Sand Loop Level 204 Guide: The Volcano Eruption Puzzle

You are staring at a pixel art rendition of a Volcano Eruption. Unlike the cute animals or static fruit bowls from previous stages, this level is a "stratified" puzzle. You have distinct horizontal layers of color—sky, horizon, mountain, grass, water—and a supply tray that is actively fighting against that order.

This isn't a speed level. It’s a digging level. The primary challenge here isn't the complex shape of the volcano; it's the fact that the core color for the eruption (Yellow) is buried under heavy debris in the supply tray.

Sand Loop Level 204 Solution: The Volcano Eruption

Take a second to map the canvas at the top of the screen before you tap anything. The image is built in strict layers:

Top: A thick band of Purple sky with a Cyan smoke plume rising from the center.
Middle: A horizontal Pink sunset strip.
Center: The massive Orange volcano body topped with Yellow lava.
Bottom: Green hills sitting on a Cyan water base.

The "Danger Zones" here are the Yellow lava pixels. There are only a few of them, but they are absolutely critical to finishing the image. Looking at your supply tray, you will see the Yellow cups are trapped at the very bottom of the central columns. If you play the left and right columns too aggressively, you’ll fill your 5-slot conveyor with Pinks and Oranges while the Yellows remain locked, forcing a restart.

Tackling the '6' Ice Blocks in Sand Loop Level 204

The specific obstacle defining Sand Loop Level 204 is the pair of White Ice Blocks labeled '6'.

These blocks are sitting squarely in the middle of your tray, effectively cutting off your supply of Yellow cups. The number '6' indicates durability or a countdown condition (usually requiring adjacent matches or clears to degrade). Until these are gone, your volcano cannot erupt.

These blocks force a very specific playstyle: Vertical Tunneling. You cannot just clear cups horizontally across the top. You have to focus your fire on the columns directly above these blocks (the Green, Cyan, and Pink cups in the center) to expose and destroy them.

The dependency chain here is brutal. The Yellow is dependent on the Ice Blocks, which are dependent on the messy middle stack. Here is how to dismantle it.

1. Excavating the Middle Columns

Ignore the tall, neat columns on the far left (Pink/Cyan) and far right (Orange/Purple) for a moment. Your eyes need to be on the messy center.

Start tapping the Green and Cyan cups in the central staggered formation.
You have a 5-slot capacity. Use it to pull only the cups that block the Ice Blocks.
The canvas needs Green for the hills and Cyan for the water/smoke immediately, so these pours will not be wasted. Get them onto the belt to start chipping away at the '6' counters.

2. Balancing the Horizon (Pink and Orange)

As you dig through the middle, you will hit layers of Pink.

The canvas requires a Pink strip across the middle.
Pull Pinks from the Left column only when you need to clear a slot on the conveyor, but prioritize the Pinks in the Middle column.
Why? Because the Left column Pinks aren't blocking anything critical. The Middle column Pinks are sitting on top of your Ice Blocks. Clear the blockers first. Passive columns can wait.

3. Smashing the Ice Blocks

Once the Green and Cyan "overburden" is gone from the center, the Ice Blocks will be exposed.

Continue matching adjacent colors to whittle down the '6' counter.
Be careful with the Orange cups. The right column is full of them. Do not flood the conveyor with Right-column Oranges yet. You need the conveyor clear to process the debris from the Ice Blocks.
If you clog the belt with 5 Orange cups now, you won't have space to break the locks.

4. The Magma Release

Once the Ice Blocks shatter, the Yellow cups are finally free.

Now you can open the floodgates.
Send the Yellows up to finish the volcano peak.
At this stage, you can freely empty the Right column (Purple/Orange) to finish the sky and the mountain body.
The Purple cups for the sky are buried deep in the Right column, so once the Yellows are safe, you need to aggressively clear that Right side to finish the top of the artwork.

Summary: The trap in Sand Loop 204 is playing the "easy" side columns first. Don't do it. Dig down the middle, break the '6' blocks, and the rest of the level plays itself.
