Fascinating game, and very, very beatable.

I don't understand the naysayers that say this game should be "redesigned" by the creators. What's the problem? Play the game! I'm 67 years old and have no problem playing from beginning to end without losing a single life.I would not change a single aspect if I were the creators of the game. Use your head, and it's do-able. Is it easy? Of course not! If it were, I would not waste my time playing.
I offer two areas of advice - usingyour bonuses wisely is common knowledge. You all know that, but that is advice number one. Number two is the double chains. ANYTIME you reach a level with double chains, exit the game - completely! When you come back to the game, the double chains will be single chains and the level will be VERY beatable. Try it. It works.

REALLY? I'm going to try that next time I come across double chains. Those are boogers!! The only time I've had luck with those is with the lighting bolts.. in COR, I have to have the shield or forget it. I'm up to Level 77 in Persia so far.. and it is SO much fun!!

It does not seem to work on a Mac.

The first level with double chains is 58, BTW.

i am stuck on level 99 i have used up 10 lives and only 2 left any good tips please i was reallly enjoying it up to now
i prefer cop to cor which i finished recently

There are several tricks to level 99. You will probably need at least the dynamite and preferably, dynamite, lightning and wand. Stay away from the center as much as possible in the beginning. Only match three tiles at a time initially. Make the game say "no moves left" so it will create moves for you. Sometimes, it will put the new moves in very good places. Do not use the bonuses until most of the board has been cleared and you are almost out of time and moves. The good news is you can start back at level 95 with most of your bonuses and three lives. Good luck.
