Fluorescent Forest

[pcsgal]

This time I was staying on the same lvl until got 3 stars and then moved. I was following the same strategy on the previous stages. Last time (at Tranquil gardens) I only moved if I did not succeed in a whole day. This way I reached 3 stars there on every lvls except 289 (2*), 300 (2*), 304 (1*).

(My current progress is at 324, all 3* in the forest up to it).

The reason I follow this strategy is, that when I went back at previous levels to make them 3*, such as level 13x and so, I realized that there are certain lvls I am unable to make 3* now. Because I finish levels too early, in a few moves, I am "strong" (levelled up to 56), I hit much and cannot complete combinations that gives me good points because I just **** monsters too fast.

That makes sense! There are quite a few I have only 2 stars on that I can't better, and it makes sense as to why. Good strategy.

I haven't found this level too hard, only 1 stage where I only got 1 star, the rest 2 & 3 stars. (I'm not usually lucky with 3 stars!)
I've managed to get to 328 (I've been sick and not doing much else!)
Brace yourselves because it's not very easy. Here's a screen shot.

There's often only 1 possible match on the whole screen, plus locked bombs AND lanterns!
I haven't got through as yet, this may take awhile.
Anybody got tips?!

About to start it. Looks ugly!

So pcsgal... Your thoughts so far on 328?
I'm ready to give up! With levels that are challenging but seem do-able, I'm usually prepared to spend gold on getting through it. But this level - extra lives don't even seem worth it. I'm completely deflated with this level.
I've tried low-gem pals (like stone block and those unlocker pals) but I seem to have more luck using higher gem pals like the line blasters pals. But I'm no where near clearing all the greens and all the glass - let alone the bombs AND keeping the lanterns lit.
Have you found any pals that work well in 328?

Good luck both you Doing me too. Will tell if Ill have luck with anything. After about 20 tries it seems that all depends on luck.

thanks for sharing your strategy Anyuszko! Wow, you are amazingly powerful! I'm only at 47 myself, although I'm fairly close to 48 power level.

I've posted a list of my stages that I can't get 3 stars on in Wild Whilie West. If you have some time, maybe you could look at them and see if you have any advice? If not, no worries my friend. Have a great day!

Will check it later

Cant believe but I passed 328!! It was pure luck. When I saw my progress, started to make screenshots, see attached. Succeeded 2 stars, almost 3... As you can see, I was able to make potions, also was able to cross potions with line blasters to clear entire screen. Check second screenshot: after 7 moves (21 left) I have a potion, and then I made a second (note the green 5 under my first potion). I also attach my lineup, this was shoot after success.

For everybody, keep trying, this level is about luck only....

Sneak-peak to lvl 329 (perhaps I am the first man on earth who saw it ). Note that you have to unlock the upper two violet gem (with pals that are able to do it), unless you cannot fill the middle part with gems (and it is very hard to play only at the edges). The creature often attacks with locking your upper gems. Also, if you light up the two middle gem, it attacks 400 to the creature.

One more note to lvl 328: seems that Storm8 changed the level, from 24 steps to 28 now. (and the counter on the bombs start from 22) So it is easier to complete than it was yesterday.

[Anyuszko]

329 was a piece of cake (1 star only), now here is a sneakpeak of 330:

(Second monster is harder with 7k life points; I had only 1 life and failed to pass it)

I am really impressed! I was beginning to think this level was a programming error. The team I am using is similar to yours, same s****s, a bit different on colors, so at least I know I am on right track. Way to go on sticking with it!
