Sand Loop Level 99 Guide: The Synthwave Sunset Puzzle

Sand Loop Level 99 throws you into a retro aesthetic with a Synthwave Sunset scene. This isn't a speed level where you smash ice mindlessly. It is a strict logic level defined by a constrained supply chain. You have limited slots (5 total) and a supply tray that is locked behind heavy ice blocks and specific key triggers. The hook here is the bottom-heavy deadlock: your most important colors (Orange and Purple) are buried under layers of Pink cups and Ice Blocks that require high-volume clearing.

Sand Loop Level 99 Solution: The Retro Mountain

Looking at the target canvas, you are painting a classic vaporwave-style landscape.

Color Palette Deep Dive: The level demands four specific colors: Deep Purple (base mountains), Hot Pink (highlights and sky), Orange (mid-sky/sun), and Yellow (upper sky strips).
The "Danger Zones": The biggest risk is the mountain range at the bottom. The purple mountains have jagged pink highlights. If you pour pink too early while trying to fill the purple base, you will ruin the silhouette. The sky is striped (Orange/Pink/Yellow layers), meaning you cannot just dump one color continuously; you have to pulse your pours.
Fill Order Prediction: You absolutely must establish the Purple Mountain Base first. The sand falls from top to bottom, filling the lower canvas first. In Sand Loop logic, this means the bottom-most visual element (the mountains) needs to be addressed before you worry about the intricate sky stripes.

Tackling the "Key-Ice" Dependency in Sand Loop Level 99

The supply tray in Sand Loop Level 99 is a nightmare of dependencies.

The Left Key: There is a golden key on the left side, locked behind a Blue Ice Block (9). This key is crucial because it likely unblocks the left-side reserves of orange/yellow cups.
The Right Key: A second key sits on the right, blocked by a Blue Ice Block (15).
The Bottom Ice Wall: The very bottom of the tray is sealed with massive ice blocks labeled 22, 18, and 18. This is your endgame supply. You cannot reach these until you clear the upper layers.

The specific obstacle here is the Slot Choke. You only have 5 slots. The tray is clogged with Pink cups on top. If you pull 5 Pink cups onto the conveyor to clear space, you might not have enough target area to paint them, causing a jam. You must clear cups only as fast as you can paint them.

Sand Loop Level 99 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This level requires patience. Do not rush the conveyor.

1. Clearing the Top Layer (Pink & Orange)

Your first moves are dictated by the top row of the supply tray. You have Pink and Orange cups immediately available.

Load Pink cups first. The mountain highlights and lower sky need pink.
Watch the canvas. As the sand falls, it will start filling the lower sections. Aim to clear the Pink cups sitting directly on top of the Ice Block (9) on the left and the Ice Block (15) on the right.
Do not pull Purple cups yet unless you have a clear shot at the mountain base. You need to burn through the "trash" cups covering the ice blocks.

2. Cracking the Left Ice Block (9)

Focus your efforts on the left side first. The Ice Block (9) is weaker than the right side (15).

Prioritize matching colors adjacent to this block. Every time you clear a cup touching the ice, the number drops.
Once the Left Key is exposed and collected, it will trigger a mechanism (usually unblocking a rail or opening a new section of the tray).
Warning: Keep 1 slot open on your conveyor belt at all times during this phase. If the key triggers a flood of cups, you need space to catch them.

3. Establishing the Purple Base

By now, you should have access to the Purple cups in the middle layers.

The bottom of the picture is heavy Purple. Start loading Purple cups in bursts of 2 or 3.
Let them pour fully. The sand needs to settle at the absolute bottom of the frame to create the solid mountain foundation.
If you pour Orange or Yellow now, it will settle behind or mixed with the mountain, ruining the crisp pixel edge. Purple must go first.

4. The Sky Striping Technique

Once the purple mountains are solid, you move to the sky. This is the hardest part of Sand Loop Level 99.

The sky alternates: Orange -> Pink -> Yellow strips.
Do not put Orange, Pink, and Yellow cups on the belt back-to-back without gaps.
Load an Orange cup. Let it pour. Wait for a gap. Load a Pink cup.
If you cluster them, the colors will blend into a muddy mess instead of distinct retro stripes.

5. The Endgame: Breaking the Bottom Ice (22/18/18)

You will likely run out of easy cups before the picture is done. You must crack the bottom heavy ice blocks (22, 18, 18).

These blocks usually hide the final reserves of Yellow and Orange needed for the top of the sun.
You don't need to break all of them. Focus on the one blocking the color you are missing (usually the middle one for Orange/Purple reserves).
Spam matches next to these blocks aggressively. Speed matters here only to cycle the conveyor, but keep your eye on the "5/5" slot limit. If you jam here, you restart.
