Colour Bomb (special candy)


 * This page is about special candy. For the booster, see Colour Bomb (booster).

A colour bomb is one of the main special candies in the game. It is a chocolate ball with little coloured candies stuck to it. They are formed by matching five of the same colour candy in a row or column. 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 it is to make, but when mixed with other special candies, it can create some very big and useful effects.

Not to be confused with the Candy Bomb, which is a bad type of candy.

This also exists as a booster, and the booster is introduced in level 13. When activated, you start the game with one Colour Bomb on the screen.

ThCAX1O04L.jpgr 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. It also creates a different sound than when the colour bomb is detonated alone.

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

Colour bomb + Jelly Fish
Makes three fish swim out as normal, and where the three fish eat creates another three fish, therefore creating twelve fish in total.

Colour bomb + Coconut Wheel
The Colour Bomb explodes. The coconut wheel will scroll in whatever direction is made and makes a full line of vertical striped candies if scrolling left or right, or horizontal striped candies if scrolling up or down. Every candy scrolled past is turned into striped candies.

Trivia

 * Level 202 starts with 19 colour bombs on the board.
 * The colour bomb is inspired by Australian candy - they are called "chocolate freckles"
 * Many fans of the game have created their own colour bombs in real life.
 * When a colour bomb is created, it makes a sound similar to that of the start of a level.
 * Combining a colour bomb with a wrapped or regular candy (options that clear less of the board) scores significantly more points in the iOS version than with a striped candy or another colour bomb
