Level 244, also known as "Wrong Exit", is the 244th level of Sweet Shift Saga. It appears in Portal Panic in World II and is classified as a Ingredients level.

Objective

The player has 23 moves to bring down 4 Ingredients. The board uses 5 candy colors, with the level's challenge coming from the interaction between its objective and its featured mechanics.

Layout and mechanics

The board uses linked Portal Tiles to redirect candy flow. Portal routes influence where matches, special candies, and Ingredients can travel, so the effective layout is larger than the visible local section around any one tile.

The principal mechanics associated with the level are: Wafer Blockers, Frosting Blocks, Licorice Locks, Portal Tiles, Ingredient Exits, Moving Spots, Fish Cannons. These elements determine which spaces should be opened first and whether the player should prioritize board access, routing, timed threats, or direct objective damage.

Strategy

• Trace each Portal entry to its exit before committing a move, especially when routing Ingredients or Specials.
• Open the ingredient lanes first; horizontal progress is only useful when the exit route remains clear.
• Whenever possible, combine striped, wrapped, or color-based specials so one move advances several objectives at once.

Difficulty

This level is listed as Hard in this article pack. Difficulty is driven mainly by the move limit, number of candy colors, objective overlap, and how strongly the featured mechanic restricts efficient matches. Players generally benefit more from multi-target special-candy combinations than from clearing one obstacle at a time.
