Sand Loop Level 351 Guide: The "Valentine Cat" Puzzle

Level 351 features a charming, yet tricky pixel art piece: a golden-orange cat face with pink accents (ears, cheeks) and a floating pink heart, set against a diagonally striped blue and cyan background. Don't let the cute face fool you. This is a Logic Level disguised as a casual one. The constraints are tight (only 5 conveyor slots) and the supply tray is heavily barricaded with Ice Blocks and Rope-bound stacks. You can't just spam cups here; you have to surgically remove the blockers.

The color palette is specific:

Orange: The primary fill for the cat's face.
Cyan: The lighter stripes in the background.
Dark Blue: The darker stripes in the background.
Pink: The heart above the head and the blush on the cheeks.
Dark Red: The small details for the eyes and mouth (these are dangerous).

Sand Loop Level 351 Solution: analyzing the "Valentine Cat"

Look closely at the canvas in Sand Loop 351. The fill order is not what you might expect. Usually, you paint background first, but here, the cat's face is central and large.

Color Palette Deep Dive: You are juggling five distinct colors. The Orange takes up the most "sand volume" in the center. The Cyan and Dark Blue create a striped pattern that requires alternating pours—if you mess up the rhythm, you'll paint over your stripes. The Pink is isolated in the top center and small cheek patches.

The "Danger Zones": The real threat in Sand Loop Level 351 is the Dark Red (Maroon). It's used only for the tiny eyes and mouth. These are incredibly small pixel counts. If you send a full Maroon cup down the line while the nozzle is over a large empty orange area, you might accidentally "waste" that color or, worse, paint the cat's face red. Conversely, if you miss the tiny timing window for the eyes, you'll have to wait for a full rotation, clogging your belt.

Fill Order Prediction: You will likely fill the Orange (face) and Cyan/Blue (background stripes) simultaneously in the early game. The Pink heart usually fills mid-game. The Dark Red details should be saved for precise moments when the nozzle is directly over the face center.

Tackling the [Ice Blockade] in Sand Loop Level 351

The primary obstacle in Sand Loop Level 351 isn't the painting itself—it's the supply tray layout. Look at the bottom half of your screen.

Roped Stacks: Both the far left and far right columns are bound by ropes. This means you cannot access the cups underneath (Cyan/Pink on left, Blue/Cyan on right) until the top cup is used.
Ice Blocks: There are heavy Ice Blocks with high HP counts: 27, 18, 15, 25.
The "9" Box: There is a golden box with a count of 9 blocking the bottom center.

This specific obstacle setup forces a "U-shape" playstyle. You have to work from the top-center outwards. You have extremely limited access to the cups you actually need for the background stripes until you break those massive Ice blocks (27 and 18).

Victory here depends on managing your 5-slot capacity. If you pull too many cups that don't match the current nozzle position, you will gridlock the conveyor.

1. Breaking the Initial Ice (The Top Row)

Your first moves are dictated by the free cups. You have an Orange cup and a Dark Blue cup available immediately on top of the Ice Blocks (top left and top right of the inner formation).

Tap the Orange Cup (top left of center) immediately. It sits on a "27" block. Using it counts as a hit against the ice.
Tap the Dark Blue Cup (top right of center). This sits on the "18" block.
Tap the center Cyan Cup. This sits directly on the "9" chest.
Crucial: Do not pull the Roped cups on the far edges yet. You need to clear the inner "U" shape first to get consistent flow.

2. The Rope Release Strategy

Once you have cleared the initial top-layer cups, the Roped stacks on the far left (Orange top) and far right (Magenta top) become vital.

The Orange cup on the left is safe to pull almost anytime, as the cat face is large. Pull it to free the Cyan cup underneath.
The Magenta (Pink) cup on the right is tricky. The heart is higher up on the canvas. Only pull this when the nozzle is approaching the top half of the painting. If you pull it too early, it will ride the conveyor uselessly, taking up one of your precious 5 slots.

3. Cracking the "9" Chest

The golden chest in the bottom center requires 9 adjacent matches or clears. You need to aggressively use the Cyan and Dark Red cups sitting near it.

Prioritize clearing the cups directly touching the chest.
Once the chest opens, it usually unleashes a necessary burst of sand or a power-up that helps clear the remaining high-HP ice blocks (the 25 and 15 at the bottom).

4. Finishing the Stripes (Blue/Cyan Management)

The end-game of Sand Loop Level 351 is often just alternating Blue and Cyan for the background.

Watch the nozzle. As it moves diagonally, you need to alternate your cup inputs. Blue, Cyan, Blue, Cyan.
If you see the nozzle moving over a "completed" stripe color, hold your tap. Wait for the nozzle to cross into the unpainted stripe territory. Patience saves you from wasted pours.

5. The Final Red Details

Save the Dark Red cups for last if possible, or use them only when you are 100% sure the eyes/mouth are the active target. Since the eyes are tiny, a single Red cup often fills them completely. Don't queue up three Red cups; one is likely enough.
