ran out of time on the first round playing,.. then no timer appeared on the second round, though I was much quicker,,..
Found myself repeating certain ones more than others. Especially the more certain ones.
I recorded my play through if you want a watch.

Hey Peter, thanks for playing! (and for recording)
The game lasts for 5 minutes, with the timer visible for the final minute. (it's meant to be a visual warning that you're almost out of time)
So it looks like you stopped the game right before the timer appeared.
If you exceed 365 candies, the game still continues for the full duration and then the final screen will say something like "Congrats - You earned 50 extra candies"
Thank you so much for the playthrough video, gave some very valuable insights! You figured out the meta quite early on so i see you ended up using that strategy to win in the second round. I understand now that some of the combinations are overpowered after watching your video so you preferred them over others, some balancing would be required to give it more variety like increasing the energy cost of those items maybe. Appreciate the feedback :)
