This level is currently nearly impossible to beat without boosters (or even with boosters). This is likely caused by a level buff, lack of moves, an objective which requires insane luck to fulfill, a level glitch, or a design error. This level is currently, or likely one of the hardest levels of the game.
Level 290 is the fifteenth and last level in Candy Clouds and the 107th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 81 double jelly squares in 25 moves or fewer.
When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
25 moves may not be enough to clear a 9x9 board full of double jellies, especially with five colours.
Two-thirds of the frosting squares are locked.
Horizontal striped candycannons can help clear some frosting layers and their locks protecting them, but it is simply not enough to clear five layers of frosting and the jellies underneath them.
