The All Help blog suggests going after the striped/striped first since these do less damage, then looking for a striped/color bomb where there are few of the striped color on the board. I think this is good advice. I passed this level by using a ton of boosters, mostly switch hands (I had over 100 from sugar drops and wheel), but before setting off striped/color bomb combos I used hammers to remove any of the striped color that could hit another color bomb. The level is quite buggy, so you do run the risk of using up boosters only to have it freeze on you near the end.
There's at least one video of passing it without boosters, so it can be done. I fought my way through levels like 410 and 425 without boosters when they were much harder to come by, but these days I lack the patience.
(Would people please stop kvetching about King's alleged attempts to make money by making levels too hard? It's a for-profit company, in business to make money. How it chooses to try to do that is its business decision. I'd bet that it's not in King's best interest to make levels too hard, because for every player who buys moves or boosters there are three who get frustrated and quit entirely. I don't work there and know no one who does, but that's my guess.)

Has anyone else ever noticed those help videos on a hard level on the youtube site is always suspicious looking. It seems wierd, first of all, how they ALWAYS have perfect candies coming down where I have the exact opposite. Also, how do you even do a video of the game. Wouldnt u have to know u were going to beat it first or would u record every time?

Henry_Dupont

I used 7 Hand Switchers & 1 lollipop to beat level 1180, I only had 3 Colored Bomb + Stripe to get so i started Switching lol. took me forever to get that far though. Good Luck everyone! I agree Mystery Candies should keep coming down and open up the board more.

Thanks for trying to police our comments! We really appreciate it!

I have been playing the sugar track while waiting on new levels and saved a whole lot of boosters. I had over 100 free switches, 50 lollipop hammers, 15 col,or bombs, 23 wrapped/striped combos and almost 200 lucky candies. I have used EVERY SINGLE BOOSTER in my stash except the lucky candies. I still have those but the problem is usually when you use those they do drop throughout the game but in this level they only come up in the beginning. This tells you they have either intentionally made an impossible level or they simply failed to allow more mystery candies to drop.

Well the bright side is that I did not pay for them as I earned them on the sugar track.

That's horrible and a perfect example of why this level is developed to make money . I am sorry you lost all those boosters!

Connie_Eller

Was going to ask that question also. This level is beastly. If you manage to get the multi-colored - striped combos (which I have only done once)---It seems that there are always 8 stripe to stripe combos left which are ridiculously hard to get. I may try the stripe to stripe first but then you lose the multi colored. I think they forgot to drop more surprise candies--it is needed here

Very difficult, and frustrating when a required combo is made, all of mystery candies are then eliminated! Not a fun level to play at all.

gypsynhobbes

I am having the same problem. I even watched someone online who did complete it, but they used 4 hands to complete it. If you get two striped together and use them, you run the risk of exploding everything off the page and then you have nothing. What makes it worse is the bombs. You can't strategize when you are seeing that something is ready to explode. I think this level is ridiculous and unfair. This might be the level that makes me stop playing this game. I'm disgusted.

Former_User

another issue is the colorbombs and striped candies activating at random and setting off a cascade which clears all the ones needed to complete the level.

Mine has frozen a lot as well! It only seems to happen when the game is going well.

PopyPap

I have the same experience with Arr Cee. My screen freezed and a candy appeared below the middle grid (but at the right side). The game freezed 3 times during my play. I believe the level has a bug, we have to report this.

Former_User

William, save your boosters as they will only go to waste. The only exceptions I would say are free switches and lollipop hammers. If you have saved enough gold bars from playing the sugar track you can extend play a time or two and maybe that will help. But really, it's designed for us to fail.

Tammy_Kory

It doesn't matter what you start with. The completion is not possible without boosters. and based on Effie's post you need a lot of boosters with no guarantee of them working. I guess this is another level that I have to wait for Candy Crush to decide they made enough money off of it to change it.

William_Bibb

I have been stuck forever too. And I am not even sure the best way to start. Is it better to start off w/ bomb&striped combo or striped&striped combo?

I am not even sure boosters would help with this level. If so, I think you would have to buy a lot of them and extra moves at that.

The only pass I have seen used about a dozen sticky finger switches. I only have one, so I will trudge on trying to get by without boosters

Peter_Tornaros

I finally got it, but it took using 6 hammers and 8 hands !!

parlady99

I agree with everyone who answered. This level might just end my CC play which would be a shame. Hopefully CC will rethink this level before people quit. If more mystery candies fell, we might have a chance. Even the videos show people using lots of boosters.

I agree...when are they going to realize that we just love playing the game and don't want to be annoyed by levels like this. Give us a challenge , yes. But don't give us levels that are played hundreds of times with the same results.

Peter_Tornaros

This Level is ridiculous, again either devised by an incompetent or a total lack of quality control. Definitely poorly designed with the total lack of mystery candies and only sheer luck lines up 2 stripes or stripe/freckled !!!

I was just coming on here to post about this exact thing. I'm not wasting my boosters on this. It's impossible.... I've tried it SO many different ways. Striped/striped first, color/striped first... NO GOOD

i got down to one combo needed...by doing all the double striped combos first..and had one candy bomb/stripe combo left...havent gotten that close again

lady-nutter

The worse problem i have had with this level is that everytime i get down to just needing a couple of combo's the game freezes on me, because i did not want to loose this fab 'game', l left it for a while to see if it would unfreeze alas it did not so i had to reload the game and lost. Not happy and as i can see no garuntee that the freezing problem would not happen again i refuse to pay out any money. I have tried to send a message to king but have not had a reply, really bad customer service.

Former_User

I just had a chat with a king rep who says they are working on a fix for this level. I would avoid playing until they fix it.

Diana_Milone

well I hope they fix it as its annoying. cannot even get close especially having to get all the 2 striped candies and like others said above once you set it off you lose all what you need. I am getting bored. please fix

Amanda_G

I think this will finally be the level that gets me to quit, which is a shame. I don't see how it's possible to pass the level even with purchasing extra boosters. I wish you could pay to SKIP a level because I would totally opt for that at this point. The level isn't even interesting to play - just hard.

Former_User

I commented earlier that I had a chat with a King rep who said they are working on a fix. I wonder why they removed my comment?

Simon_Chiarvesio

Ok this is the level that I will stop playing. The level is far too hard and I really don't see how this can be passed without buying credits, which is not aloud by facebook rules on games! What makes is even worse, the level is unstable with faults so sorry, not even worth spending money to pass, King this is the last where I quit. King, you have gone too far with this level!!!!

Giorgos_

I'm done with this game. i finally finish this stage after using more than 20 hands and lollipops and at the end of the last mix up it froze! i had to refresh page and the stage was not past. No one seems to care and fix it and this is not fun anymore. no support not nothing all they do is take money and nothing else.

Renz_LC

I agree with everyone who answered. This level might just end my CC play which would be a shame. Hopefully CC will rethink this level before people quit. If more mystery candies fell, we might have a chance. Even the videos show people using lots of boosters.

hey king! come on king! make levels that are manageable to pass. it's IMPOSSIBLE to make that amount of color bombs + striped and add the striped + striped. those combos take a lot of moves and with that board shape with conveyor it's so tough to make those orders. there's also the bombs that may explode if not defused in time. make modifications and NERF this level please! king for the sake of us players. make a TRUE level, not a ridiculously insane one!!! For the sake of the many CCS lovers make this level possible to accomplish, I plead for a fix on this level

Marnie_England

I actually just got through this one with only one hand switch and one extra move. It needs a bit of patience, but like another user said, do the stripe/stripe combos early and fire them into the dead patches as much as possible to create the least disturbance. When you first start, make your first move to uncover a 3-combo contain two mystery candies. Those are the ones you'll get a two-stripe from. Then fire that two stripe into a blank area or use the licorice to stop the avalanche. I ended up get five of them done before I had to to set off a colour bomb. Good luck people!

Ragana

Just another level designed to force us into making a purchase!

agree, I'm not going to waste time & money. King games uninstalled. Goodbye King

Thanks for the info. This level definitely needs a fix.
