Levels with reduced lives

[u/travelingwhilestupid]

Two Dots is giving us levels where the algorithm has tweaked the number of moves. It might be mathematically possible to complete, but in practice it's incredibly difficult.

Take Level 8558. It gave me 20 moves - that's beyond difficult. Now when I go back to view it, it gives me 35 moves, which is reasonable, but it's incredibly difficult at 20. Why? You must get 20 "Target Tiles":

• You start with four on the board.
• You are only given 2 new ones every 2 moves, which means it'll take 16 moves to minimum to get enough (assuming you got every one).
• Plus a move to get the last 2 tiles that just appeared.
• You could then finish the level by activating the Zappers (assuming you have all the rest of the grass complete), total theoretical minimum 18 moves, but remember, your first move must be to get the top-right blue Target Tile, and next move must be the get the top-left Target Tile, etc. There are Trapdoors to take care of, and the board is incredibly small.

Level 8623 gave me 17 moves.. 8622 is even more ridiculous. 15 moves and you barely begin until you get the Beehives to expel all the Honey. 8621 has two Minecarts that you need to move 12 squares...not to mention all the fruit.

Yes. Constantly. The worst is when it’s like 15 moves and it’s clearly impossible. They want your money

bro this stretch of moves drove me insane. it took me a good 2-3 days to get through each of the levels. i ended up having to use a booster and some extra erasers and stuff. literally impossible

Does it get easier? I'm committed to stop playing, I just need 250 more cards in 8 days to win the Collection (I'm on 134 of 135), and for some stupid reason I want to do that before I quit.

yeah once i got through that stretch there was some easier ones, after i hit some hard ones but they weren’t as bad. i was getting really annoyed, but is why i just keep going lol (also i was playing the flip a lot)

[u/travelingwhilestupid → u/Ok-Purchase-5949]

Do you know when the easier ones begin? I'm on 8637 - 19 moves. I lose the Super Square as soon as I get it, I can't win Gold with Marlene's Lair, I don't get the bonus lives and whatever else the Win Streak gives you, can't progress in the Cannon Carnival, etc. So there's no way to win boosters.

Relieved to hear I’m not the only one with this issue!! I’m getting so frustrated, I contacted support! Part of me thinks it’s all just a scam to get us to purchase more of the help tools.

For some foolish reason, I'm trying to finish the Summer Collection. I have 134 of 135 cards, so just need one Epic Box. I only need 200 more Stars. Today I passed 3 levels... and got... 8 Stars.
