Unlock the Striped Candies.

There are three striped candies locked in marmalade that you have to free. Once they are freed, you must activate them to free the wrapped candy in the middle.

Destroy the Bombs.

Once the first step is completed, you now have to disarm the bombs in the middle of the board. Now you have to activate the wrapped candy that is surrounded by the bombs. This will destroy all the bombs and give you a nice chunk of points.

Score the Remaining Points.

After all the bombs are destroyed, you should be near you goal of 40,000 points. If you haven't surpassed the 40,000, try to create special candies quickly to beat the time limit. You might be able to get to the points goal without even doing the steps provided and just make special candies in the surrounding area, but this way will definitely win you the level.

Candy Crush Level 204 Video

Level 204 is a Timed level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to score 40,000 points in 45 seconds. In order to complete a Timed level, you have to reach a certain score in a certain amount of time. Its more difficult than it seems, since you don't really have time to think about the moves you're making.

How to Beat Timed Levels:

  • Some of the candies have +5's on them. Match these candies! They'll give you five extra seconds in the round, which could be the difference between winning and losing.
  • The timed levels can vary a lot in time, so watch out! Some of them can be as short as fifteen seconds.
  • Some timed levels still have blockers on them, so watch out for them.
  • If you've achieved the minimum score but still have time left, stop playing unless there are no blockers on the board. There's no point losing a level that you have already won.
  • Sugar crushes can be a huge advantage on these levels! Any special candies that you have formed, but that haven't been activated yet, will be activated by a sugar crush. This will get you a HUGE amount of points.

Bonus Tip: Speed Matching

AI

In timed levels, speed beats perfection. Quick matches anywhere beat slow perfect matches. Let cascades work for you while you scan for the next move.

This was mysterious. I never had a timed level finished so quickly. First move made a sprinkled candy, second move I used it, then the minimum score was already reached. Another striped plus wrapped combo, and the three stars were mine. Also those bombs went away almost just by themselves, with a wrapped candy going off down there...
