I thought the game actually got easier towards the end. There were so many bombs that if you clicked on one or two, they would clear up the entire screen. If that doesn't work, just replay the level and try again. It may have been better to localize the effects of the bomb, for example, within a 2 or 3 block radius.
I also suffered the same problem as Casaric. Some treasures were hidden, even with the hint.
