Sand Loop Level 272 Guide: The Pixel Squirrel Puzzle

This is a pure logic level. There aren't any gimmicky ice blocks or countdown timers rushing you, but the stacking puzzle in the tray is dense. The hook here is the bottom-up color dependency. You have a massive supply of Deep Blue cups blocking the sides, but you need to mix in specific pinks immediately to stop gaps from forming in the pixel art. The palette is deceptive because the "Light Pink" is used for both the creature's body and the very top sky, meaning you can't just burn through all your pinks in the middle phase.

Sand Loop Level 272 Solution: The Running Squirrel

The canvas features a pixel art Running Squirrel (or perhaps a cat) in profile.

• Deep Blue: This is your floor and the lower background. It dominates the bottom third of the image.
• Dark Pink (Magenta): Used sparingly for the squirrel’s feet and shadow details.
• Light Pink: The primary color for the squirrel's body and the strip of sky at the very top.
• Cyan & White: These make up the middle background (sky and clouds).

The Danger Zone: The squirrel's feet. They are Dark Pink, and they sit at the very bottom pixel line, right alongside the Deep Blue floor. If you ignore the single Dark Pink cup in the center of your tray, you will finish the blue background but leave "holes" where the feet should be. This desynchronizes your fill order and forces you to waste belt space later.

Fill Order Prediction:

1. Bottom Layer: Deep Blue (Background) + Dark Pink (Feet).
2. Middle Layer: Light Pink (Body) + Cyan (Sky) + White (Clouds).
3. Top Layer: Light Pink (Upper Sky).

Tackling the "Winged Stack" Obstacle in Sand Loop Level 272

The main obstacle isn't a locked gate; it's the Heavy Blue Wings. Look at your tray. The left and right columns are stacked three or four deep with Deep Blue cups. These stacks physically block the Light Pink and White cups underneath them.

The problem? The game tempts you to spam all those Blue cups onto the belt immediately because they are "available." Don't do it blindly. If you flood the belt with 5 Blue cups, you choke the system. You need to clear just enough Blue to expose the side Light Pinks, while simultaneously clearing the center Dark Pink to reach the Whites. If you leave the center column untouched, you will run out of valid moves for the middle section of the painting.

Sand Loop Level 272 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Establish the Floor (Blue & Dark Pink Mix)

Your first few moves must target the bottom of the canvas.

• Tap the Dark Pink cup sitting dead center in the top row. You need this immediately for the squirrel's feet.
• Tap two Deep Blue cups from the top corners (one left, one right).
• Why this order? This clears the top layer evenly. The sand will pour to fill the floor and the feet simultaneously. Do not overload the belt yet. Let these three cups process.

2. Unlocking the Cloud Layer

Once the top-center Dark Pink is gone, you have access to a vertical stack of White and Cyan cups in the middle column.

• The painting's middle section is complex: it mixes the squirrel's body (Light Pink) with clouds (White) and sky (Cyan).
• You need a diverse mix on the belt. Tap one White cup (center) and one Light Pink cup (now exposed on the second row, wings).
• Keep your belt count at 3/5 or 4/5. Never hit 5/5 here. You need flexibility to react if the painting needs a sudden burst of Cyan.

3. The Cyan Sky Transition

As the squirrel's body fills up, the demand shifts heavily to Cyan.

• The middle-to-lower tray is packed with Cyan cups. Once the White clouds are done, you need to stream these Cyan cups aggressively.
• Crucial Tip: Watch the top of the squirrel's head. It requires Light Pink. Ensure you don't burn your last Light Pink cup on the body if the head isn't finished. Save one Light Pink cup in reserve if the tray allows it.

4. The Final Strip

The very top of the image is a Light Pink stripe.

• Many players fail Level 272 because they use all their pink cups on the squirrel and forget the sky.
• Check the bottom of your side stacks. There should be buried Light Pink cups. Do not accidentally block these with a stray Blue or Cyan cup. Make sure you clear the path to these final pinks before you finish the Cyan sky, or you'll be stuck waiting for a color you can't reach.
