How to unlock the Sky High achievement in Taptiles - Definitive Guide

Similar to the "Mix n Match" Daily Challenges (without the mixing part for losing your speed chain). You only need to beat each level with a minimum of 1 star to obtain the achievement.

For those trying for all 3 stars in each, I would put them somewhere between Hard and Expert, as compared to the Daily Challenges.

Some tips to help:

1. Watch the ad for the extra time. It's a 15 second ad for 30 extra seconds of game time. This can be the difference between a 2-star run and a 3-star.

2. Some of these boards are HUGE. Try not to fall into searching for 1 particular match, but rather looking over the board as a whole.

3. There were often matches I would prefer to make (for example, to free up a certain other piece), but had to settle for a different clear instead. The time wasted looking for the perfect match will cost you. ANY match is better than the PERFECT match. The board will shrink either way and become easier.

I was able to 3-star all 8 levels, however, #4 and #7 took me a couple tries. And for reference, I am able to complete all difficulties of the Daily Challenges, though the "expert" Mix n Match and Tap Towers do take me a couple of attempts occasionally.

EDIT: Just a note: This solution is based on my using a touchscreen.

Good Luck!

Did you do this with a touchscreen? I have been stuck on the 6th puzzle for ages, and can't even remotely get past it with a mouse.

Yes, with a touch screen. I'm sure its significantly harder just using a mouse

Thanks for the reply. Upvoted. You might want to add that tidbit in the solution though...

I just completed this using a mouse, so it is possible. Some of them took a couple of attempts.

Thanks kev, I'll give it another whirl then. I was even playing with the gf, so she could spot extra matches for me, but we kept failing on round 6.

I wonder how to beat that. I keep on saying to show ads, but it doesn't show any and this doesn't add the 30sec. I am in stage 3 and keep on being about 10-20sec short. The ad would beat it, but that's annoying... i have a touch screen and usually beat all daily challenges on first try, but i still wonder if maybe my technique is wrong...

It would occasionally do that to me as well. I would click show ad, it would spaz a moment, and then go straight to the game with no extra time. I was normally able to remedy this by closing out the game and relaunching

Keep at it! 4 was tough. You'll have good runs and bad. But as you learn the boards, you can get a feel for when to just spin it, even if you haven't yet run out of matches.

After I posted this I barely beat 4, then I made quick progress to 7. Hopefully I'll have 7 and 8 done soon and finish off this pack.

Thanks!

3 is literally fucking impossible on a mouse/keyboard, jesus christ. I barely have a minute left by the final puzzle, despite doing it upward of 10 times now.

Fuck everything about the way this game was designed for one input method.

I gave up on this, too frustrating with a mouse and the ad to get 30 seconds never plays. I got to the point where I was asking myself why I was bothering... couldn't find a good answer so just deleted the game and I think this is a solution for a happier life.

For those trying it on PC with a mouse, take a screenshot and quickly pause the game. Now you can analise the screenshot without the tension of wasting time. Spot the best matches and go back to the game. I did this to finally beat level 3 after so many failed attempts

I may have to do this even with a surface.

No problems with this game until I hit level 7 in this pack. After 6 years of failed attempts of not even getting close I finally cracked it. Done on a tablet with an extra pair of eyes and hands. And when we did it we had 1m45s left = 2 stars.
