Key Moments and Actions
| Time | Scene | Action | Common Error | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00:01 | Level loads, showing a red-roofed house and green hill pattern, with a physical barrier in the center. | Start pouring white and green sand to fill the sky and hill outlines. | Pouring red sand too early, causing it to accumulate wastefully above the barrier. | 95% |
| 01:21 | Sand flow precisely touches the gold key icon at the bottom through the central pipe. | Observe the central horizontal physical barrier (Barrier) disappear. | Unstable sand flow speed causes missing the key's sensing area. | 100% |
| 03:01 | Entering the final filling stage, mainly for the house roof. | Pour the final red sand source, filling the roof progress bar to 100%. | Red sand balance is extremely low (only 4 units remaining), requiring each bucket to be precisely aimed at the drop point. | 90% |
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 2: Trigger the key mechanism
Pour sand into the conveyor bucket, guiding it to flow into the thinnest central vertical pipe until it touches the gold key.
The red line labeled 'Barrier' in the center of the screen disappears, and the path is cleared.
Step 3: Complete the main structure
Switch to red sand source to fill the roof, yellow to fill the walls, and use remaining colors to fill edge gaps.
Pattern completeness reaches 100%, triggering the trophy effect.
Common Failures and Fixes
Gold key not triggered
Fix: Sand must physically pass through the narrowest central vertical channel; any deviation in the drop point will prevent unlocking.
Evidence Time: 01:21
Insufficient key color (red)
Fix: Only 4 units of red sand are available; it must be poured only after the barrier is unlocked, and must be aimed precisely at the roof.
Evidence Time: 03:05
Variant Notes
Barrier position may shift up or down in some versions
Adaptation: Prioritize observing the gold key path to ensure all physical barriers are cleared as soon as possible.
Quick FAQ
Q: Why is my sand always stuck in the middle?
A: Because there's a physical barrier in the center. You must first let the sand flow to the gold key icon at the bottom to unlock it.
Q: What if I don't have enough red sand?
A: Red sand is a limited resource in this level; its use is strictly prohibited before unlocking. After unlocking, only click the red sand ball when the bucket is directly above the roof.
