Sand Loop Level 358 Guide: The Beach Castle Puzzle

This level features a pixel art rendition of a Beach Castle. It's not a frantic speed challenge like the "ice breaker" stages, but rather a classic logic puzzle. The difficulty spikes because of the specific cup arrangement in the tray—you have a lot of colors mixed tightly together, and very limited slots (5 max) on the conveyor belt. One wrong move with the ropes or mystery cups, and you'll jam the belt.

Color Palette:

Yellow: Top sky band.
Cyan (Light Blue): Middle sky band.
Dark Blue: Ocean horizon line.
Pink & Purple: The castle structure itself (Pink is the highlight, Purple is the shadow).
Beige/White: The sandy beach at the bottom.

Sand Loop Level 358 Solution: Breaking Down the Castle

Looking at the pixel art, the filling order is deceptive. Usually, we paint bottom-up, but here the canvas is segmented horizontally.

Color Palette Deep Dive:

Yellow: Purely at the top. You need this early to clear the top of the canvas, but the cups are buried deep in the tray.
Pink/Purple: These are the "danger colors." They form the central castle tower. Notice the checkerboard pattern on the castle walls? That requires precise alternation between Pink and Purple. If you spam all Pink cups at once, you'll ruin the shadow detail.
Cyan/Dark Blue: These are background layers. They are easier to fill but take up prime real estate in the top row of your tray.

The "Danger Zones": The castle's windows and battlements (the top jagged edge) are detailed. The biggest risk in Sand Loop Level 358 is overfilling the background Cyan and washing out the top of the Purple castle tower. You need clean breaks between color pours.

Fill Order Prediction: You will likely be forced to clear the top-layer Blues first just to access the castle colors (Pink/Purple) underneath. However, the art actually wants the sand (Beige) and castle base filled early. This creates a conflict: the cups you need (Beige/Pink) are blocked by cups you don't need yet (Blue/Cyan). You have to burn through the top layer carefully.

Tackling the Roped Mystery Clusters in Sand Loop Level 358

The specific obstacle here isn't just a key or a lock; it's the Roped Mystery Clusters at the bottom sides of the tray.

Notice the ropes tying a Pink and a Beige cup together on both the left and right sides. These are critical. They are sitting on top of other cups, effectively locking the bottom corners.

The Trap: If you pull these roped bundles too early without space on the conveyor (remember, you only have 5 slots), you will clog the belt immediately.
The Mystery Cups: There are three Mystery (Grey with ?) cups visible. One is central, two are on the sides. In Sand Loop 358, these usually reveal crucial "bridge" colors like the Purple needed for the castle shadows. Treat them with caution—don't pop them unless you have a slot ready for whatever color comes out.

Sand Loop Level 358 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This level is about digging. You have to dig through the blues to get to the pinks and yellows.

Clearing the Top "Blue" Layer

Your tray starts with a heavy layer of Dark Blue and Cyan cups on top. The castle art needs these for the sky and ocean, but mostly in the upper half.

Tap the Top Row Blues: Start by tapping the Dark Blue and Cyan cups in the top row. Do this in pairs if possible (Dark Blue then Cyan) to clear space.
Don't Overfill: Watch the 0/5 counter. Keep it at 3/5 or 4/5. Do not hit 5/5 yet. You need the belt moving to process the sand.
Target the Horizon: These initial blue pours will fill the ocean line behind the castle.

Unlocking the "Castle Colors" (Purple/Pink)

Once the top row of blues is thinned out, you expose the second row: mostly Purple and Pink.

The Purple/Pink Rhythm: Now you are building the castle walls. Tap a Purple, then a Pink. Let them pour.
The Mystery Cup Reveal: The side Mystery cups often hide extra Purple or Pink paint. Tap them now while you are focused on the castle structure. If they reveal Purple, get it on the belt immediately to fill the castle windows.

Handling the Roped Bundles

By now, you should have cleared the middle section, exposing the Roped Bundles (Pink + Beige) on the lower left and right.

Timing the Sand: The Beige cup in the rope bundle is for the beach at the very bottom.
Pull the Rope: Tap the rope knot. This releases both the Pink and Beige cups.
Order Matters: Since the belt moves left-to-right (usually), ensure the Beige cup hits the canvas when the nozzle is over the bottom "sand" section. If you are late, the sand will pour over your nice purple castle.

The Final Yellow Sky

The Yellow cups are buried at the very bottom of the central column.

Dig Deep: You have to clear the central column of Pink/Purple cups to reach the Yellows.
Finish Strong: Once the castle and ocean are done, the top of the canvas (the sun/sky) is the only thing left. Spam the Yellow cups rapidly to finish the level. Because Yellow is the top layer, it’s safe to pour it last—it won’t cover anything important.
