Sand Loop Level 227 Guide: The Night Sky Lilies Puzzle

This level features a nice pixel art rendition of what looks like Lily of the Valley flowers set against a starry night sky. Don't let the calm aesthetic fool you. This isn't a speed level where you smash ice; it is a Vertical Digging puzzle.

The hook here is the supply tray layout. The colors you desperately need for the focal points—White for the flowers and Orange for the stars—are buried three or four layers deep. You are forced to process a massive amount of Blue and Green "overburden" before you can even touch the main subjects of the art.

Sand Loop Level 227 Solution: Pixel Art Analysis

The image on the top screen dictates your rhythm.

• Dominant Blue Background: The dark blue sky takes up nearly 50% of the canvas. This is your "trash can." When you need to clear a Blue cup to reach something else, you usually have a safe spot to dump it in the sky.
• Massive Green Base: The leaves and stems are large, contiguous blocks at the bottom and right. Green cups are rarely wasted here because the target area is huge.
• The "Danger Zones" (Orange Stars): This is where you will lose. There are small yellow/orange crosses scattered in the sky. Looking at your tray, you only have two Orange cups visible in the fourth row. If you miss a timing window on these, you might not get another chance.
• Fill Order Prediction: The game will likely ask you to paint the Green leaves and Blue sky first, simply because those cups are on top of the stack. The White flowers will likely be the mid-game objective.

Tackling the [Alternating Column Stack] in Sand Loop Level 227

The specific obstacle in Level 227 is the Alternating Column Layout. Look at your supply tray. You have five vertical columns.

• Columns 1, 3, 5: Start with Blue, then Green underneath.
• Columns 2, 4: Start with Green, then Blue underneath.

The trap here is Conveyor Saturation. You have a capacity of 5 slots. If you need a White cup (located in Row 3, Column 2), you physically cannot touch it until you remove the Green cup (Row 1) and the Blue cup (Row 2) sitting on top of it.

If the current dispenser nozzle is only accepting Green paint, and you pull from Column 1 (Blue), that Blue cup will sit on your conveyor, clogging up a slot. Do this three times with the wrong color, and you have a deadlock. You must only dig in columns where the top cup matches the current active nozzle demand.

Sand Loop Level 227 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Clearing the Top Layer (The Blue/Green Weave)

Your first few moves are dictated entirely by the top row. The canvas requires both Blue (sky) and Green (leaves) right from the start.

1. Check the nozzle. If it's pouring Green for the leaves, tap Columns 2 and 4 immediately. These have Green on top.
2. If it switches to Blue for the sky, tap Columns 1, 3, and 5.
3. Do not try to "save" these cups. The art requires so much Blue and Green that you should clear this top layer aggressively to reveal the second layer.

Excavating the White Cups

Once the top layer is gone, you reach the critical mid-game.

1. You will spot White cups appearing in the third row of Columns 2 and 4. These are for the large flower heads.
2. The nozzle will shift focus to the center of the canvas. Watch the progress bar. When it highlights the white flower pixels, prioritize clearing Columns 2 and 4.
3. You might have to burn a Blue cup from the second row to get to the White. Since the sky is large, this is safe. Send the Blue cup, let it fill a patch of sky, and immediately grab the White cup behind it.

The Orange Star Finish

The trickiest part is the end game.

1. Orange cups are located deep in Row 4, on the far edges (Columns 1 and 5).
2. These correspond to the stars/crosses in the sky.
3. Timing is critical here. Because the stars are small, the nozzle only stays open for Orange for a split second.
4. Do not send the Orange cups immediately when they are unblocked. Wait for the dispenser to move near a star cluster. If you send them too early, they will loop around the conveyor without pouring, taking up valuable slots.
5. Send the Orange cups singly. Let one paint its star, then send the next.

Final Clean Up

The bottom row (Row 5) contains a mix of Blue and White. Use these to patch up any remaining holes in the sky or the second flower head. If you played the vertical stacks correctly, you should have exactly enough cups left to finish the image without overflowing.
