Sand Loop Level 164 Solution

Step 1: Create a continuous path for the ball to collect the first two stars and initiate a loop.

From the ball's drop point (00:03), draw a smooth, downward curving line that guides the ball under the platform containing the first star, then upwards and around to collect the second star, leading it into a circular path that passes the initial bucket opening.

The ball successfully collects the first two stars (00:05, 00:09) and maintains momentum in a clear looping trajectory.

Step 2: Divert the looping ball to collect the third star and land in the bucket.

As the ball completes its first pass of the bucket area and begins ascending the right side of the loop (around 00:18), draw a new, shorter line that branches off the main loop. This line should guide the ball downwards to collect the third star (00:20) and then directly into the bucket (00:22).

The ball collects the third star and drops into the bucket, triggering the 'Level Clear!' screen (00:30).

Q: How do I make the ball go around the loop multiple times?

A: Draw a continuous, smooth path that keeps the ball moving in a circular motion. The ball's momentum will carry it through the loop until you draw a new path to divert it.

Q: When is the best time to draw the second line to get the third star and land in the bucket?

A: The best time is after the ball has completed its initial loop, specifically after it has passed the bucket entrance for the first time and is on the ascending side of the loop. This allows you to draw a new path to intercept it for the third star and the bucket.

Q: What's the optimal strategy to collect all three stars?

A: First, create a path to collect the initial two stars and establish a stable loop. Then, once the ball is looping consistently, draw a well-timed second path to break the loop, collect the third star, and direct the ball into the bucket.
