Level 623

Level 623 is the third level of Taffy Tropics and the 164th ingredients level. To pass this level, the player must bring down 1 hazelnut and 3 cherries and score at least 50,000 points in 35 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Due to the board having six colours which makes it hard to create special candies, liquorice swirls dispensing from the top as long as one liquorice swirl is not cleared, the conveyor belt helping or hindering the creation of special candies, limited number of moves available and a high three star score requirement makes this level hard to earn three stars. It is available to be voted as the hardest level in Reality to earn three stars.

Difficulty

 * The liquorice locks prevent ingredients from settling onto the bottom.
 * There is a stuck zone on both extreme ends of the board.

Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)

 * Difficulty: Insanely Hard

Reason

 * Six colours make it hard to create special candies.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points (4 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 40,000 points). Hence, dropping the ingredients alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 160,000 points.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 4,580 points per move (160,000 points / 35 moves = 4,571.43 points per move). With that huge amount of points required, sugar crush alone is not enough to give the three star score as a striped candy during sugar crush will give a maximum of 3,540 points (3,000 points per striped candy + 540 points if the striped destroys nine candies). Note: the amount of points earned by the striped candies during sugar crush may be higher or lower.
 * The liquorice swirls restrict available board space and are hard to clear.
 * The conveyor belt may help or hinder the creation of special candies.

Possible Strategy

 * The best way to score a huge amount of points is to use colour bombs which are hard to create with six colours.
