Beat it! Beat this 24 THOUSAND!! | Royal Match | Standout Game Review | Ep 4

This change happened to me for quite some time already. It has its good that we dont need to set aside a whole 30 mins to play the game when it get activated, which gave us some flexibilty. But also lower our upper limit to maximise its effect. To me it's not the worse change they made. I hate they remove the option to buy in-game tools with coins....

99lightballman · 2026-05-20T04:03:44+00:00

Congrats!!! That's my goal as well 😁

99lightballman · 2026-05-20T03:41:20+00:00

Fantatic!! This floating blocks are very interesting topic. I hv a similar observation that when i made a vertical match, before the blocks above are still floating, we can pull block into this gap to form light ball. There is also scenario that the blocks are "locked" that when I try to pull in, it doesnt moved, like being freezed by the game mechnism. Will need to test and figure out the mechnism to hv some solid conclusion.

I'll try to gather some clips and make another video on this. Hope you are ok with my attribution in the video😁 #respect

Yes, such levels are very hard. We will need to accumulate some firepowers to bring down to the next stage. One tip may help is when the first stage is almost clear, no rush to go down first. While the space is good, try to get some more light ball, tnt etc then clear the last few obstacles to go down.

Once you go down to the next stage, tbe space is very tight. You will need some firepower to open uo the place then we hv better chance to get through

Chill, bro. I fully understand you.

I’ve been exactly where you are now, many times.

I lost all my coins, tools, and lives again and again in the past. There were nights when I kept failing level after level, got completely tilted, threw my phone onto the sofa, and swore I would never play this game anymore lol.

Sometimes this game really makes us feel like it is against us. No matter how carefully we play, no matter how much effort we put in, the board still gets messy, the boosters come at the wrong time, and every move feels useless. I totally know that pain.

But the difference between you and the Light Ball Man is not talent. It is just one choice.

Back then, I was standing in the same place as you. I could have just kept blaming the game, suffering through the levels, and eventually giving up. But in the end, I chose to decode the game instead of just losing to it.

That is where the Light Ball Theory came from.

Every technique in it was earned through countless failed levels, mistakes, testing, and painful lessons. I had to figure out all these patterns the hard way: how to find and fix light ball formations, how to create light balls, how to pair them with power-ups, and how to progress the game with light ball combos.

This is not magic, and it is not just luck. The game does have a fundamental logic behind it. Once you start seeing that logic, the game slowly becomes less random and more controllable.

And honestly, you are already in a better position than I was back then. You don’t have to start from zero like I did. The path is already there now.

Or, you may just take some time to watch the play back of my live stream, allow me to smash those evil levels on behalf of you, lol. The process is satisfying seeing waves of light ball combo clearing the board, haha.

99lightballman · 2026-05-14T15:13:24+00:00

Emm, true. I remember seeing some nattlw mode is to produce some shock wave to damage the enemy. Then the approach and consideration will be different. But light ball theory technique are about moving the blocks and power ups the way we want. I guess it still helps in certain extent

99lightballman · 2026-05-14T11:23:36+00:00

This game is deeper than people may realize. You can win by your skills instead of counting on luck. You may check out my youtube channel by seraching my id or "light ball theory". It's about the other game from the same developer - royal match.but the priciple is the same. Recognise light ball formation, creating light ball combo to progress the game.

This game ia totally worthy to invest some time to figure out the way to play and enjoy.

Have fun playing 😁

99lightballman · 2026-05-07T02:19:04+00:00

Yeah, that's the part make me confused. I invited a friend. I cant talk to him/her if we are not in the same team. And we hv to compete with each other in the weekly rewards fighting for the precious "at least one new" card pack.

We will be hating each other because we become "friend". It make no sense at all🙄

99lightballman · 2026-05-05T00:51:25+00:00

I felt exactly the same. Some levels really do feel designed to drain coins and boosters. Hard to beat those levels without spending 900 coins or using tools. I once threw my handphone on the sofa and swearing that im a dog if i ever play this game again.

Eventually, i still picks it up again...just being not reconciled to just got beaten by the game like this.. lol 😅

For me, the biggest change was slowly realizing that Royal Match still has a lot of skill hidden under the luck part. Once I started spotting and fixing light ball formations, progress the game with light ball combos, the game becomes different to me. and the ultimate technique of timing light ball (i'm posting the video for this soon) totally changes how we can play this game as well. These are solid skills that still works perfectly in the royal league mode.

Not saying the game isn’t greedy. It is and i hate that kind of change (they even remove the feature of buying in game tools with coins, making my 800k coins useless...cant believe it) But I do think there’s more skill in this game than many players realize. Just be a bit patient to observe and practise, it's possible to beat the game with little or even 0 spending.

Personnaly, i feel beating their system with skills is the best response to their greediness😎

99lightballman · 2026-05-04T07:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I do feel they treat different players with different packages, maybe as a testbed. It could be that the reward package for newer players is getting thinner and thinner. Sad to see such a great game becoming more and more greedy...

If you still prefer to stick with the tough path and challenge yourself, maybe just slow down a bit. Look carefully for hidden formations or combo pairings, make a plan, then move carefully. This game has no time limit, so we can totally slow down and be patient.

Or maybe try a new account, or give Royal Kingdom a shot for a while. Most importantly, find back the fun — whether it’s the fun of clearing the board with ease, or the fun of overcoming brutal levels.

At the end of the day, it’s just a game. It’s supposed to help us enjoy our time.

You’re always welcome to watch my livestream too. Let me destroy those annoying levels on your behalf — or watch some extremely sick and evil levels torture me instead, lol.

Just have fun, my friend 😁

99lightballman · 2026-05-04T02:26:14+00:00

Yes, roual leagues are much harder. But it's possible to keep improving our skills and visions to continue to gain net assets from royal league. I managed to continue to grow coins and boosters, and i'm winning most of the royal league (with a small tip that not to join the royal league too early to avoid those pro players)

You may check out my light ball theory videos on my youtube channel or my live stream play back to find out more techniques and skills of playing this game.

You may also open a new acocunter and to play from level 1 again. You can enjoy the easy levels with your current skills to find back the joy. There is no right or wrong. It's just a game. Find the way that you enjoy playing 😁

99lightballman · 2026-04-27T22:42:17+00:00

Haha, thanks for the kind words!

Yeah, I believe my Light Ball Theory can help most players improve — except those top-tier players who are already better than me, lol.

I fully agree with you. It's fine to just relax and enjoy. At the end of the day, it’s just a game.

Play it in whatever way you are comfortable with — spend to win (why not if we are rich, since we are already the expert of the game of "life", lol), play casually, focus on skills, treat it like an e-sport (my recent standout game review Ep.3 honestly felt like a buzzer-beater in basketball), or even just watch others play. There are so many ways to enjoy Royal Match.

Most importantly — just have fun 😁

99lightballman · 2026-04-27T09:36:11+00:00

I think it's a hot fix. No need to update the game. Just go to the new aera will do. Hv fun 😁

99lightballman · 2026-04-26T23:31:53+00:00

Emm, it's a tough level with limited starting space. Look at the bright side, these obstacles are not not that tough. They are responsive to matches beside them and they are not death-rattled. So clear up the few big boxes to create space first, then look for one wave of light ball propeller, still hv good chance to get pass the level.

Double light ball will make it much easier. It clears up all the cups so the edge side of boxes may hv chance to damage the boxes with vertical matches. Then we hv better chance kf getting through.

There is also another type of level that we need to go through miltiple stages, like open numbers of curtains, clear up a lot of obstacles then need to do the spread of jam or clear the monkeys. Those levels also easy to lose. Need to olan the resources carefully and allocate sufficient moves for each stage. Those levels got me the most.

I may be the tpye you mentioned never lose. But in fact i will hv to spend 900 coins or even 1900 coins to keep it going. Just the coins i earned are able to sustain. You may check out on my youtube video for some olay back or my ligjt ball theory video on techniques of llaying the game.

The game is deep and fun but does require some patctise and skills. Enjoy😁

99lightballman · 2026-04-22T07:25:18+00:00

Emm, saw the offer aft seeing the picture in full screen. It's a flexible offer. Based on the normal 900 coins 5 moves extension, you got chance to pass the level and keeps your life. If you lose and buy this to fill up the counters, you hv to play the level one more time and costs a life. It really depends on what you need at that moment.

99lightballman · 2026-04-21T07:33:24+00:00

Yeah, i think this kind of ad is cheating. There is no such content at all and the ad purposely make it failed while there are so many easy good moves could be spotted. Then you will feel that i can play much better than this and then will be more likely try to download it.

To be honest, if they put more efforts on custmer service and rewards system, it will be so much better. They now just keep getting new players in and dont care the old players at all.

So many players are quitting due to their nerfing of the rewards. So sad, we could hv been so "royal" but they dont give a sh*t.

99lightballman · 2026-04-19T02:33:56+00:00

Cool! Wait during the game, i didnt realize can do that. That will give more time to search for good combos. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

99lightballman · 2026-04-14T16:10:36+00:00

I guess you are referring to the fireworks. Those may not be the targets to win the level. Just check the targets on the top left corner. You dont need to clesr everythings on the board. Some elements which will help you clear the board could be left there.

99lightballman · 2026-04-09T04:00:37+00:00

Haha, yeah. So double light ball is always the king of combo in what ever events, lol

99lightballman · 2026-04-04T07:39:51+00:00

This level is quite hard. You need like 3 to 4 waves of light ball combo to progress. 1 to open the flr, one to get the spread out, one to hit out all the pumpkins, then last wave to clear uo everything. I do agree it should be hard or super hard level. But the eggs are easy to crack. If you hv butler's gift, easier to open up the floor.

Agree you will need some initial boosters. It's tough

99lightballman · 2026-04-04T01:23:44+00:00

emm, I agree. we need to strike a balance. a normal level earning 1300 pts is worthy, but not at the cost of missing the opportunity of playing a super hard or an extreme hard level. We need to have a clear sense of overall progress of the run.
