I don't understand how you are meant to get the power-ups? Sometimes I put in a rubbish ring and get loads, sometimes I put in a great ring and only get points??

At level 14 the only way I could win was with a double terra... 5 powerups later and game over. The quit game button is for when you finally realize this game is unwinnable.

I don't really get how the system with the special bonuses works; The game tells me I get them by doing special sets, but only rarely when the game tells me I have created a special set, do I really get a special bonus.

My advice: go for as many Joker as possible in your first few rounds. In earlier stages with few limiters, I suggest going for the 4 of each colour combo. In later levels with 3~4 limiters, ALWAYS go for limiters that stick together and specific first (e.g. Stella/Luna > Stella/Same Symbol). The trick is to settle the limiter early and place the rest with 4 of each colour/symbol in mind. In case you're stuck in the last piece, 'sacrifice' your joker to win and obtain it back (e.g. You have 3Red/3Blue/4Yellow/4Green. Maybe the last piece is limited to Stella/Lunar; don't bother to deal/extra deck until you get it. Just find a Red/Blue tile, Joker it, and win the game. You'll 'regain' the Joker from the combo and you won't waste extra decks.) In super late game, deal and extra decks until you can go for specific limiter. Keep your Joker/Bomb/Change Symbol/Colour for end game purpose (e.g. to combo or it's the last level). Hope you all understand and good luck in hunting the badge :D.

Color Quadruples Harmony (four of each color in the ring) gives you 9 tiles and a joker. If you can manage to get those ever other stage or so, you should have a pretty nice inventory to get into the harder stages. Yet I still haven't gotten the hard badge.

2 things would make this game 5/5
1) a SAVE or chakpoint sytem
2) the ability to 'trash' a tile already played in the circle
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The game starts out fairly enjoyable and quite relaxing. However, by the time you get half-way done, you start to need to have half of the circle be specific colors/symbols. It's not okay to have that much pressure on the player to get lucky with their draws, especially when there is no saving. This game has a lot of potential, but the fact that you can get through the entire game, lose on the last level, and have to start all the way from the beginning just because you are unlucky has a huge negative effect on the fun that can be had from playing this.

I do like this game but I agree with the other comments about having a save option so when you lose a level you don't have to start from the beginning again.

This actually would be an awesome game, if only someone would have liked to change some little issues.. save function, checkpoints - please Kongregate someone fix this!

After 2 hours suffering on the 'Relaxed Mode', not achieving 1000 points... I jus tried the other mode... got 4196 on the first try. -_________-

I apologize that people are finding the easy badge so frustrating. I love this game and remember that it took me ages to get the hard badge (I disagree with the idea that it's all luck, though, in fact, my husband once made spreadsheet of which combos got the best bonuses, it's all about earning the best stock of bonus tools in the easy rounds for when you need them later).

This game is just shy of five years old. It has over one million plays. In that time, in all those plays, there have been less than 10,000 people to get this impossible Hard badge. If you have beaten this game, or you do beat this game in the future, you have won Kongregate. It doesn't matter if you are a level 1 account that has played no game other than this one, or if you are a level 65 account that has played at this site since its inception. If you beat this game, you win.

I do not get how this is a hard badge. I have seen hard badges that pale in comparison to this. The luck factor that comes with this, combined with not even being allowed to fail once or you start over. To me this sound like an impossible badge.

I used 10 bonuses at one level, and thoughout the whole level, the sol/luna-card I needed didn't show up once. It was actually impossible to solve! How do you deal with that if you manage to get all the way towards the end!? Ridiculous.

Easy badge? I'd call that medium...
Relaxed mode? yeah right! Took me ten tries to get past level one. Tiles should be able to swap with other tiles.

@Veteran_Grandpa Anyone would have down voted your comment, since that comment was inappropriate and insulting. The comments section is NOT used to harass other users.

Even if you can't save, I'd like to have more freedom in repositioning tiles. I just came across a level where I see a way to rearrange tiles while keeping the limits satisfied, except I can't because I can only move 1 tile at a time, which means that I can't move what I want to because the individual moves don't fit the limits, even though the end result would.

Judging by the low scores on the scoreboard, it seems a lot of people still misunderstand both the Symbol and Color Quadruple Harmony bonus. With those bonuses, all you need is four symbols of each symbol or four colors of each color in ANY order, they don't need to be grouped together by symbol or color but they do need to fit logically. Also, if you're aiming for a bonus and have the tiles needed for the bonus you're aiming for but they won't fit logically, you can use joker cards on the required tiles you need to put down (Use one joker card for a bonus that yields +1 joker card and vice versa, be smart about it). For the first ten levels, you should aim for at least six or seven Symbol/Color Quadruple Harmony bonuses. If you can't get a Color or Symbol Quad bonus on the first level without using an Extra Deal! card, start over. Remember, this game is mostly luck but with bonuses, you gain an edge. Good luck.

Just keep restarting until you get 4 of every colour and symbol on the first level. Then hoard your power ups, only using them to get more or when you are stuck with NO other options.

Be generous with your free deals early levels, and feel free to use a few redeals (you tend to get them quite often), just leave your slice removers, jokers, and tile changing cards for later levels. Later on you need to get REALLY specific tiles down, and so once you've placed them, you won't need to use the tile removers.
Sometimes you'll need REALLY specific tiles, like double yellows or luna/terra etc., so having a joker or a card that can change colors can be a life saver. I only won the last level because I had 2 sol changing cards so I could fit an extra tile in!
The game requires SOME luck, but there IS a tactic to it!

woah woah wait... I beat a level, then I lose, so I go back to the beginning!?!? considering this game is highly dependent upon luck, that's a terrible feature of the game! one star, horrendous

In truth the concept is pretty good but......30 levels without a single mistake and solely based off of luck of the draw is pretty messed up. I can't even give it a 2/5 because of lack of playability.....so sadly I must give it a 1/5. Was really looking forward to playing this too.

Got to level 27, THOUGHT I beat the level only but it says "Game Over" I panic, check over my work, and realize that the only connection that DOESN'T have a limiter is incorrect! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
