Really stuck on Level 3271

BettinaRick · October 2022

Hi everyone,

I was not able to play the Candy Cup as I've been stuck for days on this level and just cannot seem to get out and go on further in the game. I have tried to beat in on my phone, another browser and then also in the Facebook game - nothing helps. Does anyone here have a hint as the Youtube videos haven't helped me at all either?

THANK you SO much in advance and for those of you who actually know how to beat this one 😘

Hey there, crusher in trouble,

I just (re)tried this level and it's indeed annoying. However, I almost cleared it after 4 attempts. Almost. 😁

Gotta point out that I didn't use any boosters, nor ads, in order to see how it goes totally vanilla. As usual, when you have no help, the only thing you can rely on is... luck. Joke aside, strategy/skill simply isn't enough when randomness is against you.

IMHO, you could either clear some room in the space above first, hoping for more powerful candies, or focus at the bottom to let the cherries move down, or both (sometimes you don't really have a choice).

I could've cleared it with just 1 Lolli Hammer or Switch you get from Cinema and Wheel. Help from ads would've also come in handy. In any case, having even the smallest arsenal could lead to success. That is why it's very important for you to not burn everything before attempting a hard level.

I personally started planning my playtime in order to not be disadvantaged at the Episode Race, as well as not losing my Sam's bundle (win streak) too often. My so called planning includes decreasing my playtime, partially because of this new life claiming limit. At some point I was doing 500 levels a week but that exhausted my resources in a couple of weeks. With 1 gold bar and no boosters left, I almost gave up playing. So I came to the conclusion that I should focus on preparation first (daily Wheel and Machine, as well as Cinema) in order to not fail Royale and episode win streak.

Good luck and have fun! :-)

Thanks a bunch. It all made so much sense to me and I will need to do the same - preparing my gaming time as I only have a few hours for gaming when off from work anyway.

I've been stuck for a while and haven't reached any boosters or gold for some time now - so there were nothing I could use to help me get out of this and nothing in sight that I can win to prepare myself onwards. So I'll just try a couple of times during the day - eventually I guess the game itself gets bored of me playing that same level over and over again 😅

Do you have Sweet Cinema? It's very helpful and I'm really sorry for people who don't have it or don't get to see ads at all, as they affect many game features.
