Level 180/Dreamworld

Level 180 (Dreamworld) is the tenth level in Cotton Carnival and the forty-ninth ingredients level in the Dreamworld. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 1 cherry and score at least 45,000 points in 25 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.

Difficulty

 * As with its counterpart in Reality, this is a very difficult level, as the peninsulas at the top of the level make it difficult to form special candies. This is moreso with the addition of the moon scale.
 * Given the 18 bombs which begin locked and isolated below four-layered icing, removing all of the bombs may be very difficult given the difficulty forming special candies, and the fact that any special candies used could unbalance the moon scale.
 * If the player has not made significant progress unblocking the bottom three rows, the moon struck may remove very few candies, and thus not be as helpful as in other levels.
 * The moon struck lasts only one turn, and so the player does not benefit for very long from having one fewer colours fall onto the board. The player also has only one turn to use special candies without worrying about the moon scale. Given that all bombs are locked and therefore required two hits to be removed, this adds to the difficulty in clearing all of the bombs.

Moon Struck

 * Start: moves left
 * End: moves left

Strategy

 * The bombs are set to explode with only 4 moves remaining. It may therefore be more useful to focus on poking holes for ingredients to get through the bottom three rows than it is to attempt to remove all of the bombs. In other words, it may be more helpful to ignore the bombs and simply "pretend" that the level only has 21 moves instead of 25.
