Stars Level 747 help

[LunaMoon70]

Has anyone completed this level without assistance from lab powers or extra moves? I've depleted most of my usable power lab things, plus all of my coins (plus purchases) and I just can't seem to get through it. Plus I hate those bleeping butterflies. Any help would be muchly appreciated, thanks in advance 😊

I could not complete level 747 without powers.  Too many pesky butterflies - so, I used the Fluttergust power to drop them when they were about to escape.

Not sure how many times I did this, and I probably used a Star Swapper, placing it next to any Hypergem that appeared.

Scored 172,000.

Thanks for that. I thought that might be the case. I guess I'll just have to stock up on a heap of Fluttergusts. 🤣

Have you escaped yet?   
This level took me quite awhile as well. I used a couple of FlutterGusts, but being short of the yellow moon gems, ended up placing a few Flame Swappers near  groups of "beeping butterflies" (I agree and their fluttering actually bothers my eyes/brain) and then using a Detonator to explode them wiping out most, if not all, of them in one blast. I have more red, green, and white gems than yellow so this strategy worked better for me. Good luck! Perhaps you'll be stuck on 749 with me soon!

I finally escaped a couple of days ago. I ended up buying more coins and quickly made a few Fluttergusts and Flames and Detonators. Now I'm trying to deal with Level 748! But I'm determined I will clock it without (much) help 🤣
