Level 288 is the thirteenth level in Candy Clouds and the 90th candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries in 55 moves or fewer.
When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
The isolation of spaces at the bottom of the board along with five layered icing proves difficult to get rid of and creates an awkward board. Try to find options to make striped candies to try to chip away at the 5-layer icing.
The second, third, and fourth ingredients get dropped at moves 45, 35, and 25 respectively.
The ingredients are worth 40,000 points,[1] which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy
Set off the striped candies at the bottom as soon as possible.
The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies and is essential as special candies must be used to drop the ingredients.
The ingredient is worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 35,000 points for two stars and an additional 50,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
The player is required to earn an additional 640 points per move[2] for two stars and an additional 920 points per move[3] for three stars.
The upper icing are not to hard to clear with five colours.
The lower icing force the creation, in most cases, special candy combinations to clear them. All these can result in plenty of points being earned.
Most runs of passing the level will result in a huge number of moves left for sugar crush.

Glitch
The difficulty used to be split into very hard on the web version, and Somewhat easy on phone. The reason is that 5 striped candy activated at the same time only remove one layer of icing on web version, while the same situation would have removed all 5 layers of icing on phone versions. Should any candy below the icing gets destroyed however, the uncovered striped candies nearby will slide down. This negates the above advantage the mobile device has. This has been fixed when Jiggly Gym is released for some.
