I obviously agree with Insanely Hard, and with other things such as extremely boring, poor design, mostly luck-based, etc. I just wanted, first, to share my frustration of the moment, having missed the target score by a mere 620 points. Not as close as the person below reporting a 240-point miss, but our reactions were probably quite similar.

Secondly, I take this opportunity to point out two mistakes in the currently proposed strategy. In the third point, it says: "Keep an eye on the bottom section of the board. You are only able to get colour bombs on the very bottom of this section because of the board length. One colour bomb will definitely shoot you above the one star target score."

The first part is not true. There are four 5-tile alignments where colour bombs can be created: two in the bottom left section (one horizontal, one vertical) and two in the top right section (same).

The second part is not true either. During this frustratingly close last try, I've created a colour bomb – it created itself, actually – and carefully kept it to let it explose during Sugar Crush, because I believe this is what gets you the most points (maybe I'm wrong, it's just an impression). So it did, and another one was thus created and exploded too. And despite those two colour bombs, I still wasn't able to pass the level. At least once before did I also manage to create two colour bombs during the same game, but it was still far from being enough to reach the target score.

In that regard, the second point of the strategy section is also quite dubious: "a combination or two could get you to win the level easily".

Now, back to probably a few other dozens of frustrating attempts…
