Yeah, this is rather frustrating. The limiters tend to screw you over. Especially when you NEVER get the shape/colors you need. Not expecting this game to be a cakewalk, but some of the levels deliberately walk you into losing.
I know it's already been said, but could really use a retry or checkpoint feature. Starting over from scratch is pretty impossible.

I do like this game but it REALLY needs a save feature! Having to go back to level 1 every time is extremely frustrating! I cannot see anyone having the patience to get to level 30 at that rate!

I'm surprised at how this game is rated so highly for being a puzzle game, when really it's just a luck game that requires you to get lucky instead of playing well. Without checkpoints, this game is extremely tedious and honestly awful. It's awful mainly in part by the game not giving you a specific tile during a level that you need, requiring you to have a joker/bomb or other variety to complete the level. Thus, this makes them not bonuses but requirements that you need to acquire early on if you want to beat the game. After finally getting the achievement, all I can say is what everyone else says. Get around 5 jokers in the first 5 to 6 levels, and carry them through to the last segment. That's really the only tip you can get with this game, the only other one being to hope the game is nice to you and you get lucky, because that's the only thing that will let you beat any of the later levels without (and even sometimes with) bonuses. Good luck.

Just got the hard badge. There is a strategy, actually: accumulate in the first 8-10 levels one of these two combos in every level you can:
- every shape 4 times
- every colour 4 times
You would then start building bonuses that you will use in the last 15 levels. Good luck ;)

The thing I really don't get is despite all the negative comments, it still has an average rating of 3.44. I mean, really? This is better than the average game on the site?

finally got the badge! ... and it was a pain, too. here's a more detailed explanation of my comment; scoring those bonus combo things is crucial. be it you go for collecting 10 Lunas, or you go for 3 of each symbol and 3 of each color, or you go crazy with connecting the bonuses in stages,... just try to score something every level you get, cause you're bound to run into a level where luck isn't on your side. I suggest you almost never use tiles with same color as well as symbol, just try mixing it up and some bonus is bound to happen. good luck!

There should be a way to cancel a bonus tool if you accidentally click it or change your mind. This game has a lot of potential but is missing some basic usability.

I thought this game was pretty awesome. Gameplay is basically like UNO and Dominoes with pictures instead of numbers. This requires more brain cells than the usual "puzzle" style games without being complicated or relying on mouse skills.
Then I had to get back to my real life for a while, come back, and I have to start over?! Totally bogus.

I was having so much difficulty with this game, so I looked at the "Best" comments in the hopes of finding a useful strategy, or at least a helpful hint or two... Alas, no help for me... :(

I got to level 28 and had a bunch of extra tiles, a joker, blue bomb and at least 3 transforms, but i had to go to sleep. An update automatically restarted my computer ...

With no save this game is a bucket of balls. I didn't even notice I made a mistake one time and the other I just didn't get the right cards.

wow... 3/5 because of no save function and based on luck a bit. :(. this is a great game. and i think it deserves a 5/5 but with 30 levels based somewhat on luck and no save function?. :O. thats just kind of retarded.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is such garbage, most often the tile you lose from is one that has non-corresponding halves, its bullsh*t. with no save function the easy badge is NOT an easy badge, you get right to 1000 points and suddenly have to start ALL OVER AGAIN?!

This game is so totally dependent on random chance that I cannot in all conscience award it more than 2 out of 5. When you get the hang of which combinations sometimes give you extra power ups, you can get through the first ten levels or so without too much difficulty, but once it starts presenting you with specific colour and symbol combinations that then fail to appear among the random tiles it is game over. I once fluked my way to level 28. I am not going to waste any more time on it. Shame really, as it could be a really good game if it was based more on skill and less on luck. The fact that the hard badge is one of the oldest on Kong and less than 9000 have been awarded says everything.

For people struggling getting the badge of the day, try the time mode instead of the classic one, try to rush 3-4 levels as fast as you can, and you should get really good scores. at least it worked for me.

"Choose a slice to bomb" ... doesn't let you choose. blows up randomly without removing anything
This game is frustrating enough as it is, at least make the functionality do what it says it does.

I find it statistically impossible how often you see a tile with what you need, but in opposing position. Not enough switch bonuses I guess.

I hate this game - and I'm only playing it for the achievement. Random doesn't begin to describe it. At the start of most of the levels, it advertises ideal configurations. When you hit one does it reward you? Nah. Feel good inside instead. The hazing transparency when you cast an extra deal is annoying to. "I'm doing you a favour you know and you're in trouble". And automatically killing you for putting the last tile in wrong rather than stopping you and giving you "a give up" option instead.

Must have played this game 1000 times since I first joined Kong years ago, and still haven't gotten past 28. Possibly the hardest hard badge here. At least it's the hardest luck based one anyway. If you can't get a few jokers from the first few levels restart and try again, because you will need them later.

This is horrible game. A few levels, I could not get right symbol max or color after all the deals and bonus, still nothing. So many combos on tiles and ring makes it hard to do at times with color only and tile only triangles. I was level 8 or something and got 2 different symbol locks and color on the ring.

Got to a level, needed three right half red pieces. I got two with all my deals, and using like 7 extra bonus token things. Its insane that no matter what I did, I lose, and that I would have to start over. This is the oldest badge I don't have, and I suppose it'll stay that way.
