Has anyone tested the newly adjusted levels?

Question

When the levels were revised and given lower moves, did anyone at King test them first? I'm stuck on level 1342, I've used candy fish, a colour bomb and striped/wrapped combo in now game and still cannot pass. The task is to clear 35 double jellies now with just 12 moves and includes liquorice blockers too. I refuse to pay money to pass a level but I shouldn't have to use all my boosters either.

I am also stuck on 1342. I don't have any boosters left and therefore no way of clearing this in 12 moves. Fed up now

Hi Lyndsay, yes these levels are tested and the studio monitors them in the background to see how the players are doing - how many clear the level and how long it takes to clear it.  I just checked here to see if anyone else has reported this level and you are the first player reporting it.  I will keep my eyes open here in the next few days to see if anyone else reports this.

Here is a tip on how to clear it:  https://candycrushsagaallhelp.blogspot.com/2015/11/candy-crush-saga-level-1342.html

Hi Elsa This hasn't helped at all The video shows 20 moves but the game has 12 now. I've been working on this level for over a week which is ridiculous and I think having got this far proves that I know how to play the game. You don't even need to concentrate on clearing the bombs as they are 15 move bombs and the game is 12 moves. I'd like a tutorial showing how to complete it in 12 moves please.

Unfortunately Lyndsay, there are no videos showing it done with 12 moves.

The videos are outdated because the video creators make them when the levels are first released.  The studio monitors all levels when they are released and they check to see how many players clear a specific level and how long it takes for them to clear it.  If it's too easy or too difficult they will "tweak" the levels a bit.  The video creators can't keep up with the studio changes so you are still only seeing the first video release.

I haven't seen anyone posting here about this level and maybe they surpassed it or haven't gotten to it yet.  I can tell you though that most of these levels now require boosters to clear and that is how the players are passing them.
