Shanghai 79 is impossible. They say they test these new levels. They have 25 people try and if one wins in 10,000 attempts, it's good to go!

So what kind of strategy do I use on this level? In four tries all I could muster was 18,000 when 30,000 is needed. One of them only got me 8000.

I bought some lightning bolts and then got lucky and beat it.

Now how about the Local at 76? lol

Is this the only way to get enough green gems? I've tried 7 times so far and can't even get close. Seems impossible.

Frustratration sans fun

I beat the second level. On the third I spent 330 coins for a 3 pack of lightning bolts which is 3 per game. I used them all up in all three lives and the best I did was 30, 000 points short again. Either remove the paper and chains or get rid of one color. Frustrating is not fun!

The key word is LUCK. Nothing's more annoying than matching threes until you run out of moves and you are 30,000 points short. And that was with three lightning bolts! Watching paint dry is this much fun!!
