Level 1129

Difficulty

 * The ingredient path is blocked by multilayered icings, popcorn and marmalade.
 * There are 2 stuck zones located in five-layered icing.
 * The ingredient is worth 10,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * This level is really quite tricky, unless you get a fair smattering of luck first up.
 * The unusual configuration of reds in marmalade might yield a lot of specials and cascading action before you have even made a move, but it might not. If it doesn't, you need to plan two or three early moves to try to make the most of the opportunity to make specials on the initial board.
 * Striped candies are your main friends on this level. You need to line them up well to destroy the blockers and attack that popcorn. A combination or two with a wrapped candy will help this process. If you are lucky, you might even achieve a colour bomb + striped candy combination, but that is rare due to the shape of the board and the pesky central location of blockers and popcorn.
 * The ingredient has a tendency to move into stuck zones, unless you ease its journey down, so while a big combination blast might be very handy early in the stages to chip away at the blockers and popcorn, you should be more careful once the ingredient is on the verge of release or has just been released. It is very tricky to get out of the stuck zones on this level.
 * In any case, if you have a stock of specials ready to go, it is much better to trigger those once your ingredient is past the dangerous stuck zones and thus get the job done with a flourish.

Trivia

 * The blockers form a heart shape.
