Sand Loop Level 216 Guide: The Hot Air Balloon Puzzle

This isn't a speed level; it's a strict sequencing test. You are painting a Hot Air Balloon scene, featuring a split-color balloon (Purple/Lime) floating over a Pink road and Green fields.

The hook here is the Vertical Conflict. The tray offers you Purple cups immediately in the top row, but the Purple paint is only needed for the balloon at the very top of the canvas. If you pour Purple now, you ruin the road. If you don't pick them up, you can't reach the cups underneath. You have to juggle.

Sand Loop Level 216 Solution: The Split Symmetry

The canvas fills from the bottom up, meaning your priority list is strictly determined by gravity:

Road & Grass (Bottom): The base is a wide Pink wedge flanked by Dark Green.
The Horizon: The road narrows, and the sky (Cyan) begins to appear on the edges.
The Balloon & Sky (Top): This is where the Purple finally comes into play, along with the Yellow/Green split of the balloon and the Yellow clouds.

The "Danger Zones":

The Yellow Road Dashes: There are tiny yellow dashes in the middle of the pink road. You need to sneak a Yellow cup into your pour sequence early on, or the road will look like a solid pink blob.
The Purple Trap: As mentioned, Purple is available instantly but needed last. This is the main mechanic of Level 216.

Tackling the "Ice Blocks" in Sand Loop Level 216

The screenshot shows two Ice Blocks marked with the number 4. These are situated in the third row, guarding the massive stash of Cyan (Sky) and Green cups.

These blocks are "Countdown Locks." They only break after you clear 4 cups adjacent to them. You cannot access the bottom half of the tray until these shatter. This forces you to clear the top two rows aggressively, even if the colors aren't perfect for your current pour. You have to clear the Pinks and Purples above them to tick that counter down to zero.

Sand Loop Level 216 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. The "Storage" Strategy

Your conveyor belt has 5 slots. You need to use them as storage.

The top row has Purple cups in the center. You cannot pour these yet—they belong to the balloon.
However, they are blocking the Pink cups in the second row, which you need right now for the road.
The Move: Tap the Purple cups to put them on the conveyor belt. Do not pour them. Just let them ride the loop. This consumes 2 of your 5 slots, leaving you with 3 working slots. This is uncomfortable but necessary to unblock the layer below.

2. Building the Base (Grass and Road)

With the Purples circling harmlessly on your belt:

Focus on the Green cups on the far edges and the Pink cups you just unearthed in the second row.
Pour the Green cups to fill the bottom left and right corners.
Pour the Pink cups to fill the center triangle.
Watch for Yellow: Keep an eye out for a Yellow cup in the stack. You need to drop a small amount of yellow in the dead center of the pink road for the lane markers. If you miss this, the level fails 100%.

3. Cracking the Ice

As you pull Pinks and Greens from the sides to paint the ground, the Ice Block counters will drop. Once they hit zero, the blocks shatter, revealing the Cyan cups.

Do not panic-pour the Cyan. The sky doesn't start until the grass is about 50% up the screen.
Continue prioritizing Green until the horizon line is flat.

4. The Sky and The Release

Once the grass and road are finished, the canvas is ready for the sky.

Now you can finally pour those Cyan cups you unlocked.
The Release: Remember those Purple cups you've been holding hostage on your belt since Step 1? Now is their time. As the sand level reaches the balloon shape, pour the Purples on the left side and mix in Yellow/Green on the right side.
Finish off with the Yellow cups for the clouds in the top corners.

Summary: Hold the Purples, dig for Pinks, break the Ice, and only pour the sky when the ground is solid.
