Level 1506

Difficulty

 * There are 20 popcorn squares present on the board: these provide 20 of the colour bombs required, so the player must create an additional 5 colour bombs.
 * Due to the missing tiles on the board, the action of the conveyor tends to make it harder to set up special candies even one move ahead, as the candy flow is altered, and cascades are particularly unpredictable.
 * 4 UFOs are provided to help explode the popcorn, but they are isolated from the board.
 * 4 striped candies are also provided under marmalade: these are lined up with the UFO's and, once freed, can be used to activate the UFOs.
 * The orders are worth 245,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * First, open up the board by clearing as much of the popcorn as possible, using the UFOs:
 * Clear the marmalade from the lateral striped candies and the one at the bottom.
 * Detonate one of them to activate two UFOs. Usually, once the first two go off, they set off the other two.
 * Note: the striped candy at the top is less useful as it will fall out of alignment as the marmalade is cleared.
 * If the UFOs do not clear enough popcorn, it may at this point be useful to use a single colour bomb + striped candy combination, or a double colour bomb combination, to clear more.
 * Next, focus on creating colour bombs and clearing the remaining popcorn. As each popcorn frees its colour bomb, detonate it against a regular candy or a wrapped candy, to increase the likelihood of a colour bombs being produced in cascade.
 * If you can collect all the colour bombs, the blue candies will take care of themselves.
