    Seriously, how the hell did people do level 181!? I get that the best strategy is to go for wrapped+striped combos but the candies they give me just aren't making that possible. Horrible level.
    If I wasn't this far in the game I'd definitely give up and never play it again. I have wasted so much time trying to do this stupid level :mad:

    That level was horrible. I'd painstakingly try to make the correct combinations, only for a random candy to come down and ruin everything.

    Does anyone have any problems with the game syncing to their phone? Every time I load the app on my phone it is a few levels behind where I got on the PC.

    I had a dream last night that I completed level 213. It's not right that I'm now dreaming about this damn game.

    Work on he bottom rows, then the top ones fill up on their own.

    Hey, thanks for the advice but apparently all I had to do to pass the level was come on here and say I couldn't pass it! I completed it like 10 minutes later, lol. I'm now on 147.

    That's definitely when you know you're addicted, eh? I haven't gotten that far yet but I can definitely see it happening!

    Wow that's excellent! How long did it take you to do 213? I've been at it for two weeks now :mad:

    Three days it took me. I hate it when a level requires nothing but luck to pass.

    A lot of folk get stuck on 65 for weeks but I did it in less than an hour, just through luck.

    That is very true

    I did a level 181 yesterday and I had been on it for a week often not even getting close but that time I did it in 5 moves and ended up with the top score amongst my friends

    Level 202 is a bitch.:mad:

    I am stuck on that one too! Looks easy to start with, but you still have to make 6 candies yourself, and the best I have done is 4, leaving 2 still to get. :mad:

    Not as bad as 208. I've been stuck on 208 for over a week and finally completed it.:D

    So far I have wasted an hour playing this infernal game. I only got up to get a glass of water.

    I've had one jelly left a few times now. And I've had super-fantastic-world-record-breaking-scores. But I can't get through it *wails hysterically*

    Me and OH are both stuck on the same level - I have a feeling that whoever gets through first may well end up being murdered by the other :D Some things are unforgivable in a marriage!

    It took me weeks to get past that one. I did on a random go on Saturday night...in front of my friends. The cheer and squeal that came out of me, the excitement...before my friend reminded me I was playing computer games on a Saturday night and queried why I was a single 27year old...:o

    When I did level 65 I jumped up and did a dance around the living room.

    Mum always thought I was odd anyway

    Kinda related, I installed "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" on my phone the other day.

    It seemed like quite a decent "world-building" game, even if you avoid paying for "donuts" to speed things along.

    Alas, it seems to absolutely hammer the battery-life of my phone. It's as if it keeps running in the background and uses up your battery.
    For 3 or 4 days, pretty-much every time I left my phone unplugged from the charger I'd go to use it a few hours later and the battery would be flat again.
    That got it deleted.

    Anyway, I had a look on google (looking for reports of it causing battery drain) and it turns out that the game has generated $50m in profit for EA since it was launched.
    That's not bad going for a "free" game. :o
