.


--------------------------------------------------------
There are three possible objectives on each level.

1. Score quota
2. Removing dark pulps
3. Bringing down fruits.

There are two possible challenges on each level.

1. Complete the objective before time runs out.
2 Complete the objective before you run out of swaps.

--------------------------------------------------------
Obstacles.

1. Chocolate bar: A chocolate can not be moved, can only be
cleared if an adjacent candy is cleared or if a striped
candy or a double candy power up is triggered.


Matching 4 or more candies rewards the player with
a power up candy. There are 3 power ups.

1. Striped candy (horizontal and vertical stripe).
2. Double candy.
3. Lollipop candy.

--------------------------------------------------------
Striped candy power up.

To create a striped candy you need to match 4 candies in a row or column.

Matching a striped candy with 2 other candies of the
same type will trigger the power up.

Striped candy when triggered will clear the row or column depending on the candy stripe.

1. Horizontal stripe is created when 4 candies are
matched in the same column.
2. Vertical stripe is created when 4 candies are matched
in the same row.

--------------------------------------------------------
Double candy power up.

To create a double candy, you need to match intersecting
candies of the same type in a column and row,

Matching a double candy with 2 other candies of the
same type will trigger the power up.

Double candy when triggered will clear the adjacent
candies around the double candy.


--------------------------------------------------------
Lollipop candy power up.

There are two possible ways to create the Lollipop power up candy.

1. Matching 5 candies of the same type.
2. Matching 2 types of candies in one swap in a single row or column.

Swapping a lollipop candy with a regular candy,
will clear all the regular candy of the same type.

Swapping a lollipop candy with striped candy, will
transform all the regular candy of the same type
to a striped candy power up and triggers the striped
candy power up.

Swapping a lollipop candy with a double candy will
transform all the regular candy of the same type
to a double candy power up and triggers the
double candy power up.

Swapping a lollipop candy with another lollipop
candy will clear all the candies.

--------------------------------------------------------

Power ups can be swapped with any other power ups.

Striped candy swapped with another striped candy clears
all the candies in a row and column

double candy swapped with another double candy clears
a seven by seven block of candies. ( 7 rows x 7 columns)

Striped candy swapped with a double candy clears
three vertical rows of candy and 3 horizontal columns
of candies.
