Hello @sarahj6

I am sorry to hear that you lost your gold due to this level. You're right, there's no warning about the mixer producing chocolate at the start of the level. Such warnings only appear when the mixer produces something listed in the level objectives. Unfortunately, there are no warnings if the chocolate is needed to open locks.

The changes in the fish mechanics made this level more difficult. The magic mixer was not meant to be destructible, and the old fish did not attack it. Unfortunately, the new fish do. To win this level, you have to choose the right moments to activate the fish. They can be helpful when the board has chocolate or bubblegum spawned by the mixer, as they will target these blockers. However, be careful not to set off fish when there are no blockers for them to target, as they will hit the mixer and eventually destroy it.

Here's a video:

Also, note that order locks can be opened with lollipop hammers. By hitting an order lock with a hammer, the number of orders required to unlock it will be reduced by one. If you only need one or two chocolates to open it and have hammers, it's a good idea to use them.

Good luck!
