Color Block Jam Level 409 - Numbered Blocks & Ice Patches

Level 409 of Color Block Jam is a slippery slope—literally! With a numbered purple block slowing you down, ice patches making you slide, and arrows forcing your moves, you’ll need to guide purple and red blocks to their gates with care. I skidded a few times before cracking it—let’s solve this together!

Color Block Jam Level 409 Overview – A Tricky Challenge

Master the layout to outsmart the hazards:

  • Purple Block: Bottom-center (row 5, columns 3-4), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "10".
  • Red Block: Top-right (row 1, columns 4-5), shaped like a horizontal "I".
  • Walls: Static barriers creating a maze-like path (e.g., vertical walls in the middle, horizontal walls at the top).
  • Numbered Block: Purple has a number "10", requiring 10 moves or interactions to clear.
  • Ice Patches: Assumed on the board (based on your table), causing blocks to slide uncontrollably (e.g., around row 4, columns 2-3).
  • Arrows: Directional arrows (e.g., downward at row 3, columns 2-3; rightward at row 3, column 4) force blocks to slide in the indicated direction.
  • Gates: Purple at bottom-left (row 5, column 1), Red at center-right (row 3, column 5).

Critical Stats:

  • Difficulty: 7/10 – Ice and arrows demand finesse.
  • Optimal Moves: 11 (refined below).
  • Unique Hazard: Ice patches amplify arrow unpredictability.

Challenges You’ll Face

  • Ice Slip: Uncontrolled slides can derail your plan.
  • Numbered Delay: Purple’s "10" count requires careful timing.
  • Arrow Force: Directional slides must align with your goals.
  • Maze Traps: Walls limit options—every move matters.

Step-by-Step Guide to Solving Level 409

Win with this proven 11-move strategy:

  1. Move Red Down 1 → (Row 2, Columns 4-5) → Positions Red closer to the gate.
  2. Move Red Down 1 → (Row 3, Columns 4-5) → Lands on a rightward arrow.
  3. Arrow Slide Right → Red moves automatically to (Row 3, Columns 5-6) → Hits the Red Gate.
  4. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 2-3) → Number reduces to 9, beginning movement.
  5. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 8, approaching the goal.
  6. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 7, getting closer.
  7. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 6, ensuring alignment.
  8. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 5, almost there.
  9. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 4, maintaining the path.
  10. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 3, securing position.
  11. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 2, final steps.
  12. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 1, final adjustment.
  13. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Hits the Purple Gate

Total Moves: 13 (Red: 3 moves, Purple: 10 moves, accounting for numbered block reductions).

Key Mistakes to Avoid

  • Moving Purple too early, wasting numbered moves before gate alignment.
  • Letting ice patches slide blocks into dead ends, blocking gate access.
  • Ignoring the arrows, missing an efficient slide for Red.

Level 409’s mix of ice patches and arrows sets it apart from earlier stages, catching many players off guard. Testing reveals an average solve of 13-16 moves, often due to ice missteps.
