Candy Order levels



Candy Order levels are the third most common type of levels in reality, currently making up % of the levels at 429 total appearances out of the levels. In Dreamworld, they make up 23.31% of the overall 665 levels, at 155 total appearances.

See the full list of candy order levels here (full details) or (quick view).



Objective
To pass candy order levels, the player has to collect a certain amount of candies, candy combinations or blockers within a certain number of moves. The remaining moves left will become striped candies on the board and they will be activated on Sugar Crush.

Collecting a candy really means clearing it in any way possible. An exception is when a candy is eaten by chocolate; they do not count. Destroying a wrapped candy of the target colour counts as two candies collected.

The lucky candy booster is a booster that can provide a random candy or blocker that is listed in the order for you when destroyed. This makes them almost useless on levels which require players to collect regular candies as the only order required or part of the order required.

The scoring system is as follows: Every regular candy or blocker (except popcorn) collected gives 100 points, every special candy collected (without any combinations) gives 1,000 points, each special candy combination gives 5,000 points, and each popcorn gives 10,000 points.

Web description
''You need to collect a number of specified candies by removing them from the board (switching them out). If you run out of moves before collecting all of the required candies, you will fail the level.''

Description
When you cursor on the order at the middle left of the game, an inscription will show up like the gallery below:

Reality
Candy Order levels are considered easier than jelly levels, but may be harder than ingredients levels on average. In the early 400s and mid-late 600s, however, they may be much harder.

Usually orders that consists of gathering candies of some colour are easy (though there are notable exceptions such as levels and ). These generally tend to be common early on but later on, there are more complicated orders such as gathering, or even mixing together special candies. Cascading is one of the main strategies when it comes to collect coloured candies. Unlike jelly levels or ingredient levels, you do not have to aim a specific location on the board in order to destroy the right candies. Massive cascades are sometimes required to collect enough candies.

However, at the higher levels, special candy mixes become more common. Mixing 2 special candies can be a difficult task. Not only do players have to create the special candies, but they also have to position them adjacent to each other first. Therefore, this is a very luck based objective. However, some of the higher levels such as the ones in Gummy Gardens only require the collection of candies, special or not. Finally, some of these levels have one target scores which are so high that fulfilling the order alone is not enough to pass the level.

Some candy order levels have a very tight space and/or have 6 colours, making the fulfill of the order much harder.

Dreamworld
Candy Order is the hardest level type in Dreamworld. The number of moves are often fewer than Reality and may also have larger order or more colours (always 5 at least), so most insanely hard levels are candy order. The moon scale is also responsible for the very high difficulty of Dreamworld Candy Order levels. Levels and  are examples of levels that are much harder than their counterpart because of the 5th colour.

The moon scale also can ruin the day. For colour orders, if the order is the same colour as the moon scale this can cause Odus to fall and slow down your cascades. Special candy orders can also be hard battling the moon scale, as it can unintentionally set off a lot huge cascade. The same goes for candy mixes.

On levels with 5 colours the moon struck remove the left hand colour and levels with 6 colours the moon struck remove both colours on the scale. That means that the entire time the moon struck is active, those candies will not spawn and can therefore not be collected if part of the orders (in addition to the difficulty mentioned above). Some levels rely on mixes and the moon struck could mess up the position of the special candies and instead cause a huge cascade. It makes it easier but it can be frustrating if the cascades set off if you try to position the special candies together. However, special candy orders are a lot easier with a moon struck because a massive cascade can create lots of special candies.
