Hi cinpap😊
I hear you, those higher levels can be really challenging! Level 17044 definitely sounds tough.
Have you tried any specific strategies, like focusing on clearing blockers first or setting up special candy combos?
If you're still stuck, maybe some other players who have passed this level can share their tips! @christinewupp do you have any advice for cinpap or maybe we can tag someone else who might be in this level to help?
Hang in there, and let us know how it goes 💪😊
I am sorry but I cannot be of any help here but will add my screenshot of this level to illustrate that there are no tricks here to help you pass this. There are five colours so getting striped/wrapped combos or colour bombs forming is hard, with so few candies. The four keys are covered in marmalade, so they take a lot of moves to unlock. Before you have unlocked those keys there is no point playing a party popper or UFO. I play such levels by making the best moves possible to try to get the keys early and then play a party popper and see where that gets me. Often I need a UFO as well. This is a legendary level above 17,000, so it is within 1500 levels from the end of the game. This is where King really make things hard for players @cinpap , because they count on players who have come this far to want to catch up with the end of the game. My best advice might be to pause playing for a month and then see if these levels have become easier.
This is how far I got by the time I had the whole board unlocked. I would play a party popper at this point and hope it will clear the board enough to finish it in the remaining moves. But there is no guarantee of that, and a safer bet is always to try and try and try until the game offers you a hundred extra moves for 10 gold bars, and then pay up.
