We've all been there. :-)

All of our game's levels are manually reviewed and played by multiple people during the design process. These playtesters all verify that each level can be completed without using any Boosts or extra bonuses. There's never a trick or a secret to beating any level.

Here are some common strategies for difficult levels.
  • Use your Boosts! I know we just said you can win each level without them, but that's what they're for. You earned them, you can use them! Boosts are available free throughout the game. :-)
  • Always look for opportunities to match four or five pieces, even if that doesn't seem to help you right away. Line Boost and Bomb Boosts are always helpful to create, even if you don't know when you'll use it.
  • Combine Boosts for bigger effects. For example, if you have the Rainbow Gem boost (aka the "beach ball"), don't just use it right away. Try to maneuver a Line Blast or Bomb next to it. A Rainbow Gem and a Bomb combination can be very effective in just about every situation.
  • If the level is challenging you to collect Tokens, use the Token Multiplier to your advantage -- match Tokens in a sequence of moves, and each Token collected will be worth double, triple or more!
  • For levels with Glass, use the Switch Boost to move pieces where they can clear Glass when they are matched.
  • Use the Bomb Boost to create other Boosts. For example, if you can match three of something, look to see if you could match four if only you cleared one piece out of the way. That's where the Bomb Boost can really come in handy.
