Level 288

Level 288 is the thirteenth level in Candy Clouds and the seventy-third ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 40,000 points in 55 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.

Difficulty

 * The isolation of spaces at the bottom of the board along with five layer icing proves difficult to get rid of and creates an awkward board. Try to find options to make striped candies to try to chip away at the 5-layer icing.
 * The difficulty is split into Very hard on Facebook, and Considerably easy on phone. The reason is that 5 striped candy activated at the same time only remove one layer of icing on Facebook, while the same situation would have removed all 5 layers of icing on phone versions. Should any candy below the icing gets destroyed however, the uncovered striped candies nearby will slide down. This negates the above advantage the mobile device has.
 * The second, third and fourth ingredients get dropped at moves 45, 35 and 25 respectively.

Strategy

 * Set off the striped candies at the bottom as soon as possible.
 * Create horizontal candies or striped+color bomb combinations to clear the icing and locked candies.
