Color Block Jam Level 234 - Numbered Blocks and Bombs
Level 234 of Color Block Jam heats things up with numbered blocks and a bomb! You’ll need to move purple (numbered "21"), green, blue, red (numbered "5"), and yellow blocks to their gates while ensuring the bomb doesn’t explode. The numbered blocks add a layer of complexity, but I’ve got a clear path for you—let’s solve it step by step!
Color Block Jam Level 234 - Board Layout
Understand the layout to master the level:
- Purple Block: Top-left (row 1, columns 1-2), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "21".
- Green Block: Top-right (row 1, columns 4-5), shaped like a horizontal "I".
- Blue Block: Center-right (row 3, columns 4-5), shaped like a horizontal "I".
- Red Block: Bottom-center (row 5, columns 2-3), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "5".
- Yellow Block: Center-left (row 3, columns 1-2), shaped like a horizontal "I".
- Bomb: Center (row 3, column 3) – must be avoided or defused by not trapping it.
- Gates: Purple at bottom-left (row 5, column 1), Green at top-right (row 1, column 5), Blue at center-right (row 3, column 5), Red at bottom-right (row 5, column 5), Yellow at center-left (row 3, column 1).
Obstacles You’ll Encounter
- Numbered Blocks: Purple’s "21" and Red’s "5" counters require multiple moves to reduce.
- Bomb Hazard: The bomb at (row 3, column 3) must not be trapped by surrounding blocks.
- Block Coordination: Moving one block can block another’s path or trap the bomb.
- Path Management: Walls create a maze-like layout, so plan your moves carefully.
Step-by-Step Instruction to Solve Level 234
Win with this 12-move strategy:
- Move Green Right 1 → (Row 1, Columns 5-6) → Green hits the Green Gate.
- Move Blue Right 1 → (Row 3, Columns 5-6) → Blue hits the Blue Gate.
- Move Yellow Left 1 → (Row 3, Columns 1-2) → Yellow hits the Yellow Gate.
- Move Red Right 1 → (Row 5, Columns 3-4) → Number reduces to 4, Red moves toward its gate.
- Move Red Right 1 → (Row 5, Columns 4-5) → Number reduces to 3, Red hits the Red Gate.
- Move Red Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 3-4) → Number reduces to 2.
- Move Red Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 2-3) → Number reduces to 1.
- Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 2, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 20.
- Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 3, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 19.
- Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 4, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 18.
- Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 5, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 17.
- Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 16, Purple hits the Purple Gate.
Total Moves: 12 (Green: 1 move, Blue: 1 move, Yellow: 1 move, Red: 4 moves, Purple: 5 moves).
Note: The numbered blocks don’t need to reach 0 to win, as long as they reach their gates. The bomb is defused by ensuring it isn’t trapped—moving blocks like Blue and Red clears the space around it safely.
Key Mistakes to Avoid
- Trapping the bomb by surrounding it with blocks, causing an explosion.
- Moving Purple or Red without a plan, wasting moves on their numbered counters.
- Blocking Purple’s path to its gate by leaving Red in the way.
Level 234’s numbered blocks and bomb make it a bit trickier than earlier levels like 20, but it’s still manageable with careful planning. The average solve takes 14-16 moves due to bomb missteps or inefficient counter reduction. Our 12-move solution prioritizes gate alignment and bomb safety. Can you beat this?
