Color Block Jam Level 401 – Outsmart Ice, Layers & Tight Spaces
Level 401 presents a complex yet rewarding puzzle featuring three key blocks: Green, Blue, and Yellow. The Green block is positioned at the top-right, but its movement is hindered by ice, making sliding a challenge. The Blue block sits at the center, but it’s layered, meaning you’ll need multiple moves to free it completely. Lastly, the Yellow block starts at the bottom-left, requiring careful positioning to clear the path for other blocks.
Step-by-Step Guide to Beating Level 401
- Move Yellow (bottom-left) one space to the right (to row 5, column 3) to open up space in the center.
- Slide Blue (center) upward (from row 3, column 3 to row 2, column 3) to begin peeling off its layers.
- Shift Green (top-right) left (from row 1, column 5 to row 1, column 4) to slide it off the ice patch.
- Move Yellow downward (from row 5, column 3 to row 6, column 3) to keep the bottom area clear.
- Slide Blue to the right (from row 2, column 3 to row 2, column 4) removing another layer.
- Push Green left again (from row 1, column 4 to row 1, column 3) bringing it closer to the Green gate.
- Move Yellow slightly upward (from row 6, column 3 to row 5, column 3) to create space for upcoming moves.
- Slide Blue fully to the right (from row 2, column 4 to row 2, column 5) clearing its final layer and positioning it for the gate.
- Shift Green into the Green gate (from row 1, column 3 to row 1, column 1).
- Guide Yellow right (from row 5, column 3 to row 5, column 4), then down (to row 6, column 4), and finally into the Yellow gate (row 6, column 5).
Why is Level 401 Difficult?
Color Block Jam Level 401 is tricky due to a combination of layered blocks, ice patches, and strategic positioning challenges. Here’s why many players struggle with this level:
- Ice Makes Movement Unpredictable – The Green block starts on an ice patch, meaning it slides uncontrollably until it hits an obstacle. Players must plan carefully to control its movement and prevent it from getting stuck in a bad position.
- Layered Blue Block Requires Multiple Moves – Unlike standard blocks, the Blue block in the center must be peeled layer by layer before it can reach its gate. This adds extra steps and forces players to strategically clear space first.
- Yellow’s Position Blocks Other Moves – The Yellow block (bottom-left) is in the way of key movements, requiring precise shifting to free up space while ensuring it can still reach its gate later.
- Limited Space for Maneuvering – The center area is tight, meaning every move must be deliberate. Moving the wrong block at the wrong time can trap other blocks, forcing players to reset.
