For what's worth, I just tried level 963 spending maybe 7 lives on it, and at one try I just didn't spread any jelly at all. I'm not mad at the game, I know it's RNG. I'll pass the level another time…
@Alansmart I totally agree, this game needs a part of patience and strategy (no time limit, this is totally de-stressing) and a huge part of RNG, luck and chain reactions.
