Each level has a certain number of sweets that must be matched. When a match is made, the surrounding sweets will get powered up. This is indicated by the number that appears at the bottom left corner of a sweet, which corresponds to how much that sweet is worth. The more combos you make around the sweets, the higher the number will get. Create special matches to get additional affects. Matching four sweets will shoot a power-beam either horizontally or vertically that powers up nearby sweets by an increased amount. Matching five sweets will cause sweets all over the level that are the same as match to be collected, giving you a large score bonus. Creating a "L" or cross match will shoot a power beam both horizontally and vertically.
