Tips for "Teens are keen" achievement

[Barkaya]

I can't get even to 12-13 chain because organizing groups of brown bubbles for chaining takes too much moves while pseudo-helper fish creates too much additional a-bit-too-big bubbles and then critters come and blow up most of them thus ruining yet another attempt at getting 15+ bubble chain.

[studenman]

This is a tough achievement. I would not use brown because the bubbles will get too big (brown requires 3 colors). Try to make islands of 3 using a single primary color and use the other primary colors to make matches elsewhere or to recolor a bubble that Bloop blows that might cause one of your islands to deflate. Good luck and let me know if you need more help.

NOTE: There's a bug with this achievement that will be fixed in the next update. So even if you make a 15-long chain, the achievement may not be awarded. I will follow up when that's released.

Any info on ETA for this patch?

Thanks for the question - I'm hoping to get this out before the end of June.

I agree with the method of not using the color brown...but I find this achievement far too hard to get...I think I got like 12 one time? but it takes too much space and you have to make sure 4 bubbles aren't touching also while assuring you aren't falling outside the zone in which all your bubbles will be destroyed (which has constantly happened to me while trying to get the achievement)...I've gotten all other achievements in the game except wild 5 and this one - both of which I believe are pretty much impossible and involve too much luck

For "5 wilds chain" play levels "Twisted Friendship" (green Arcade zone) and "Squidly" (orange Arcade zone). Restart until you'll get "Bonus wild move" as selected powerup, then try and retry until you'll get 4 wilds that can be connected (fast) with that "wild" powerup.
Agree that "15+ chain in Infinity mode" is way too luck based, Infinity could use some tweaking (bigger "play" zone, smaller bubbles inflation while adding colors or something else) or achievement could be changed to "12+ chain in Infinity mode".

is almost impossible to pull out since chain deflation starts immediately once Bloop adds matching color bubble.

Thanks for passing along some great tips Barkaya. You all are correct that this is a very difficult achievement to get, but it's definitely possible. Requires some deep skill and mastery of the game. User y2kmp3 has completed all achievements in this forum thread, which if you go to previous pages, you can read the discussion with some tips for solving it.

Got a 15 chain a few minutes ago and the achievement worked fine. I made clusters of 3 oranges and had red / yellow neighbor bubbles for them, then some counting, luck, speed and timing to get it all done. You can chill in pause menu while planning your moves, even if the bubbles go little beyond play area and are at a risk. You should have decent amount of moves and thought out playfield before committing to the chain too

Congrats @sp1nz, it's a huge accomplishment to get a chain of 15!
