Level 13

Level 13 is the third level in Candy Factory and the 6th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 26 single jelly squares in 21 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.

Difficulty
The board is quite large and there are five colors, making special candy creation and cascades occur fairly often. However, there are four holes near the jellies. The jellies above and between the holes can be hard to reach, even by special candies, and in those areas cascades rarely occur. In general, despite over 70 board spaces, the board shape is quite awkward and there are many jellies to clear. 26 jellies might not be enough to clear 21 single jellies. This makes it among the harder levels in Candy Factory. However, this issue can be easily solved with special candy combinations, as described below.

Tips

 * 1) In this level, special candies and their combos are essential because there are a number of jellies that are hard to reach, especially those around the holes. Because the board has an awkward shape, you don't need to play from the bottom. Plan your moves carefully on the jelly.
 * 2) Clear the top jelly and those around the holes.
 * 3) A striped candy combined with a wrapped candy in the middle column of both sections of jellies can clear one section. This means that two striped + wrapped combinations might clear all the jellies.
 * 4) A color bomb usually clears only a fraction of all the jellies, because the board shape makes cascades rare. It is better to combine it with a striped candy. If you do not have a striped candy, combine it with a wrapped. Obviously, a double color bomb combo will clear all the jellies in one move. Of course, it's extremely difficult to make.
 * 5) A double wrapped candy combo set near the middle-top of a section of jellies might clear most of the section. A double striped combo is ineffective but can help clear some cornered jellies.
 * 6) Try to set striped candies in the middle of jellies so they can clear the jellies around the holes. Usually, wrapped candies in the larger areas of the board won't reach them.

1 Star: 23,000 Points

2 Stars: 28,000 Points

3 Stars: 30,000 Points

Difficulty of Earning More Stars

 * The presence of five colors makes it relatively easy to create special candies and cascades because there are no blockers.
 * The jellies are worth 26,000 points. Hence, an additional 2,000 points for two stars and an additional 4,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn at least 1,350 points per move for two stars and at least 1,430 points per move for three stars.
 * 21 moves are limited in earning a huge amount of points due to sugar crush, the limiting of the number of special candies created via regular matches and cascades. However, this point is less critical due to the low two and three-star target scores.
