Moon struck will prevent red candies from spawning if red appears on either side of the moon scale (the board has six colours). However, it makes the creation of striped candies easier due to the board having four colours during moon struck.
If red colour appears on either side of the moon scale, eight additional candies have to be collected in addition to the 2 candies the player has to collect four moves after the moon struck.[1][2]
The orders are worth 16,500 points.[3] Hence, an additional 33,500 points is required to earn one star.
