Tips
Play it better
- Watch the swing for a full arc before cutting; timing the cut at the top of the swing sends the candy furthest.
- Bubbles float the candy upward, so pop them by tapping at exactly the right height.
- Air cushions push the candy in the direction they point; tap them several times for a stronger push.
- Collect stars in order of the swing path instead of trying to grab them all in one pass.
- You can usually reset a level instantly, so experiment rather than overthinking each cut.
