Level 289

Level 289 is the fourteenth level in Candy Clouds and the 52nd candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 1 colour bomb and 150 orange and 150 purple candies and score at least 10,000 points in 45 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * The amount of icing and liquorice swirls make beginning the level very tedious. It is hard to clear them.

Strategy

 * Break through the icing as soon as possible. Try and destroy the liquorice swirls as you complete the objective to keep your board open for combinations.

Earning More Stars

 *  difficulty: Easy
 *  difficulty: Easy

Reason

 * The presence of four colours makes it easy to create special candies. However, it is not that useful till some of the blockers have been cleared.
 * The orders give 31,000 points (((150 + 150) regular candies × 100 points per regular candy) + (1 special candy × 1,000 points per special candy) = 31,000 points). Hence, an additional 44,000 points for two stars and an additional 84,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The starting available board space is limited and only has two quadrants, making it impossible to create a colour bomb.
 * There are plenty of five layer icings which require plenty of moves to clear them, reducing the number of moves available for sugar crush.
 * The liquorice swirls and the liquorice swirl dispenser compound the problem of clearing the blockers.
 * Once the five layer icings are cleared, special candies are easier to create as there are only four candy colours.
 * The need to collect a large number of orders with the amount of blockers present requires huge cascades and special candy combinations which in turn gives a huge amount of points.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few levels in which the player has to collect a huge amount of candies.
 * Completing the order gives the player enough points to meet the target score.
