Which gives you more points....?

Howdy,
Playing earlier levels to earn more stars. When playing a level with X amount of moves, Which earns you more points...finishing quickly and creating as many blasters with amount of moves left or using as many moves as possible before breaking last glass?

The "big" points in JM come from "chains," or matches made in quick succession while jewels are still falling onto the board. You'll notice that's when Paul says, "Alright!" (When you clear some jewels, and as the replacing gems fall in, they create several bonus matches.) The value grows exponentially this way. When you finish a moves level early, you do get a blaster for each remaining move. They all get blown at once, but it's just one time, one chance at a chain. If you're on a level where it's pretty easy to make matches/special jewels, I'd say it's better to make your own matches & wait until near the end to break the last glass. Not sure if the same applies to difficult boards, or those that use all 6 jewel colors, though. Need to test that, lol... :p Hope that helps!

Awesome, as usual! Thanks Phaedrakiki!
