Color Block Jam Level 171 – Conquer Ropes, Arrows & Tight Spaces

What’s Up with Level 171?

If you’ve made it to Level 171, get ready for a puzzle that requires smart planning and precise moves. This level introduces three key blocks and a set of tricky obstacles that can trip you up if you’re not careful.

Block & Gate Breakdown:

  • Purple Block – Starts at the top-center, but it’s tied down with ropes, restricting its movement until freed.
  • Orange Block – Positioned in the middle-right, with a relatively clear path but limited space to maneuver.
  • Red Block – Located at the bottom-left, requiring careful navigation to avoid getting trapped.

Gate Locations:

  • Purple Gate → Top-right
  • Orange Gate → Middle-left
  • Red Gate → Bottom-right

Obstacles That Make It Tough:

  • Ropes Binding Purple → You’ll need to free Purple before making any real progress.
  • Arrow Blocks → These dictate movement direction, so wrong moves can get you stuck or force unnecessary detours.
  • Limited Space → Each block must be moved in a specific order to prevent blocking another’s path.

Why This Level is Challenging

The biggest challenge in Level 171 comes from the ropes and arrow blocks. Many players struggle because they try to move blocks out of order, causing unnecessary blockages. The key is freeing Purple first, then carefully maneuvering Orange and Red without getting forced into a dead end.

How I Solved It, Step by Step?

  1. Okay, first, move Red (bottom-left) up a bit to free some room.
  2. Slide Orange (middle-right) left to start its journey.
  3. Nudge Purple (top-center) left to loosen those ropes.
  4. Shift Red right, keeping it out of Orange’s way.
  5. Move Orange left again, dodging an arrow block pushing up.
  6. Slide Purple right, untangling it more from the ropes.
  7. Push Red down toward the bottom-right corner.
  8. Move Orange left to the Orange gate (middle-left).
  9. Slide Purple right again—it’s almost free now!
  10. Shift Red fully to the Red gate (bottom-right).
  11. Finally, push Purple to the Purple gate (top-right).
