Sand Loop Level 255 Guide: The Yellow Tabby Cat Puzzle

Sand Loop Level 255 introduces us to a chunky, pixel-art "Yellow Tabby Cat." It’s cute, but don’t let the aesthetic fool you—this is a Supply Constraint level. While the art looks simple, the tray layout is designed to clog your conveyor belt with duplicates while hiding the specific accent colors you actually need.

The hook here is the Mystery Cup mechanic combined with Roped Bundles. You have a very tight belt capacity (5 slots), and the game forces you to gamble on mystery boxes to find the rare colors needed for the cat’s details.

Sand Loop Level 255 Solution: The Cat & Heart Canvas

Before you start tapping, look at the target image on the top screen. You are painting:

Primary Fill: A massive amount of Yellow (the cat’s body) and Cyan (the background).
Accents: Dark Purple (eyes and nose), Red (outline/shadows), and Pink (the heart).

The Danger Zones: The biggest mistake players make on Sand Loop Level 255 is spamming the Yellow and Cyan cups too fast. Because the cat is mostly yellow, you will feel productive dumping yellow sand. However, the Red outline and Purple eyes are small details that often interrupt the big fills. If your belt is full of 5 Yellow cups but the nozzle switches to needing Red, you are deadlocked. You must keep 2 slots open at all times for those sudden color switches.

Fill Order Prediction: The game will prioritize the bottom-up fill. This means the cat’s paws (Red/Yellow) and the bottom background (Cyan) come first. The tricky Pink heart is last, located at the top right.

Tackling the Roped Columns in Sand Loop Level 255

The specific obstacle that defines Level 255 is the Vertical Rope Bind.

Look at the tray setup: there are two vertical ropes in the middle-left and middle-right columns. Each rope binds a Yellow cup to a Cyan cup below it. In many sand puzzle levels, ropes prevent you from picking a cup until the rope is cut. Here, the rope creates a dependency: you often cannot access the cups behind or below this bundle until the bundle itself is cleared or moved.

Worse, these ropes are flanked by Mystery Boxes (the black cups with question marks). These ‘?’ cups are dangerous variables. If you pull a Mystery Cup and it turns out to be a color you don't need yet (like Pink for the heart, which is at the very end), it sits on your belt, wasting one of your precious 5 slots for the entire round.

Sand Loop Level 255 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow this dependency chain to clear the board without jamming your slots.

1. Clearing the "Free" Top Row

Your first moves are scripted by the layout. The top row of the tray has exposed Cyan and Yellow cups on the far left and right.

Tap the Cyan cups first. The background usually fills alongside the bottom of the cat.
Tap the Yellow cups next.
Do not touch the Mystery Boxes yet. You need to verify if the nozzle is ready for the accent colors before you gamble on a mystery box. Keep your belt moving with known colors only.

2. Cracking the Mystery Mid-Game

Once the top layer is thinned out, you will hit a wall where you need Red for the cat's outline or Purple for the face features.

The requested colors are likely hiding inside the six Mystery Cups (Question Marks) sitting in the center columns.
Tap one Mystery Cup at a time. Do not tap three in a row. Tap one, see what color it reveals. If it matches the current nozzle demand, let it pour. If it’s a future color (like Pink), let it ride the loop, but don't pull another mystery cup until that slot is free again.
The goal is to prevent your 5-slot belt from becoming a parking lot for 5 unusable mystery colors.

3. Untying the Ropes

As you clear the Mystery Cups, the Roped Columns (Yellow/Cyan pairs) will become more accessible.

These are filler colors. Use them when the nozzle is demanding large patches of body or background.
Because they are basic colors (Cyan/Yellow), they are "safe" pulls. If you are stuck waiting for a specific color to pour, pulling a Roped Yellow cup is usually fine because the cat requires so much yellow sand eventually.

4. The Final Pink & Purple Polish

The bottom of the tray holds the Pink cups (bottom corners) and Purple cups (edges).

You will need the Purple for the eyes midway through the level. If you see Purple on the edges, prioritize getting them to the belt immediately so they don't get blocked by falling stacks.
Pink is for the heart in the top right corner. This is likely the very last thing you will paint. If you uncover a Pink cup early (from a mystery box or a lucky stack drop), it will be a nuisance. Just let it loop around until the end. Do not prioritize Pink until the cat’s head is finished.
