Fruit splash level 61

[gremela]

Hi can anybody shed any light as to how u clear the six boxes at the top in the middle. If u get a clearing fruit it only shoots up between the side & the middle. Is there a way to create a clearing fruit to go in a particular direction? Any help greatly appreciated

Hi, yes...the blasters that clear a row or column of fruit (or obstacle) can be "pointed" in a particular direction. You get either a vertical or horizontal blaster with every 7 or more fruit match. You get a bomb (the sunshine-looking fruit) and a blaster for 14 or more fruit chains. The blasters/bombs are placed randomly on the board. Then you activate them by using with at least 2 more like-colored fruits in a chain. The row or column where you stop swiping in that chain is where the blaster detonates. While you're swiping, the area that will be blasted gets kind of grayed-out, so you can see where it's going to go when you remove your finger.

So, say you have a vertical blaster and you want to aim it at one of those columns of mud at the top. You would have to create a fruit chain, linking the vertical blaster to a same-color fruit just underneath wherever you're "aiming." You can also aim at a row of those upper 6 muds. It could come from either side using a horizontal blaster instead. If I get a chance, I'll play the level again and take some screen shots. In the meantime, hope this helps! :)
