The problem as I see it, is the only way to beat this level, is to get a color bomb next to a striped or a wrapped candy. After playing this level for three days and probably 100 tries, I have gotten that combination only one time. That got me almost nowhere and still the bombs exploded before I could get to them. Also, two color bombs next to each other would be great, however I have never gotten that in all the games I played.
I received unlimited lives, but at this poing, I am kind of done with this game now. I used about 10 lives this morning before I had no more, and still, didn't even get close.
When I googled this level, I saw one person beat it without specials, but miraculously, that person got numerous combinations noted above. After more than 100 tries, I only got that combination once as noted above.
Also, since you stopped all my ads that gave me some bonuses for the past few weeks, I have nothing left to fall back on. I have used all my specials and have purchased more, but without success.
Maybe someday, I will come back to Candy Crush, but for now, it poses nothing but frustration for me, and the furthest thing from a stress reliever.
