Level 34/Dreamworld

Difficulty

 * The odd shape can throw some players off, but the moon struck feature usually helps carry this level along easily.
 * This level has six colours as opposed to four compared to its counterpart in Reality, making it more difficult to make special candies during regular moves.
 * The ingredients are worth 70,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Moon Struck

 * 1st Start: moves left.
 * 1st End: moves left.
 * 2nd Start: moves left.
 * 2nd End: moves left.
 * 3rd Start: moves left.
 * 3rd End: moves left.

Strategy

 * Ingredients over the shorter columns are a good thing as they will fall straight to the bottom rows.
 * Moon struck makes this level much easier, but be sure to keep an eye on the moon scale during regular moves.

Difficulty

 * The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies during regular moves. Furthermore, its Reality counterpart has four colours for all the moves available. This makes it much harder to create special candies compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The ingredients are worth 70,000 points. Hence, an additional 40,000 points for two stars and an additional 60,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The two star score requirement is increased by 83.33% compared to its Reality counterpart.
 * The three star score requirement is increased by 44.44% compared to its Reality counterpart. Coupled with the board having six candy colours and only having the same number of moves as its Reality counterpart makes it even harder to reach.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 1,340 points per move for two stars and an additional 2,000 points per move  for three stars. Not only is this score requirement higher than its Reality counterpart, the addition of two colours make it even harder to reach.
 * The board layout may make it difficult to drop the ingredients.
 * With respect to the two and three star target scores, 30 moves are insufficient to boost the score by a huge amount of points to meet those target scores.
 * Moon struck removes candies matching the colours on the moon scale, lasts for 4 moves and occurs thrice. This makes it much easier to create special candies. However, considering that its Reality counterpart has four colours for 30 moves, the moon struck duration is much too low to boost the score as only 40.00% of the Reality counterpart has four colours in the Dreamworld counterpart.
 * Overall, the moon strucks may not be enough due to their short duration.
 * Once the first and second moon strucks end, it can become harder to create special candies.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 7 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 70,000 points
 * 2) (110,000 - 60,000) points / 60,000 points x 100% = 83.333%
 * 3) (130,000 - 90,000) points / 90,000 points x 100% = 44.444%
 * 40,000 points / 30 moves = 1,333.33 points per move
 * 60,000 points / 30 moves = 2,000 points per move
 * 1) (4 x 3) moves / 30 moves x 100% = 40.00%

Trivia

 * This is the first Dreamworld level which has two more colours than its counterpart in Reality, bumping up straight from four to six.
