Fishdom: Level 3 in a row

How to play Fishdom levels? You need to complete one or more level goals. They are shown before the start of the level, and then displayed at the top or left of the screen, depending on the device on which you are playing.Pay attention to the goals in order to correctly build a strategy for passing. Complete tasks by creating combinations of three or more chips of the same color.

Often on the field there are obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals. Change tactics depending on the properties of each of them. Each level is given a certain number of moves that should be enough to complete the game. Some levels pass in a limited time mode. At the time of the first move, the game timer starts. If before the time expires you do not have time to complete all the tasks, the level will be played.

Why play match-3? For each level you complete, you get gold coins. Use them to equip aquariums. Buying most jewelry and fish requires passing match-3 levels.

Can I play the level I completed again? Unfortunately, it’s impossible to play the level once again.

I just can’t pass the level. What can be done? Some match-3 levels in Fishdom are quite complex, but each one can be completed. However, if you want to make your game easier, you can use boosters to help you eliminate obstacles on the field, or buy additional moves or time to extend the game.

Tips for completing levels. When passing levels do not forget about the following:

• First of all, take your time to inspect the playing field and plan your first moves instead of making them at random (if the level is not for the time being).
• Do not constantly make the moves that the game tells you, as they are not necessarily correct. Use the tips only if you do not see other combinations.
• Try to make combinations as low as possible on the playing field. Usually this leads to the fact that the chips begin to actively fall from the top of the field and automatic combinations appear.
• Closely monitor the situation on the playing field: it is important not to miss a single opportunity to create a bonus!
• Try to collect several bonuses close to each other and blow them up in one go. This will help free up more space and charge the lightning faster.
• If you are lucky, you can make a combination of two lightnings, which will lead to a big explosion, which will instantly clear the whole field.

Tips for completing levels on time. Some levels are really difficult to pass - but possible. The main thing is to choose the right strategy for passing and not give up. Here are some general tips:

• Do not hurry! The timer is activated only with the first combination. First, evaluate the situation on the field, study the goals and plan the next moves.
• Try to forget about time and not be distracted by the timer - just concentrate on the field!
• Mentally divide the field into sectors and switch between them: after the combination on the left, do not wait for the chips to stop - immediately make the combination on the right.
• Identify hard-to-reach cells with level goals and do not miss the chance to make combinations with them. Hard-to-reach cells can be, for example, gold nuggets in the corners and along the edges of the field.

I want to continue the game, but the levels are over. Developers try to add new levels to the game as often as possible. Follow the messages on the official page of the game on Facebook, so as not to miss the continuation.For those who have completed all levels, the "Key to Victory" mode works. Complete levels of increased difficulty and collect keys to open locks on a chest and get treasures.

I think there is a mistake at the level. What to do? If you think that there is a mistake at the level, you should try the following:

• Reboot the device and enter the game again.
• Check for updates to the game.

If after all the actions the problem at the level still persists, contact technical support. Whenever possible, include the following information with your message:

1. What exactly is the problem and what exactly is happening in the game?
2. What actions cause the problem?
3. When was the problem first noticed (after updating the game, reinstalling the game, etc.)?
4. Screenshot of the problem at the level.

Passing levels on the first try. Starting at level 19, you can get rewards by completing levels on the first try.To do this, play the usual levels and try to pass them without losing lives. If you run out of moves, you can buy additional ones - this will not affect the award, in case of victory you will still receive your prize. If you still lose, do not despair: you can try again at the next level.

You can get a reward only for completing the usual levels. Levels from the events of the "Shipwreck", "Into the depths" and others do not count.
