Level 121

Level 121 is the eleventh level in Peppermint Palace and the eleventh timed level. To pass this level, you must score least 50,000 points within 90 seconds. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * It can be hard to deal with the candy bomb in the center of the board, because it is surrounded by two-layer icings and protected from striped candies by liquorice swirls.
 * A candy bomb is spawned at every four matches.
 * The bottom-left corner is not filled and can help you receive some points if you get lucky.
 * The player is required to earn at least 560 points per second (50,000 points / 90 seconds = 555.56 points per second). Note: This is the theoretical minimum. In practice, +5 second candies can be collected, decreasing the amount of points need to be earned per second as the amount of time available is increased.

Strategy

 * The initial bomb at the center can be a problem within seconds, so get rid of it. Don't worry about time just yet and plan a way to defuse the bomb. A striped candy handles it well, but destroying the two-layered icing squares is also an option.
 * Destroying one of the bottom corner icings can cause the bomb to drop out diagonally, so be mindful of that.
 * Afterwards, focus on demolishing more bombs as they give you a lot of points.
 * Special candies are recommended to be made, especially colour bombs. Be fast.

Trivia

 * For unknown reasons, the present version contains two leftmost columns that each have one empty square at the bottom, which added the chance of some cascades matches happening before the player makes a move.
 * This is the first timed level which has a candy bomb right from the start.
 * This is the first timed level which candies do not start from their rest positions.
 * This level has an icon bug. Icon bug is the first version of this level.
