Colour Bomb (special candy)

A colour bomb is one of the main special candies in the game. They are a chocolate ball with little coloured candies stuck it. They are formed by matching five of the same colour candy in a line. When formed, they give you 200 points.

When they are mixed with a candy, all of that colour on the board will be detonated, and following an update they give lots of points when used.

This special candy is generally quite weak on its own considering how hard they are to make, but when mixed with other special candies, they can create some very big effects.

Mixing with special candies
The colour bombs are very good if you can mix them with other special candies and can create some very useful effects.

Colour bomb + Striped Candy
Turns every candy of the colour of the striped candy into a striped candy then detonates them all.

Colour bomb + Wrapped Candy
Detonates every candy of the colour of the wrapped candy on the board, then detonates a second colour at random. In effect this combonation detonates two colours.

Colour bomb + Colour bomb
Detonates every candy on the screen and licourice swirl blockers, but doesn't affect meringues.

Colour bomb + Jelly Fish

Colour bomb + Coconut Wheel
Unknown. If you know this effect add it in.
