Step-by-step

  1. Prepare the boulder route separately from the ball route. Open only the support needed to move the boulder into its useful position.

  2. Let the heavy object settle before sending the red ball onward. Watch which end of the plank drops and use that direction.

  3. Keep the solid divider in mind when joining the routes. Connect around its end; trying to erase the dark material will not create a passage.

  4. Guide the ball through the remaining creature pockets. Check the edges of the cleared route before assuming that the board is finished.

  5. Leave the rock’s support until its destination is ready. Removing it early can occupy the same narrow landing needed by the red character. Check the full target route after the last movement, including pockets above the final drop. If a creature remains, identify the earliest turn that missed it and change that local approach on the next attempt.

Tips

  • Leave the rock’s support until its destination is ready. Removing it early can occupy the same narrow landing needed by the red character.
  • Prepare the destination before opening the starting support. Keeping the first movement controlled makes it easier to tell whether a later failure comes from the tunnel shape or release order.
  • Trace the fixed wall to its end before committing to a side. Trying to join two pockets straight through dark material leaves a route that cannot connect.

Common mistakes

  • Opening the final outlet before checking higher target pockets can leave a creature above the character with no route back. Inspect the side entrances before making that irreversible drop.
  • Removing several supports in one swipe makes the release order unpredictable. When a moving piece occupies the route, wait for it to settle before changing nearby sand.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep the loose rock from blocking the route?

Keep the two boulders on the diagonal dark ramp from blocking the red ball arriving from the upper right. The green creatures lie beneath the ramp; prepare the lower entrance before allowing the heavy objects to move. A loose rock can settle across a passage that previously looked open. Check where it will stop relative to the next target, then separate its release from the red character’s arrival. This is a timing problem as well as a tunnel-shape problem.

Why should I keep the starting support?

Prepare the destination before opening the starting support. Keeping the first movement controlled makes it easier to tell whether a later failure comes from the tunnel shape or release order.

Which part of the fixed divider should I route around?

The dark barrier determines which pockets can connect directly. Find a usable end and prepare the continuation on that side before release. A cut aimed through the middle of the fixed material cannot substitute for that detour.
