### **3. How to Play**

* **Basic Matching:** Connect 3 or more similar candies in a vertical or horizontal line to crush them and score points.

* **Special Candy Creation:**

    * **Match 4:** Creates a direction-specific candy bomb that can clear an entire row or column.

    * **Match 5 (T or L shape):** Creates a magical candy that can explode a large area of surrounding tiles.

    * **Match 5 (Straight Line):** Creates a rainbow-colored "Color Bomb" that removes all candies of a specific color from the board when swapped.

* **Objective Focus:** Each level has a specific goal (e.g., clearing jellies, collecting ingredients) that must be met within a set number of moves.

### **4. How to Win: Strategy & Tips**

* **The Bottom-Up Strategy:** Prioritize making matches at the bottom of the board. This creates "cascades" where falling tiles automatically form new matches, saving you moves.

* **Conserve Your Boosters:** There are 7 powerful boosters available. Save these for "Super Hard" levels rather than using them as soon as you get stuck.

* **Master Special Combos:** Swapping two special candies together (e.g., a Color Bomb + a Striped Candy) is the most effective way to clear the board and achieve 3-star ratings.

* **Keep Your Perks:** If you are on a winning streak, try to avoid losing a level at all costs. Winning streaks often provide "Starter Boosters" (like free rockets at the start of a level) that make subsequent stages significantly easier.

* **Follow the Hints (Wisely):** The game provides moving hints if you wait a few seconds. Use these to find matches you might have missed, but remember they aren't always the *best* strategic move for the level objective.
