Now got to work on 84

OMG I can not figure this one out. I've lost count of how many tries I've had. Come on team lava at least give us some hints. I've used all my coins brought countless gems used all my money buying boost and coloured bubbles, nothing is helping........ Give us a clue......

[OpeningCeremony]

okay let's go step by step.

here is a pic of the bottom section:

1. shoot a pink bubble (or whatever bubble color you have that matches the middle triangle of bubbles, that is pink in this case) straight up. make sure it is very straight up.
2. that clears the area to get to the other + bubbles that are purple and red.
3. shoot a purple or red bubble straight up again. it doesn't matter which one you shoot first, just make sure it is one of those colors that match those + bubbles. make sure you don't angle the ball at all or it will get stuck on the other bubbles up top and it won't pop the middle to get to the lightning ball.
4. shoot the remaining color ball straight up again.
5. shoot any color ball straight up into the lightning ball. this should pop all the bubbles including the venom bubbles and bring you to see only 2 clusters of balls at the bottom of the screen.

now to the top section:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2j1oh2f.png
1. you need to be careful not to pop the row of pink bubbles that have the venom bubbles attached. so first you need to clear the row of 3 pink bubbles on the left and the right side that are in the middle row right under the purple + bubble & pink bubbles w/ venom top row.

here is a pic of how you should angle your ball to clear the right side:
http://i46.tinypic.com/2amfbn.png
1. pay attention to where the angle of the ball is, if you look at the stream it kind of lines up with that background line just under the branch of the tree. at this angle it will hit that middle row perfectly to pop it. if you don't get it the first time try to adjust and remember where that line is so next time you'll get it right the first time.

here is a pic of how you should angle your ball to clear the left side:
http://i48.tinypic.com/s16ud5.png
1. remember you have to clear the middle pink row first, so use a pink ball (not the other color) i just used purple to show the angle of the ball more clearly and where it should be placed according to the trajectory that it shows.
2. once you clear the middle section of pink, use the purple balls to clear the top row by placing it in the same exact spots that you used to clear the pink middle row. so once again use the markers to place the ball as shown in the above 2 pictures.
3. when you clear the purple balls on the left and right side, the middle pink venom row will drop, but remember that bottom row of 2 pink bubbles on each side is still up there.

now to free the babies:
1. just shoot balls on each side, alternating the colors per side. so it'd be very helpful if you took a screenshot to remember which colors are on each side.
2. do not angle the balls too much when you shoot up, but also do not shoot the balls straight up.

ok i hope this helped!!!!

i have a weird problem. my level 83 looks different (see screenshot; at the top are babies at both sides above the ice-bubbles) and i simply can't beat it. never enough bubbles to even reach the blizzard-bubbles. any ideas (why my lvl83 is different and how to beat it) here? http://db.tt/vC9KCRvG

[manuli1]

note: there are icy-bubbles at both sides (on the right one cannot see it because they are still covered from this "curtain")

[MEatLarge]

I have this same screen for level 83 and its just impossible to get through! I can get to the icy bubbles but its usually my last 2 or 3 bubbles, not nearly enough even break them to get to the babaies!

mine looks the same....no extras available. Been trying for weeks but cannot get it completed get up to blue 'flash' bubbles but never enough to finish.......why are screens different?

[DancingR0se]

This is not what I have for level 83.

[DancingR0se]

I mean I don't have the one with the tutorial; I have the one manuli1 posted also. Any ideas?

[kristanlh]

My tips:
- You only need to get up through one side, so pick one and stick with it instead of splitting your efforts on both sides (which will only waste more bubbles).
- Pop the colored bubbles that are holding up the steel bubbles, so that you can use one of the walls for bounce shots.

[DancingR0se]

Kristen, that doesn't work. You have to clear both "iron curtains" for the screen to scroll down where you can see the top part. TL please help

[kristanlh]

Mmm, no, you only need to clear one side to get to the lightning bubbles. Once you hit a lightning bubble, it will clear everything below and then scroll up.

[DancingR0se]

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

[kristanlh]

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!

[littlenemo]

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:
9825

Here's what it looks like after I've concentrated on one side only for a bit:
9826

And here's what it looks like when I've been utterly defeated:
9827

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!?

[kristanlh]

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.

[littlenemo]

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!

[littlenemo]

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!

[kristanlh]

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. :)
