Candy Bash-please help me for lev. 30

[dragonbird]

I've searched a lot of threads on this topic, but all of the ones I am seeing are "closed" so I felt I had to start a new thread (I hate doing that).

I have been trying to win a Candy Bash trophy for a while now (I'm almost embarassed to put how much time I've spent at this seemingly impossible feat-I'm NOT an olympic pinata burster) to no avail. I can win Gumball Trophies (With my gumball in my sombrero my trophy is never too far away) with ease, but for some reason this one is proving to be near to impossible for me (I think I need a bigger sombero).

I've figured out that you need to only concentrate on the bean-only getting nearby candy and other items so that you don't get distracted (No candy for Pancho).

I've also found it helpful to start at the sides of the upper levels since the candy goes so far down that it is hard to follow the bean quick enough-I let the bean go diagnal to get the side candy and work my way towards the center.

I can make it to level 30 and cannot seem to BEAT IT!!! If anyone has any suggestions other than the few things I've figured out and posted here I would greatly appreciate it.

The only other thing I do is If I do not have several extra beans built up by the last couple of levels, I just start over. I always seem to burn beans on level 30!

I've quit sometimes too in the early levels if I mess up because I know I'll be doomed by level 30-the final straw for me was yesterday I got to level 30, and had 8 beans and STILL lost. I did that on the turnament area. I wasn't as bummed though because with such a high score I figured I'd still get that extra fifty bucks. When I saw someone BEAT me I figured it was time to ask for some pointers.

Thanks for the advice! If you (or anyone else) thinks of more I'm all ears! Also thank you for the "burning beans" comment. I think I'll use that one in my real life...hehe!

Ahhhh! 8 beans left! I would have pulled my fur out! This game is especially grueling because you are on it about an hour each try! At least with Cash cow or Booger, You work the first 6 levels or so and If you don't get a trophy, you just re-start!

[dragonbird]

Yes, it was quite aggrivating. Don't even get me started on Booger-at least he's aptly named

I keep hoping someone will be willing to just trade the Candy Bash trophy for a Gumball Trophy in the trading rooms-but so far no luck. It's not as fun if it isn't earned but at this point I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. Now excuse me while I franticaly try to get back on Webkinz so I can go play Candy Bash. So much for giving up.

hmm...Did anyone else notice a different thing that pancho says if you lose Candy Bash (ya, I lost AGAIN!) Today he said, "I cannot get my candy" in addition to "The gato got the best of me."

I wonder if they are adding different sounds with other games-since the Wheel of Wow also has that incredibly goofy voice saying "Wheel of Wow."
