Level 199/Dreamworld

Difficulty

 * Like its counterpart in Reality, the top half of the board (36 double jelly squares) is hard to reach, as three-layered icings cover the jelly. Marmalade-covered wrapped candy may make this easier.
 * 30 moves may be too few to break through the icing and to clear the jellies.
 * The jellies are worth 144,000 points . Hence, an additional 1,000 points is required to earn one star.

Moon Struck

 * Start:  moves left.
 * End: moves left.

Strategy

 * As you break your way through the bottom, start to make striped candies, especially the vertical ones. They play an integral role in the destruction of the icings and jellies at the top of the level. Use a vertical striped candy to break through the top. Once there’s some space up top, start focusing on making matches there.
 * Use moon struck to your advantage, as it lasts for 10 moves here.

Difficulty

 * The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies and is essential as special candies must be used clear the icings and jellies.
 * The jellies are worth 144,000 points. Hence, an additional 141,000 points for two stars and an additional 171,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The two star score requirement is increased by 54.05% compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The three star score requirement is increased by 46.51% compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The three layer icings will cause moves to be spent to clear them. However, cascades will occur once they are cleared, resulting in plenty of points being earned.
 * Like its Reality counterpart, special candies must be created to clear the jellies on the upper half. With much fewer moves, this is more critical and gives the player even more points for their usage.
 * Moon struck removes candies matching the colour on the left side of the moon scale and lasts for ten moves. This makes it much easier to create special candies.
 * Even after the moon struck ends, it is not much harder to create special candies.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 72 double jellies x 2,000 points per double jelly = 144,000 points
 * 2) (285,000 - 185,000) points / 185,000 points x 100% = 54.054%
 * 3) (315,000 - 215,000) points / 215,000 points x 100% = 45.512%
