I too have been stuck on this level 550 . Very frustrating to say the least. One more thing I have to complain about, HOW do you get the bonus start up balls and stuff they show that you have to earn them ?? How I have NEVER gotten any bonus help from the pics at the top of the page . Only the bonus balls when ya hit both sides or something. Can anyone enlighten me? I wish that KING games would read the posts and do something to keep us al playing their games.
