last level

I have managed to get to the very last level last goal to conquer the game with as many as 4 lives but i just cannot figure out how you finish the game. I have tried so many times its unreal. I have gone every way possiblet hat i can think of and its not worked out its so frustrating. to get to the final hurdle and then go back to zilch is unbelievable I have bought numerous games and always managed to finish the game but not this one. big fish should give everyone a free updated version so we can realistically achieve the goal.

welcome to the pond! you should try customer support. just press the "help" button in the top right of the screen.

It's been a long time since I played this game but I do know that I finished it a couple of times so it is winnable.

The one thing I do remember is that you need to save up a lot of the power up items. Especially the one that moves things over a square and the one that gives you extra time (I think that's one). Also to start to work the far left items over Immediately.

Also I think it's this game, that when you are about to run out of time/lose a life you exit the game and you won't lose a life. It does start you over but if you lose a life it starts you over anyway.

So the biggest tip is to collect all the powerups available on every level and save them as much as possible for the last level. That was the only way I was able to finish it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck.

I finally - and I do mean finally finished! Yeah!!! Just wish there'd been a bit of a fanfare at the end - figure I deserved it I love this game and I can (and have) played it for hours on end.
The trick to finishing it is to have as many power ups as possible when you get to the final board. I had 16 timers, 3 hammers and 6 spades. I think I also had a couple of lamps. Having plenty of extra lives helps too - I had 18. As soon as you start the final board, start to move the pieces to the right as soon as possible, but do them one at a time if you can - it gets really hard if they're all bunched up together. Once I moved a piece far enough to the right that I could then just drop it down I'd bring the next piece along. It takes patience and lots and lots of practice.
I've decided to replay the game from the beginning on many occassions just so I can build up my power ups, but - if you decide to do this - pay extra attention to the boards that have pieces that you need to move across before you can start dropping them down. If you can get good enough with these earlier boards, the final board is easier.
Just stick with it - it's a great game and very rewarding. Can anyone suggest another match 3 game of this calibre?

Hang in there. My wife and I tried everything as well, even tag teaming the darn game. I just finished it! It took us over two weeks and a zillion attemps but it is done! Just keep trying and clear the board of tools before you attempt to bring the pieces forward. That gives you more options to move tiles. Good Luck and DO NOT GIVE UP!

Hi Just want thank everybody for the tips on finishing the last level i have decided to start again and build up as many power ups as I can, must admit the game gets easier the more times I restart(except the last) and I will persevere like the rest of you. thanks again.

Also to start to work the far left items over Immediately. Saving them up doesn't really help if you lose them when you can't finish one of the sublevels so you go back to the beginning of the level again.

Also I think it's this game, that when you are about to run out of time/lose a life you exit the game and you won't lose a life. It does start you over but if you lose a life it starts you over anyway. You are obviously thinking of some other game because this doesn't work. In fact, sometimes if you quit (save and exit) after the clock has started ticking, the game completely wipes out one life as soon as you go back into that level.

So the biggest tip is to collect all the powerups available on every level and save them as much as possible for the last level. That was the only way I was able to finish it.
