Difficulty should be pumped to straight up "Hard".

It's not very easy to get the initial color bomb to line up with the initial striped candy. Since the licorice cannon does not produce any candy, if the initial bomb is detonated the level becomes nearly impossible to clear.

If you succeed with this, you are always forced into a decision to combine the two now, or hold off and use up more moves to clear other colors in the hopes that more of the striped color one will appear. There is always the chance that you may accidentally clear some of the required color, or none of that color appears.

The licorice cannon also makes the centre column useless and you then have to rely on making the stripes in the other four quadrants. This is made even more difficult with the holes in the centre.
