Level 617

Level 617 is the twelfth level of Cereal Sea and the two hundred seventieth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 49 single and 17 double jelly squares and score at least 100,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points.

With an identical board layout to level 475 but with much fewer jellies to sustain huge point cascades, six colours making it hard to create special candies, blockers being hard to clear and a high three star score requirement makes this level hard to earn three stars. It will be available to be voted as the hardest level in Reality to earn three stars starting 1 August 2014.

Difficulty

 * There are a lot of hard-to-reach jellies, especially in the corners.
 * Regular Icing blocks the upper part of the board
 * With 6 colors present and an awkwardly-shaped board, making special candies can be very hard.

Strategy

 * If possible, break the icing at the top row first. It is almost impossible to complete the level if you consume some of the candies on the right but leave the icing intact, as there would be insufficient candies in that half to create special candies.

Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)

 * Difficulty: Insanely hard
 * Six colours make it hard to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 83,000 points ((49 single jellies × 1,000 points per single jelly) + (17 double jellies x 2 single jellies per double jelly x 1,000 points per single jelly) = 83,000 points). Hence, clearing the jellies alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 217,000 points.
 * There are insufficient jellies to sustain huge point cascades.
 * The blockers are hard to clear especially the ones at the lower half, reducing the number of moves available for sugar crush.
 * Even after the blockers are cleared, it is still hard to create special candies and most of the available jellies would have been cleared by then.
 * The sugar crush is not too useful in increasing the points earned.
 * The three star target score is high. Most runs of passing the level will end up with 165,000 - 195,000 points.

Trivia

 * This level resembles level 475 with identical two target and three star target scores but with fewer jellies, six colours, and no chocolate generator, but there is regular icing.
