Level 336/Dreamworld

Difficulty

 * Although this level contains the same number of icing as its counterpart in Reality, the icing has more layers:
 * There are eight squares of five-layered icing at the center of the board, compared to one in Reality.
 * There are four squares of three-layered icing around the five-layered icing, compared to eight in Reality.
 * There are twelve squares of double-layered icing, compared to sixteen in Reality.
 * With five colours, this level is harder than its counterpart in Reality, which only has four.
 * Fortunately, there are two long moon strucks.
 * The moon scale is also stable for this level.
 * The jellies are worth 98,000 points . Hence, an additional 2,000 points is required to earn one star.

Moon Struck

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

Strategy

 * Start by breaking the icing at the sides.
 * Then, start to clear liquorice locks, and continue breaking the icing.
 * Clear the jellies with the help of the moon struck effect.

Difficulty

 * Even though the presence of five colours should make it easy 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 jellies are worth 98,000 points. Hence, an additional 242,000 points for two stars and an additional 342,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * Even though the two and three star score requirements are the same as its Reality counterpart, the extra colour makes them hard to reach even with 5 more moves compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * Like its Reality counterpart, the multi layer icings heavily reduce available board space. However, there is an extra colour which reduces the number of possible switches. Moreover, there are more layers on the icings which an additional 5 moves may not be enough to clear them.
 * 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 35 moves, the moon struck duration is much too low to boost the score as only 28.57% of the counterpart in Reality has four colours in the Dreamworld counterpart.
 * Even after the first moon struck ends, it is not much harder to create special candies. However, the extra colour negates this advantage.

Trivia

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