Took lots of tries, but I finally passed 290. Good old blaster + bomb combos did the trick, plus a diamond that activated a horizontal blaster at the perfect time. It's important to have the right specials/combos when you need them bcuz you cannot progress until every block of dirt/super dirt is cleared. It feels strange, since we're used to the screen scrolling when it gets to just one row. But not with these levels--even at the goal line. The time is really tight on this, too. If you're like me, though, you'll get better at it with practice & eventually get a luckier board (that has the special jewels you need.)

Level 291: 16 fire in 65 moves (5JC.) They added 5 moves since the orig. post. It's pretty challenging--haven't gotten very close to passing yet. There are plenty of moves to get the lock and chain (L&C) open. But the flames at the bottom are very difficult to reach. A little more practice & some luck, though, and I can beat this level. In the meantime, I'm enjoying this..a great game at my own pace!

Passed 291 w/diamond + blaster & blaster + bomb combos, as well as some perfect matches near the flames at the bottom. This level took a little luck...not bad though, for a fire level, lol! Naw, I don't mind fire when it's a moves level. Mostly "moves" on this island--love it!
Level 292: Dig 14 meters in 90 moves (5JC.) Passed this one on my first attempt. Used lots of horizontal blasters (as Aileeni mentioned,) as well as several blaster + bomb combos. Fun level!
Level 293: Dig 22 meters in 75 moves (5JC.) This level's fun bcuz you can make lots of special jewels. Diamonds are awesome for the snakes, and blasters/blaster + bomb combos for the dirt. Still getting tripped-up too long on some areas waiting to clear 1 or 2 blocks of dirt (gotta get thru faster!) I've made it to the 3rd region most rounds, just not enough moves to finish.
Changes~ 292: +15 moves; 293: +10 moves

Finally got a round on 293 where it all came together. Didn't use as many combos as on other rounds, mostly blasters instead (horiz. blasters for snakes, plus a diamond or 2.) At the end, I had one snake left, but I "reached the goal" regardless. I guess ****ing snakes doesn't matter if there's no dirt underneath them(?)
These 3-region digging layouts are fun, with a few differences. For ex., it doesn't help to make "extra" special jewels. Normally on digging levels I make all the blasters, bombs, & diamonds I can. But on this type, if I'm nearly through an area, I only make what I think I need (esp. on moves levels.) No use using a move to make a diamond, cuz when the screen scrolls down--it's gone! The jewels don't seem to move from section to section...

294: The crates near the bottom on the left & right make it even harder to reach the flames. I haven't had time to break them in any of my attempts so far, and it's the only way to get direct access to the bottom row fire. But there's no time; I spend the whole time fighting the "active" fire, breaking the other crates, & creating special jewels (hoping I can combine them in a good spot.) For anyone who's passed this--did you break those crates on left/right? Or did you blast them from above? (Or just get lucky with diamond + blaster, etc.?)
Btw: speaking of diamond + blaster combos, does anyone know what determines the type of blasters created? When you swap a diamond with a blaster, it changes every jewel of the blaster's color into a blaster. Usually most of the created blasters are either row or column blasters, with a couple of the opposite type thrown in. What determines getting mostly horizontal row blasters, for example? If you swap a diamond with a row blaster, do you get mostly row (horiz.) blasters? Or is it the way you swap--like if you swipe horizontally, do you get a majority of row blasters? I was trying to figure it out last time I combo'd, but my theory at the time didn't make sense. Anyone know for sure, or is it just random?
