Level 57

Level 57 is the seventh level in Minty Meadow (Episode 5) and the sixteenth ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 60,000 points in 45 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * It may be hard to deal with chocolate and bring 4 ingredients down to the bottom.
 * 6 colours may make it hard to make switches at places where the ingredients fall.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points (4 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 40,000 points). Hence, an additional 20,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Don't let the chocolate take over board, try to clear it as quickly as possible.
 * If candies are not able to clear chocolate, start to bring the ingredient down.
 * Always look for moves that can clear chocolate to prevent an all-round chocolate invasion.
 * As usual with levels such as these, create special candies (especially vertical striped candies) on the same row as your ingredient. These will take out all of the candies in the row and bring the ingredient to the bottom in one single move.

Earning More Stars

Reason

 * The presence six colours makes it hard to create special candies.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 40,000 points for two stars and an additional 80,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 900 points per move (40,000 points / 45 moves = 888.89 points per move) for two stars and an additional 1,780 points per move (80,000 points / 45 moves = 1,777.78 points per move) for three stars.
 * The regular icings block the ingredients, once those are cleared, the chocolate will spread to reduce available board. Even though not all of the regular icings need to be cleared, the chocolate which will spread is hard to clear with six colours.
 * There are no additional blockers and a open board. The presence of six colours negate this advantage.
 * Given the limited prospects of earning plenty of points outside sugar crush, it is essential that the player completes this level in as few moves as possible.
