Stars

Stars are a fundamental element in Candy Crush Saga, present in all levels. In each level, a player can earn stars by getting a good Score in a level. A player can earn up to 3 stars on each level.

When you get the level's Target Score, you are awarded one star. If you get a score that is a certain number of points over the target score depending on the level, you will be awarded two stars. And when you hit the top of the Star Meter you are awarded three stars. You can tell how close you are to the next star by looking at the meter on the upper left hand side of the screen.

The number of stars you win depends on your score when you complete the level. For example, if the score to get one star was 50,000, and you fell below that, you would fail the level, as you didn't meet the target score. If to get two starrs, you needed 100,000, and you got 50,000 to 99,999 points, you would get 1 star. If you reached 100,000, you would get two stars. And if you reach the top of the meter, three stars are given.

When you go back to the level selection screen, your level stars will show on the level button and it will tell you how many points you needed to get the next star. If you got one star, a green star appears. If you got two stars, a green star and a red star is seen, and if you got three, a green, a red and a yellow star is seen.

Your friends can see how many total stars you've collected and if you have collected the most stars out of all your friends in a perticular Episode, you will be given the Winning Trophy for that episode.
