I had a purple stripe and a red strip separated by 2 blue candies. I moved a 3rd blue down to bring the 2 stripes together and as soon as the 3 blue candies were lined up, which should have taken them out, both stripes went off. I've also noticed wraps sometimes blowing up without any like color near them. This level sucks bad enough as it is, don't need these glitches to make it even harder.
Still stuck. This level is programmed for the candies to fall and either blow everything up or not create the stripe/wrap that it should. Completely unfair. This very well may be the end for me.
This level has been added to the Hardest Level In Reality poll on wiki. It is way worse than 647 and 617 among other tough levels. It is definitely "insanely hard"!!
Again, 4 out of 5 games, couldn't even get past the stupid bombs. This level is insanely stupid, glitchy and boring.
So I've gotten as close as only needing 1 more combo - once. I just used a +3 moves and got rid of the bombs with 34 moves to spare. Guess what? I couldn't make a SINGLE combo the rest of the moves. Gee...I wonder if this level is rigged. Completely ridiculous!!! Bite me, King!
Congratulations to those who have had the patience to pass this horrible level.Been at it for a week and not even close.Thats it for me.Goodbye CC
Same here; I'm done. When I can't even get past the stupid bombs half the time, there's no point in trying anymore.
Between the glitches, the bombs taking away your first 5 to 10 moves, and the holes in the middle of the board. I don't know how much longer I can take it. Usually if you get stuck on a board it seems it gets easier because they give you random combos. I've always wondered if that's in the programming. Anyways I think that's happening but it's screwing me over more than helping me.
Finally got this level, but it took over a hundred tries to get it. When I finally did, I used no extra moves and no boosters. I did get a lucky board, as the process that cleared the bombs produced two pairs of adjacent stripes whose paths would not interfere with each other (hint: fire off the topmost pair first because that reduces the chance of an unfortunate cascade that would take out the second pair). I thought I had a good chance when I had twenty moves left and just two stripe/stripe combos to get. I got one, and then after playing this level so much, I was getting a feel for how the candies were falling around the holes in the board. That allowed me to form a final stripe and move it into position against another with three moves left. Thus, with two moves to go, got this level with two stars. Learning how the candies fall and which columns they go into due to the holes would definitely help.
Been on this level for over a week now. It is not possible, even if it were, it is probably the most boring level yet. It's hard to even play it more than twice because it is so boring!
I won't give up on this level until I've been stuck for weeks on MOBILE. You can tear through more games in one day on unlimited lives mobile than you can in a month on facebook! That is when its finally released on mobile. So far I rate this level "insanely hard"
Yawn. This game is so boring now. So boring I am about to quit and uninstall
Yawn. This game is so boring now. So boring I am about to quit and uninstall
They make it so the stripped candys always just slightly pass each other. you cant move because if you do you lose the candys you are trying to match up.. Been at this level since it was realeased on 21st of august. Its a pathetic level.
I quit - not fun anymore
True
This is the first level i have ever felt like giving up on,not got close in four days, stupid.
Ridiculous level..horrible glitches. I play Candy Crush for FUN. 2 weeks and nothing on this level. Not even close. I guess for the loyal players that have hung in there all this time...they are trying to get rid of us. Maybe it's too hard for the creators to make a challenging yet FUN game anymore. Think I'm about to get rid of CC for good.
This level will end Candy Crush for me. I have been stuck on 655 for over a week and i am not going to drive myself crazy hoping for a miracle board. Games are to entertain and challenge me not frustrate me. So long Candy Crush...
I have practically no friends that actively play CC anymore. It only takes one bad level for someone to say enough is enough. Level 655 is probably that level to me.
Susan don't give up. Just wait until this level is released on mobile. Remember you've said you are stuck on this for a week?? That's because you cant get unlimited lives on facebook! You can plow though the total number of tries you've had so far in less than 2 hours on mobile by moving the clock forward once it is available!! You'll get that miracle board faster then!
Wow, this is the end! I cannot even imagine what a "lucky" board would look like! First, I get to only play 1 out of the 5 games, as the timed candies go off almost every single game! When I do get a playable board, it is impossible to get the stripes to align - and forget about the wrapped candy/stripe combo. I have been down to needing one more combo only twice. Rarely do I even finish a game anymore! I play my 5 twice a day, and find that I forget to even do that! Think this one finally broke my enjoyment of this game. I somehow managed to get past this awful boards of the past - and always hope that the next board would go back to skill rather than waiting for King to feel sorry for me and give me that lucky board. No such luck anymore! The game makers have finally run out of ideas!
The most tedious and boring level. Only completed using three hammers and swap from bonus wheel. Two people I know have finished with Candy make the levels interesting and less difficult.
Boring, and after 3 weeks I have come nowhere near close. I can't even see how paying money would help.
Losing interest now. Sue
This is the end goodbey CC.
Never thought I would say this but I give up, there is no chance of beating this level, I have played this game for over a year and put up with a lot of crap but this level is impossable.
This level is absolutely ridiculous!
Is anyone else experiencing glitches on the PC in this level? I've had it happen more than once where I had a stripe and a wrap separated by a row and when I get rid of the separating candies and the stripe and wrap end up next to each other, they blow up...without any like-colored candies near to make them blow up. This level is hard enough already without stuff going off randomly.
I'm not happy to be stuck here either but the last few levels were pretty easy. I didn't get this far by being a quitter but I'm not wasting a lot of time or money to pass either. I'll play my five or ten lives every day and when the time is right it will happen.
Good comment above. Don't forget that this game is rigged to make money and if it wasm't we would all be stuck somewhere back on level 30 and would have quit a long time ago. Just wait until the next set of levels comes out and the candy god will probably let you pass without opening your precious piggy bank :) Good Day
Beat the level last week with using a couple of boosters and a bit of luck on my side. I'm still having nightmares about it. Easily one of top 5 most difficult Candy Crush levels. And it doesn't get easier after that. :(
This level is designed to fail. If you notice, any time you have a striped candy or wrapped candy, there are numerous candies of the same color all around them to where if you make any move, you'll destroy your stripe or wrap. Terrible level where it's 100% luck.
I have used the quit game button more on this level than any other. If you still need five combos and you only have 6 moves left, not gonna happen. Quit game!
3 out of 5 games, couldn't clear the bombs. LOL Other 2, one combo each.
OMG, 5 games, bombs exploded in each...done like a dinner with this game
I dont think i have the patience to wait for the lucky board. This level is just soooo boring I am noticing i have no more desire to pick up the phone and play... so i guess candy crush has finally beat me. this is a very uninteresting level completely based on luck....
I feel like I've been stuck on this level forever, but it's probably been 1 1/2 weeks. As so many of the levels are lately, it's just luck and I'm just waiting for my turn.
Luck came through! (Posting on this board usually helps (knock on wood.)) Board was just giving me stripes. Had one move left. Had to use a hand to move two candies (thankfully this doesn't count as a move) to get the two stripes next to each other. Finally done! Hate this level.
2 days!!!
655... Jeez 4th try done
3 weeks still stuck, so over this level
This level seems (relatively) easier on facebook than it does on mobile (Android). Seen that one before on CCS, sigh. Level on Android is flawed anyway with special candies going off for no reason, and special candies falling into the void when another special candy is triggered. Frustrating.
Having said that, level 655 on facebook still isn't a breeze. Need lots of luck to get close.
Probably King will eventually make some changes to this level so that more people actually do pass (seen that one before) which in turn causes frustration with those that did pass the level when it was still as though as it is today...
All of the above really takes the fun out of CCS. Dreamworld only adds to the frustration.
Guess it's time to move on.
After checking to see if it was just me struggling with this level I see it's unanimous, so I finally have an excuse to kick my slight addiction! Uninstalling
I too will be quitting this game because of this level. I play this game for myself and 2 other people and out of the 3, 2 are stuck on this level after several weeks. I'm done!
Agree...looks like this is last level so they want to slow us down. Been at it only overnight and its a stinker. Cascades ruin it or u just cant line them up. The wrap.stripe I make easy .. guess just hv to plod on..will get it eventually...caught up to the two above me and one has got it. Good luck all.
Frustrated. This is the worst level, but a couple of people have said 656 is worse. may as well quit now. i want to have fun, and like challenges. But not impossibilities.
Had two goes at this and came here to get some tips as I couldn't work out a strategy ... Seeing that mine was going to be the 140th comment I can see that I am not alone ... I do hate waiting for lucky boards :-(
3 weeks and still here!
But I WILL beat this level eventually.
Ok, now I have watched the board very carefully for the last 25-30 games and the stripes and wraps will often go off for no reason at all (on PC). I just had a board where I had a red stripe in the lower right corner and 2 blue candies fell on it and the stripe went off. This lever is hard enough with the stupid bombs, but to have a buggy level on top of it...thanks, but no thanks. Don't need the aggravation.
3 weeks on this now. The worst level I have ever experienced.
At least it is now on the iPad too so I no longer have to wait until I can be at a pc
Ufff... Finally completed after 3 weeks with a help of 1 switching hand on the last move.
Shamelessly used 4 (or 5?) hammers and one switch to finish with 1 move left. Maybe will come back to try it without boosters when waiting for the next level-- or not.
Not going to swear, but wow, I think think is the hardest board so far. If you've gotten this far, you know how to play. I agree with others, very little skill, just have to get that lucky board. I'm not quitting, but level 655 is not much fun. Maybe King will "adjust" the difficulty eventually. Maybe.
Been playing for a few days and not even come close! Other levels have been really hard but I always felt there was a chance, however slim. I know we talk about a lucky board, but I can't even begin to guess what it might look like!! There is so little room to move, and as soon as you make a stripe or a wrap something comes along and blows it up! I have not spent a penny on CC yet, and don't intend to start now - boosters can't really help on this level anyway. This might be the level that I finally give up my CC addiction - my husband will be pleased at least!! Good luck to those who persevere - I will try for a bit longer, but am beginning to lose interest in this level already - it is just boring now! :(
I did the "duplicate tabs" thing to get 10 games. 7 out of the 10, couldn't get past the bombs, other 3 I got 1 or 2 combos. Absolutely the worst, most boring level yet.
It's so funny. I've seen so many people threaten to quit this game when it gets super tough and annoying as hell. I've never really felt that way...until now. I can honestly say that I thank you, Level 655. I spend waaaaay to much time playing this mother f#@cker. I am so bad at this level, that I must surrender. I'll start cleaning my house again ;) I'll start speaking to my friends again ;) Seriously though, thank you King for the intervention :)
Haha, I love your comment. I've been feeling the same. I know that I will beat this level one day but cc will keep adding levels until there are no players left. I can't play this until I die so now is a good time to quit and do something useful. Knitting me thinks! Laters crushers
I spent a whole week fighting with this level, and then magically I got one where everything almost fell into place on its own! I did have to use two switch boosters to get the stripes next to each other, but I passed it!! Have faith and carry on, you can do it!
Finally I did it! Wow a brutal 2 weeks on this level!
That was "insanely hard" to complete for sure!
Way worse than the original 421. Yeah there were the toffee tornados and cakes but at least there was an open field of play to make combos once the cakes were gone!
I know noone cares from king's side but i quit. i am not stupid, you are stupid, dear king.
You can tell by the number of comments how ridiculous difficult a level is to beat, CC you lost a big fan
Omg cant believe I got this. Took 5 days of trying and have to admit I didnt play it a lot. As it was ridiculously hard.Got left with one remaining twice. 6 moves left. Needed two and matched one quickly against one formed and with that match another stripe fell next to one I had waiting. Lucky as only had one move left. Stinker level and the next I just opened looks worse... although if I can make as many wraps for that as I found kept happening a lot in this level!! Will see. Hang in. Dont give up to early on yr games..6 moves and got it. Dont think I hv ever been this happy to get thru a level. Good luck
Losing interest with this game because they have made it near impossible to beat...fix it K ing or you'll have lots of fans walking!!
another level i am on for 2 weeks now..just makes me not play as often..go thru lives in less than 5 minutes..just boring.. i have made the stripe/wrapped combo and 2 of the stripe/stripe but thats as far as i can get..or the bombs blow before i can get to them and there goes the game..will keep playing but just not interesting any more ..
Been on this level for weeks and ready for giving in. So boring. Haven't paid for anything yet and will not start now - will give in first!
For those of you who have passed this game, well done for persevering. Obviously there is some skill involved but mostly with this particular game it is luck. There is really no control over the bottom half, candies disappear and blow up all over the place. I play a game here and there but like everyone else the fun is no longer there and it's given me my life back, my husband is quite happy that he has some one to watch the television with again and have a conversation over breakfast, so thank you CC for that at least.....
3 weeks I've been stuck here. I've come close twice (needing 1 more combo), but I'm reminded of the old saying "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."
Sick of stripes not forming where they should and candies disappearing out the bottom of the board. WTH? At one point I had 6 stripes on the board at one time and didn't have a way to line them up. Then I moved one candy and all of them disappeared by either blowing up or sliding out the bottom.
This is obviously the end for those of us that won't pay to play this free game. I love a good, challenging board. This is insulting.
I have been stuck on this level for almost 2 month s!!! I'm ready to uninstall it. I make stripes but as I'm going to set them off something sets all strip I have Before I can even make 1 match!! Reading the comments they need to change the board or give everyone alot of free hammer ect....
Same thing happens to me. I've been trying for 2 month!
What a bastard! Been on this for a week. Then - get the lucky board and it's simple as pie.
I got really close had to make one more stripe/stripe combo, just a coloured candy between them. YES I said just hit it with a hammer and I'm home and dry, So using one of my precious hammers and with great relief that I had finally done it I hit, it blew up not only the colour candy between but both my stripes. WHAT........ Jane
So, so tired of this level with all it's flaws and glitches. If only they would fix the stripes and wraps blowing up for no reason then maybe, maybe, it would be doable. I've noticed that when you want cascades, they won't come but get a few stripes on the board and it's cascade city, to blow everything up. And whoever came up with the bombs in the first place should be taken out back and beaten with wet gym socks.
Hahaha. Agree. This level totally sucks.
this level is so annoying been on this level for 2 days and and only come remotely close with 2 stripey combos left, u need more moves :( i can get the bombs pretty much straight away but trying to make the combining 5 stripe combos is starting to annoy the sh*t outta me ... please help with a lucky board please KING! CHEERS KATRINA
LMAO about the wet gym socks!
I've been at this for over a month. A MONTH!!! I come on here to see what the heck I'm doing wrong, and what do I read, the same thing. It's a near possible level to complete without the cheats (boosters). The only booster I have used is the X3 moves. I have one hand left to switch moves and wasted it. THIS is maddening! But I will not give up. I've come this far, I'm not a quitter, but I have become a whiner!!!
Someone asked how to get three stars here. That's easy, I get three stars most of the time. You just have to combine a chocolate ball with a bomb color. I get lots of chocolate balls but barely a combo. Best I got was down to two combos and I've been playing since the update for iPad came out. Strategy doesn't help much if the specials explode before you can match them. Happens all the time. I came so far and there were lots of tricky levels, but I caught me thinking "what am I doing here?" And I'm afraid the answer is "wasting my time".
Gabi
I know it isn't any consolation but the PC version seems better than the Android version. On my Android tablet, it's cascade after cascade and everything blows up or disappears down the void at the bottom. At least on the PC, I've gotten it down to 1 combo left two times...out of 100+ games.
I never thought I would say this but I am officially done with CC day! Even with boosters I have been on this level for almost a month and it's no longer enjoyable. Maybe my luck ran out but Every time I get some strips to use they burst without counting! DONE!! bye bye!! At least for a while until I get some patience back!
Up until level 655 i have completed every board within a day or two. I have been on this one 3wks and havent even got close. There is something seriosly wrong with this level
Have run out of hammers and handswitches ... Gonna uninstall and reinstall on my ipad to earn some back (just complete a few lower levels to earn them before re-linking with FB ... You keep the boosters but not the gold bars unfortunately) and have a couple more attempts but then I am giving up the whole thing ... Stuck on Dreamworld too so now seems the time to go
HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT, VIRTUALLY INPOSSIBLE
I finished this level with boosters. Got, hahaha, lucky board and had pkg/stripe combo done and 3/5 stripe combos, with 2 stripes sitting beside each other when game finished. Bought 5 extra moves and had 2 stripes again beside each other at end of that, so had to buy 5 more. Oh well, got past stupid level. Had only ever got 3 combos on any other game.
Been on this level 2 + weeks.Can officially say I HATE THIS LEVEL. I hate to leave after getting this far but this just is beyond stupid.
I agree with others been on this since it was created! Its not fun anymore do t even care to play anymore. Thanks for the fun up to this point not doing it anymore. I spent a lot of money but there's not enough to buy this one off. Bye bye king and cc
I agree, this is frustrating and not fun at all! I find myself playing other games before I even attempt to play this level! One would think that by now they'd know we are more willing to pay for extra moves if we can at least get close to the goal....but we're not even close! Why would I pay? How dumb can they be...??!! This will be their demise...no wonder they've stopped raking in the big bucks!
Argh!!!!!! I was down to 1 combo left...2nd row from the top row, had a red stripe, and an orange stripe formed right above it, with a blue candy on one side and a purple one on the other side and the orange one blew up for no reason, which took out the stripe right below it too. Darn near impossible is one thing but adding bugs to the game is just too much. I'm done until they fix the bugs that cause wraps and stripes to blow up for no reason.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
I have never had that many stripes combine together like the first video. Also think there is s glitch with making stripes when you knock out the odd color in the middle. Isn't working for me at all. Not fun anymore.
Im done
Great comments and strategies I hadn't thought of, also don't forget to roll the board so that the bombs will take minimal moved to crush!
Omg I finally beat this horrible level. My only advice is save up your daily boosters and try to get lolipop hammers from playing games cc suggests. Then when the game is going decent, start using the boosters wisely. Sorry to all of u who are still stuck. I played it for weeks.
Can't stand this one it's terrible
Impossible now just boring!!! I made it this far and it's the first time I have lost interest! Fix this leave please then I be back! I'm on to other games now!!
You know what? I'm done. Been playing this level for two weeks went through all my saved up lives and every single f.... Booster I had.
Level 655 has caused me to lose interest in CC. So tired of chocolate sprinkles spewing and stripes exploding for no reason. Have played so many times I've lost count. Used to play for hours each day, but am now playing another game with those houes. I will still try a few times a day, but not like before. Not even frustrated Nymore; just resigned.
I will admit I spent a few dollars to pass levels in past but fewer than $5.00 and I have had harder levels but I believe Candy Crush made this level so hard that they are determined to have more pay. Quite frankly I don't see how any boosters can help since they blow up before you can use them!! Unfortunhately I think this is the end of my Candy Crush addiction! I haven't seen anyone pass this level and therefore I'm going on to other more pleasureable games! Bye, bye CC!! OH and F&^%$%* you too because I really did like playing!!
For those of U that have passed FU!! I do't believe you!! Too frustrating to even speak right now!!
Made it this far mostly enjoying. This level is so ridiculously difficult and mind numbingly boring, that unless something changes soon, I'm out.
You would think they would do something about the fact that players quit the game because of stupid levels like this one.
I want to seriously thank Candy Crush for curing my addiction. I have been on this level for a month and haven't even come close. I have a ton of free boosters which I don't use because they don't help and around 20 extra lives. I may give it a daily try but I have found several other fun games to try. I'm not alone judging by all the comments
Ok. The developers have managed to take away any desire to play this game with this level. I havent before but i would even consider spending some money if i thought there was any chance to help me win. But i dont see how any boosters could help. This level is boring, almost impossible and a huge waste of time. Good luck to those still trying....
This level is designed to fail. Notice that anytime you have a stripe or wrap, there will ALWAYS be multiple candies of the same color close by. Even if you manage to get rid of 3 of them, the board will cascade and more like colored candies will come right back.
There's absolutely no skill involved with this level either. If you do try to make moves and succeed in making a stripe or wrap, the board will cascade and either blow them up for you or they'll magically blow up on their own.
I've had one game where I had 6 or 7 stripes on the board and 1 single cascade wiped them all out at once.
Too frustrating, too boring, and too buggy of a level. It's been a fun game until this level, I'm out and done.
another week of this stupid idiotic level, 4 weeks now and counting..BORING BORING and just ridiculous..no fun, not much of a challenge. can get a wrap and stripe, and maybe 1 or 2 combos' but that's it, and that's if the bombs don't explode..wasting to many lives on this dumb level...not gonna pay for any boosters,,,many more games to play that are just fun to pass the time, this is not fun anymore!
Eventually I beat this stupid level, but only with boosters. I had a lucky board that left me with one combo when I ran out of moves, but I had a stripe sitting in the right corner. So I bought five more moves with these new gold bars (never ever spent money on CC and never will), used a hand switch to form another stripe and a lollipop hammer to bring it beside the other stripe. I was fortunate enough that neither of them blew up before I could match them. Good riddance to this level.
Gabi
man. I wasted days, DAYS not getting anywhere even close on the app.
Beat it within three tries on a laptop through facebook - it looks like the desktop version doesn't make a ton of candies vanish (or burst, if they are special candies) when they cascade.
Week 5. Still not even close. I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that cc will only let you pass if you have given them money. Goodbye
In theory, any of these levels should be winnable without boosters through a combination of a lucky board and some skill. Not this level. And if you read the comments for level 677, it's even worse than this one. Yep, time to find something else to do.
This level feels quite hopeless...to those who are upset that it took them 2 days to pass, feel better, because I've been playing for two weeks and haven't even come within 2 combos of passing. At first I rated this level as 'fun', but now it's beyond boring, because no amount of strategizing helps; the minute something's lined up to go, they blow. Even with boosters of extra moves and colour bombs, there's no getting through. I'm really frustrated and disappointed, but I'll keep trying! LOL
Totally impossible level. Been trying for over a month and have not gotten close. I think this level is a waste of time and very boring.
I've been on this level for a week. Finally, this level killed my addiction on candy crush. I have only played for 20min the whole day, rather than hours... It's total waste of time to see no chance of getting through. Bye bye candy crush. I think King's strategy to raise revenue by making the game more difficult to play just back fired. I hope other players who has been helping King's bottom line can come to the same realisation.
I sometimes browse this site when i get stuck on a level to see if i just suck or if it is really terribly hard. sounds like this one is a bad one,. Ive been stuck over a month on levels before (*cough* 500 *cough*) so ill keep trying, but the bad part about this one is the boosters from the wheel really do no good
