Level 182

Level 182 is the twelfth level in Cupcake Circus and the nineteenth timed level. To pass this level, you must score at least 30,000 points within 2 minutes. When time runs out, Sugar Crush will first activate all special candies, and then turn any remaining +5 candies into wrapped candies and activate them.

Difficulty

 * The board is made of four boxes, making it more complicated and also makes the creation of color bombs impossible.
 * If the chocolate in the bottom-right box is not dealt with early on, it will become nearly impossible to clear it later, causing you to lose out on points which could be essential.
 * The candy bombs move count are low and are very difficult to be cleared.
 * Four-layer meringues will block the flow of candies to the right-hand side of the board.
 * The presence of numerous kinds of blockers in each box makes it difficult for the player to decide which blocker should be destroyed first.

Strategy

 * The first thing you have to do is to get rid of the chocolate as soon as possible.
 * From there, you can clear all 4 candy bombs, worth 12,000 points which means you only have to score 18,000 more points to clear the level. No additional candy bombs will appear, so there is no need to worry after destroying them. But that also means that you have to be quick and do lots of cascades.
 * The last thing is to get rid of the 4-layer meringues. You don't want to play only on one side of the board, otherwise you'll be unable to reach the score requirement, as you're missing half the board's potential.
 * Make sure you grab +5 candies on the way. They'll really benefit you for this level.
 * If you are completely stressed by this level and cannot beat it, here's an easy way to pass it. If you have a color bomb booster available, activate it and enter the level. Now, use the color bomb on a color that a candy bomb is, too. This will score you near if not over the required score.

Trivia

 * This used to be the third level in Hell's Cluster.
