Ok I just passed 118 with 0 moves left and 1 star. Sheesh! Did pretty well on my 1st go at 119 and had like 1 or 2 glasses left. The entire board is double glassed but stone jewels and doom jewels drop in. My 2nd try, a doom jewel exploded within a few moves, I think the countdown started around 6? I can't remember. Ran out of energy so will try again in the morning.
For 117, you can't do anything about waiting for the bombs and blasters to go off so just focus on digging down and that's going to take blasters and bombs to do it. Plus you need to clear out those stone jewels. So don't really have any advice on that besides move fast
