Candy Crush Saga Level 2229 tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2229 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
 You have to score 100,000 points in 20 moves to complete the level.

 There are 2 bombs locked in marmalade which you have to clear in the first 10 moves before they explode and end the game. This isn't too hard as long as you can clear the blockers and get the candies dropping in the left side of the board, this will give you more space to make colourbombs and other special candies to clear the bombs.
For this reason you need to break through the blockers and get candies into the bottom right section in as few moves as possible so that you can clear the bombs.
You may be able to clear them using sideways stripes but you need a bit of luck.
Once you have cleared the first bombs keep working in the right side of the board to create cascades, but look for colourbomb patterns as these will give you the best score.

If the level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know in the comments and I will try to change it.

I enjoyed this one. Building up points is painfully slow, but not difficult once the board is opened up and the +5 and bombs show up regularly. If your nerves are good, you can probably keep playing for a verrrry long time.

Unable to crush the initial bombs on the right and if they do drop there is nothing to match them with. The long cascades take up too much time on the clock and I run out of time. No fun and waiting on lucky board.

I've been playing for 3 days and finally I got the points I needed, but I got greedy and had over 500,000 points and didn't pay close enough attention and a bomb got me. No luck since then and next time I'll just let the timer run out.

LynnK said...

This time I was able to break through the blockers fairly quickly, but the cascade was so long that the clock ran out before I could make even one more move. Frustrating.

Rick said...

The biggest problem here is the two 10-move countdown bombs on the right in marmalade. It's hard to get to them. Most likely, they will kill your game rather than the clock. I passed this on the PC without any boosters but I was thinking, if after several tries and I am getting nowhere on this level, I'll start with a color bomb and hope the two bombs are of the same color. Then I would use 2 lollipops to hammer the bomb and switch the color bomb with a candy of the same color as the bombs. That will give you about 50,000 points right away. Several bombs will drop later on but by that time, you have broken into the right side already. Each bomb is worth 3,000 points so matching them will increase your score faster.
If you are having problem with this 1st of the 3 timed levels in this episode, wait till you get to level 2240.

I have no nerve for any of the timed level. I choke every time. Posting for a good luck.

I did just like Cookie's adviced and kept working in the right side of the board. Phew! Victory! That's why I come to this site:) Thank you!

My time just runs out watching the cascade drop to the bottom right side.
I was able to do 3 moves, and then the cascades just ate all the time up.

Sage here: all I can say is wow! More timed levels.

Sage said...

Sage here: me too. Me too.

Sage said...

Sage here: me too. Love Ms. Cookie and many of the comments. I find myself posting for luck too.

Sage said...

Sage here: Right. Cascades eat up time.

Mrs. M said...

I'm interested to see what they do with this level on mobile. The fact that the clock runs out during cascades is bogus. I guess this is another level where luck plays a big part. Anyway, I hope posting this brings me luck.

Anonymous said...

I'm also having an issue with the time running out during the long cascades. The fair thing for King to do would be to pause the timer until cascades finish.

Helpme said...

No matter what I do the clock rus out or the bombs explode using a hammer takes too much time.. need luckey board and I am hoping it comes soon as I hate timed levels.

On Android requirement is 200,000 points in 25 seconds with 9 count time bombs. Looks like I'll be here a long time.

Finally! 310,000, no boosters. Looked ahead and there are two more time levels this episode and apparently the last one is the worst. Not looking forward to it.

Was 150,000 this morning. Now 200,000.

Another useless, junk level. King sucks

None said...

Hey King, see all the comments, all you timed levels suck. But sure, keep em coming. Done with cc. Deleting

Anonymous said...

This one is impossible. Cascades eat up all the time. I guess we are due since the last level was actually fun and doable. King can you fix or at least give more time.

I have 24 seconds to get 200,000 points. Talk about luck, posting for it!

Total BS level. The cascades eat up all available time and you're done.

This level is just stupid. Who could possibly be having fun seeing their short few seconds run out as the candies cascade. I've had it for a while..I feel insulted

Unknown said...

Exactly!

Anonymous said...

I'm done unless they tweak this level. If I do break through the blockers, time runs out while the candies cascade and there's nothing I can do but sit there and watch. Shame on you, King.

Have played this game over 3 years , don't seem to enjoy playing it anymore , loved a challenge but some games have got silly , one would think king would want to keep old timers but the games have got stupid .25 seconds to get 200,000,the game cannot get started before its over , time to look elsewhere , shame

Unknown said...

This level is awful! I get to a point where I clear the bombs on right side and then no time candies drop, no ways to make sprinkle to get extra points for hitting the bombs, utterly ridiculous. I had some extra gold bars to use when I was close, don't waste them! No where close!!!

Anonymous said...

It's not a hard level, all u need is a little patience friends. I got it after 10 tries with no boosters. Dont give up! Good luck

Alison said...

Posting for luck, it's the cascades that are doing it for me, by the time they finish my time has run out.

Anonymous said...

I have NO TIME (pardon the pun) for ridiculous timed levels that are set up for you to continually lose!! I have played lots of them and I have also come to a point where I've had enough! When I get to this point, when visiting my daughter, I ask to use her laptop and surprise surprise I pass within a couple of games. It is so so much easier on a computer or laptop and I know some people do not have access to them but if the frustrAtion gets too much, just pop into an internet cafe, library etc. I know this is inconvenient for most but you WILL PASS. Onwards and upwards for me :-)

Anonymous said...

After maybe ten tries, haven't gotten more than 80,000 points yet. And yes, cascades usually eat up all the time before I can make any move. No strategy, just frantic action. No fun at all especially with my bad eyesight. Getting so bored and fed up with such levels.

Anonymous said...

I failed about five or six times before I passed with almost 400k. The second attempt I got 125k but twice I couldn't break through and the time ran out with three and four counts left on the bombs. I didn't think I was going to make it on the last attempt because of the cascades but a sprinkle formed next to the remaining start bomb colour and the score went to 185k. After that I just had to keep an eye out for the bombs.

Don't like these timed levels at all.

Yikes! That 25 sec goes so fast. All of a sudden, all your turns are used up.

anoniem said...

I don't like time levels. This one is impossible for me to do. What a pity.After so many years of playing with a lot of fun it stops here for me.

Anonymous said...

There's no way I'm beating this level! 200,000 points? The time runs out by the time the candies are finished falling after the first move!!!!!! It's Friggin Ridiculous! Guess I'm done with CC.

iPad has 200,000 in 25 seconds. Please correct..

Anonymous said...

When is the 200,000 going to be corrected to 150,000 as on vedio?

Unknown said...

another crap level. I hate timed levels anyway and its stupid to just get 25 seconds to make 200,000 when the cascades take your time and you can make a play. I keep saying i am going to quit but the time is getting shorter for this to be true.

bluemoon said...

More stupid boring timed levels disadvantaging the physically challenged. Boring tedious and stupid. awaiting a lucky board. very bored, no fun.

Anonymous said...

Challenging game. The cascades cause you to run out of time, before you can access the extra time, or the bombs. If you finally get a good board, and get rid of the bombs, then the extra time stops appearing. Posting for luck!

Anonymous said...

Posting for luck definitely works. As soon as I posted the above remarks, I passed this level, with a very lucky board, and then 2 more levels. Thank you , KING.

Hammer head said...

Come on cc your timed levels are getting silly. This one is just crazy. Come on king your lucky you still have us still playing.

Skribent said...

That is just bullshit. In sweden where I live, the score to beat is 200k. I got 168 before time runned out, and I am so angry right now. This has happend before in other levels to, that we have much more score to beat!!!

Anonymous said...

Losing patience with so many timed levels..especially this one which is totally BS.

Posting for luck. It's the only way to get 200K.

Guess I won't be spending much time on this cc level. Lives are gone in a flash and I can't get remotely close. 😕

I can't even break through to the right side of the board!

PURELY RIDICULOUS AND IMPOSSIBLE!

Unknown said...

For the first time I spent money on gold bars for candy crush. I'm so mad at myself. After I spent gold bars for the first extra 15 seconds, and then the second 15 seconds, I was out of gold bars. I was too invested at that point to not spend the money to get enough gold bars to finish it off. Basically I just never want to see this level again. I hear there is a worse one coming up but I'll deal with that when I get to it.

Absurd! Way to ruin the game, King!

Don't understand why I am even wasting my time on this one. 😕 After Reading Sandy's comment, it's not worth spending any money on it.

Anonymous said...

Posting for luck. First time I got over 176,000 points and I haven't been anywhere close to 100,000 since. And I stRted playing yesterday when I had a sprinkle ball at the start of each game. Today it's even worse with no sprinkle ball. Cascades don't get me as much as the bombs I can't get too. Honestly I don't see passing this one with no time to even think. And how discouraging to hear there are 3 timed levels in this round. Good luck everyone.

Anonymous said...

Agree with the above comment. Sprinkles have not helped me at all. Getting so ready to quit. This is no way to have fun when you just have to wait for a lucky board.

slychard said...

Normally this site has good insight, but, lots of time Candies? F off.

Anonymous said...

Absolutely agree! I'm tired of the Cascades taking all the time and I can't do a thing about making extra time let alone a sprinkler or killing the timed bombs. Even if I start with the Sprinler can't do this ridiculous level

Anonymous said...

King, are you kidding me? You really need my $2 to buy one extra move? Then i see no other reason to cut off the score at 199,620. Thanks, King, you suck.

I agree. I'm going to give it a go on the PC. Had no luck on the mobile. I think CC has finally broken me. I just don't have the energy or enthusiasm for it anymore.

Anonymous said...

This is the most ridiculous level. Kings level designers are proving to be jackasses. Three weeks trying, 90,000 is the best I've got. No problem getting the bombs but hardly get any extra time candies and the cascades eat up the time always. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Goodbye cc.

susie said...

Seems impossible. The cascades just use up what little time you have. Five lives gone in a few minutes. Sadly it seems like the end is in sight for my CC days.

susie said...

What can I say, a few tries after posting above I got it! Can't give any tips really, the game almost played itself. So take heart, lucky boards do come along!

liloldlady said...

Can't even crush the two timed bombs in 10 shots...this makes it a very boring level for me. Going through lives in 3 minutes. Really need some luck here.

Anonymous said...

Same as everyone else. Cascades (if you even get into the bottom right side in time) just run the clock down and game over. Beyond boring. Lucky board is the only way to get this one I guess.

Anonymous said...

Luck is needed for this one. Waiting for my lucky board!

JC said...

This one is killing me but I like it! Posting for luck so I can move on

Stacey said...

Ridiculous..... even with booster helmet. I run out of time after 1 move because the cascade eats up all of the time. :(

Candy Thompson said...

It is no fun when CandyCrush cheats to win...the timer is supposed to stop while the cascades are falling...this is so blatently cheating it should be embarrassing to CandyCrush

barb W said...

Yep, cascades are the enemy as they eat up all the time - not sure how to go about this one other than waiting for 'the lucky board'.

Anonymous said...

Why is this not classified as hard?

Anonymous said...

I agree with several posters - cc eats up my time.

Anonymous said...

It does eat up time when I only get 20 seconds and it takes sometimes 10 seconds for the cascades to stop. And to make matters worse, it does not give me the numbers I need when it does cascade so long. Only a lucky board will be able to help me here I feel.

Anonymous said...

I used Rick's trick of starting with a Colour Bomb and hoping to hit the 2 countdown bombs in the right. It worked some of the time but even when the countdown bombs were released the cascades were slow and there were no matches for the bombs in order to kill them. 25 seconds is gone in the space of a few breaths in and out. Why would the designers think it would be fun for a player to lose 5 lives in the space of a very few minutes?

This is one of the most ridiculous levels I have ever seen. And then they raise it to 200,000.....just crazy.
