That's not my experience. Maybe it matters what color you pop a lightning bubble with???

No, doesn't matter what color you pop a lightning bubble with. And I literally just did this to make sure my advice worked (i.e., I cleared one side, then bounced a shot off the wall to pop a lightning bubble) and it cleared everything below the lightning bubbles. So if you try it again and it doesn't work, maybe contact the Bubble Mania team and let them know there's something wrong with your game.
Good luck!
kristanlh, I think level 83 has been changed. Mine looks nothing like the screen shots I've seen here and elsewhere, but sounds like what you describe. Maybe TeamLava changed it because it was too difficult? Even with the much smaller version, I still haven't been able to clear this level. I will try your advice!
littlenemo-
I have a different level (can't remember which number though) that looks like the screenshots on the first page of this thread, but yes, I think the current level 83 is different for everyone now. I'm pretty sure TeamLava *does* change the levels sometimes. Hopefully you can beat the new 83 now!
Okay, I have been loving this game up till now, but now I'm ready to give up because I am stuck on this one level. There is way to get extra bubbles in this level short of buying them (which I won't do). As I noted above, my level 83 looks totally different from the screen shots posted here and elsewhere. I thought I had the same version as kristanlh, but since she had success focusing on one side, and that is not an option in my version, I am at a loss.
Here's what my level 83 looks like at the start:
Here's what it looks like after I've concentrated on one side only for a bit:
And here's what it looks like when I've been utterly defeated:
Does anyone else's level 83 look like mine? If so, have you been able to get through it (without using boosts)? And if so, how!?
Okay, weird: My level 83 DOES look like your screenshots. So I don't know why my lightning bubbles drop everything and yours don't... :/
But it should still be beatable. In that second screenshot, I think all you would have to do to get all the other bubbles to fall is to clear the bubbles connected to the center formation of stone/steel bubbles.
Then you could bounce shots off the walls at the ice bubbles.
kristanlh, thanks for the advice. I understand what you're saying, but I'm just failing at it miserably. That area becomes more cluttered with a hodgepodge of colors the more I try to bring it down. And then I run out of bubbles before I can rescue the final batch of babies. *sigh* I guess I'll just keep plugging away. I like this game because it isn't stressful the way Tetris-style games are, but this level has me stressed!
Finally! Sheesh! What a slog that was. And as far as I can tell, there's no clever trick to doing this. It's just about being as efficient as possible and getting lucky, too. The two strings of black bubbles have to come down first, and to get them down you have to pare away at the sides of that center chunk. Then you need to ricochet to open a hole and hit one of the lightning bubbles. And, yeah, you really do need a minimum of 35 or so bubbles at the point that the second string of black bubbles comes down. I was really lucky and had more than 60 when I finally cleared this stage. One thing you don't want to mess up: Make sure that you hit the ice bubbles with bubbles that are the same color as the pairs of bubbles enclosing the babies. The reason is that ice bubbles become the same color as the bubble that exploded them. Then you only have to hit them once again with the same color bubble, and the babies' bubble are now exposed. You don't want to get all the way to this point and find yourself one bubble short just because you accidentally used a different color to explode the ice bubbles!
Glad you got through it!
There are a couple levels here and there that are a "slog" like that, but for the most part each level can be solved by a smart strategy, and that's what I appreciate most about this game.
