Also, I have an idea for a new feature; the Sugar Shield.

The sugar shield can protect chosen candies during cascades, which is useful if you are trying to protect certain candies from being blown up because you need them for a candy order or for destroying a particular space on the board..

The sugar shield appears as a regular candy (any one of the 6 normal colours) with a silverish bubble around it. Matching this candy with other candies will grant the player the sugar shield.

Once you've got the sugar shield it will be displayed as a silver bubble on the left side of the board. To use it, click on the bubble and then click on the candies you want to protect. Once a candy has a shield around it nothing can damage it, if there's a jelly space below the jelly will be destroyed but not the shielded candy and special candy effects can go through the shield to rreach spaces beyond without damaging the candy. However, after al cascades have occured the shields protecting the candies will disappear.

You can protect up to 5 candies a time and the sugar shield can be used 3 times (though only once per move), afterwards the shield will disappear. Sugar shields can be found on the board, in marmalade, in locks or in chests. Note that the shield will be silver if it is around a candy that you need to destroy in order to gain the shield and gold if it is protecting candies that the player has selected to protect. The sugar shield is officially introduced in the level 1200s but makes an unoffical debut in the nerfed version of level 1180 where it's extremely useful.
