Those are informative.  I think I'd have to put a maximum $ on any game I created, though, or I'd just feel like I was robbing people. Or, like I was a crack dealer.


All the best games are easy to learn and difficult to master. They should reward the first quarter and the hundredth.

This is level 56ish, where it no longer is fun. The little squares of chocolate spread like cockroaches one square by one square every time you do no eliminate them all. In addition, you have to get rid of all the 'jelly' squares within the allotted number of moves. Underneath the black licorice x-ed boxes are the jellies and the jellies are two deep, meaning you must pop them twice before they go away.

Sure, this level sucks ... but the next one might be the best-ever.

And for the low, low price of $3.99, it can be yours.

OK, so I only have about 20 more levels of fun. Got it!  :haha:

I finally got past level 35 where you had to play the mystery quests to advance, if you weren't going to pay the fine, I mean, fee. You have to wait 24 hours after you win a Mystery quest to play another quest.

I worked on getting 3 stars on all 35 levels, cause I'm a competitive little nut. Now it will start all over again.....in Chocolate Mountain. I'm glad to be out of Lemonade Lake.

It's funny because it's true.

I'm stuck here.

NO! I am NOT doing that move!! Are you TRYING to destroy me?!

Funny.  I am closing in on Level 200. There was one level — the one with the 99 blue orders —  I was stuck on for a few months. I was so surprised when I actually beat the damn thing. Now I'm stuck on others.

Did you start the owl game? I wish I didn't cause there isn't anywhere to go but frustrated.

I play Titan Puzzle and a Solitare game when I'm done with lives. It's better that way.

The game is much easier with an Android phone, if that tells you anything.   :PSA:

Tink,
Is she missing on getting free lives or something?  So far she hasn't paid a penny and only uses the lives the game gives her daily.

I am fine. It's probably for the best. I shouldn't be using any of these gadgets with my bad shoulder right now.....but I have to!

There are a couple of hacked versions floating around for Android. You get something like 180 moves on each level and the bomb counter is set on 99. And often even that is not enough.

What's wrong with the shoulder? I think I might have to have rotator cuff surgery. It just is not getting any better.

Repeated use of not using laptop ergonomically along with regular computer mouse use and occasional XBox playing have just taken its toll. Get a lot of headaches and upper shoulder pain from stress, too. Going to see an ortho doc who has PT on site, to see what it actually is and about getting some relief.

Sorry your shoulder is not getting any better — It is frustrating, especially when you can't exactly STOP using your arm!
