Sand Loop Level 223 Guide: The Sunset Cat Puzzle

Sand Loop Level 223 introduces a vibrant, multi-layered pixel art piece I call the "Sunset Cat." It features a dark red silhouette of a cat sitting on a brick wall, overlooking sandy dunes and a pink sky.

This is a Logic Level, not a speed run. The challenge isn't the ice or the timer; it's the sheer number of colors involved. You are juggling seven distinct colors (White, Orange, Cyan, Purple, Yellow, Pink, Dark Red) in a very tight tray. One wrong move can clog your conveyor belt with a color you don't need yet, forcing a restart.

Sand Loop Level 223 Solution: The Asymmetrical Canvas

While the tray setup is perfectly symmetrical, the art is not. Understanding the "zones" of the canvas is critical before you tap a single cup.

Zone 1: The Sky (Pink & Cyan): The background is dominated by a hot pink sky with two small cyan clouds.
Zone 2: The Sun (White): A large white circle in the top left.
Zone 3: The Dunes (Yellow, Orange, White): The bottom left corner is a mix of sandy tones.
Zone 4: The Brick Wall (Cyan & Purple): The bottom right is a structured pattern of blue bricks with purple mortar.
Zone 5: The Cat (Dark Red): The focal point. The cat sits on the wall on the right side.

The Danger Zone: The "Brick Wall" in the bottom right. It requires a precise alternation of Cyan and Purple. If you spam all your blue cups at once, you’ll ruin the mortar pattern.

Tackling the "Vertical Color Segregation" in Sand Loop Level 223

The specific obstacle in Sand Loop Level 223 is how the tray sorts colors vertically. If you look closely at the bottom tray, the columns are segregated by object type, which is your cheat sheet for solving this.

Center Column: Contains White cups separated by gray stone spacers. These are primarily for the Sun and high-contrast highlights.
Inner Columns (2 & 4): These are stacked exclusively with Cyan and Purple. These columns exist solely to build the Brick Wall and the Clouds.
Outer Columns (1 & 5): These hold the Yellows, Oranges, Pinks, and Reds. This is where you get your Sand Dunes, Sky, and the Cat.

The trap is thinking you can just clear one column at a time. You can't. You have to "stripe" your play, pulling from the inner columns for the wall while simultaneously chipping away at the outer columns to find the red cups for the cat.

Sand Loop Level 223 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Extracting the Sun and Dune Tops

Your first moves should focus on the top-most layer to open up the board.

Tap the Center White Cup first. This will start filling the large sun in the top left.
Immediately after, tap the top Orange/Yellow cups in the far left and right columns. These belong to the tops of the sand dunes.
Do not touch the Cyan/Purple columns yet. Let the sand and sun settle first.

2. Establishing the Brick Wall Pattern

Once the top layer is clear, you will expose the heavy stacks of Cyan and Purple in columns 2 and 4.

The bottom right of the image is the brick wall. Look at the pattern: it’s mostly Cyan blocks separated by thin Purple lines.
Load your conveyor with a pattern: Cyan, Cyan, Purple, Cyan.
Keep a close eye on the "clouds" in the sky. They also use Cyan. If the wall is finished, stop sending blue cups until the pink sky fills in around the cloud area.

3. Digging for the Cat (The Red Cup Problem)

This is where most players get stuck in Sand Loop Level 223. The Dark Red cups needed for the cat are buried at the very bottom of the outer columns (1 and 5).

You must aggressively clear the Pink and Yellow cups sitting on top of the red ones.
Send the Pink cups to fill the sky background.
Send the Yellow cups to finish the bottom-left dunes.
Only once those columns are nearly empty will you have access to the Dark Red cups. Do not try to force the cat early; you literally cannot reach the cups yet.

4. The Final Pink Flood

Toward the end of the level, you will likely have a few gaps left in the sky.

The outer columns have a lot of Pink cups near the bottom.
Once the intricate details (Cat, Wall, Dunes) are done, you can safely spam the remaining Pink cups to flood the background and complete the masterpiece. Ensure the conveyor has 1 empty slot at all times so you don't deadlock on the final pour.
