Super Candy Jewels

Super Candy Jewels sits on the line between the two biggest skins in the genre, and its scoring leans on combos: clears that trigger further clears are what the game pays for, and a level worked purely as a sequence of tidy threes will run out of moves before it runs out of requirements.

Setting up a combo means leaving something alone. The obvious match on the board is usually available next turn as well, while the arrangement that would make it a chain often disappears if you clear around it. That trade — a certain small clear now against a probable large one shortly — is the entire skill curve here.

The run is long enough to be worth starting and short enough to be finishable, and the sweets keep the board bright without making the pieces hard to tell apart.

1. Swap two neighbouring pieces to line up three or more of the same kind.
2. Look for clears that will drop pieces into another waiting match.
3. Leave a promising cluster alone for a turn if clearing near it would break the setup.
4. Finish every level to work through the sweet adventure.

Before taking a match, look at the two columns directly above it. If either holds a pair of one colour, your clear will drop them together — and that is a combo you get for free, which is exactly what this board scores highest.
