Level 357/Dreamworld

Difficulty

 * Since its counterpart in Reality has four colours, the addition of one more colour can make it difficult to create special candies.
 * It can be hard to bring down 18 ingredients.
 * The ingredients are worth 180,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Moon Struck

 * 1st Start: moves left.
 * 1st End: moves left.
 * 2nd Start: moves left.
 * 2nd End: moves left.

Strategy

 * Use striped candies or striped candy + wrapped candy combinations to bring down ingredients, but watch the moon scale.

Difficulty

 * Even though the presence of five colours should cause fewer moves to be spent to create special candies, its Reality counterpart has four colours for all the moves available. Hence, it is harder to create special candies compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The ingredients are worth 180,000 points. Hence, an additional 100,000 points for two stars and an additional 120,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 3,040 points per move for two stars. Even though this is lower than its Reality counterpart at 3,340 points, the extra colour makes it harder to to create special candies or drop the ingredients quickly even with 3 more moves compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 3,640 points per move for three stars. Even though this is lower than its Reality counterpart at 4,000 points, this is higher than the maximum amount of points a striped candy during sugar crush can provide which in this case is 3,480 points . Moreover, the extra colour makes it harder to to create special candies or drop the ingredients quickly even with 3 more moves compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The liquorice swirls may occasionally dispense, preventing too many ingredients from being dropped in a single move.
 * Moon struck removes candies matching the colour on the left side of the moon scale, lasts for five moves and occurs twice. This makes it much easier to create special candies. However, considering that its Reality counterpart has four colours for 30 moves, the moon struck duration is much too low to boost the score as only 33.33% of the Reality counterpart has four colours in the Dreamworld counterpart.
 * Overall, the moon strucks may not be enough due to their short duration.
 * Even after each moon struck ends, it is not much harder to create special candies. However, the extra colour negate this advantage.

Strategy

 * Try to create colour bomb + wrapped candy combinations if given the opportunity.
 * Wrapped candy + striped candy combinations on the areas directly above the dispensers also help in dropping the ingredients. However, beware of the liquorice swirls.

Trivia

 * This level has more moves than its counterpart in Reality.
