Step-by-step solution
- 1) For your opening, ignore the dimpled Blue, Yellow, and Purple blocks sitting at the bottom left, and instead poke the dimpled Red block at the bottom right of the Top Tray so its Red marbles stream into the middle Boxes that are waiting for them.
- 2) Poke the dimpled Light Pink block that sits beside it and park that one on the Conveyor Belt for now, then take the Green block out of the far-right outer column and let it fall into one of your starting Green Boxes.
- 3) Take the last Red block from the far-right column and use it to complete the front-line Red Boxes, which lets the second layer drop down and reveals fresh Blue and Pink Boxes for you to feed.
- 4) For the midgame, hold off until a Yellow Box becomes active on the bottom, then poke the Yellow block resting under the bottom key so that lock shatters and the hidden Purple and Orange come free.
- 5) Move your attention to the far-left outer column, poke the dimpled Blue block down at the bottom-left edge once your Blue Boxes are live, and work down that lane to pick up the Light Pink and Purple blocks waiting there.
- 6) Feed the Orange marbles you just freed to drop the middle key, and whenever a shade is hidden underneath the top lock, keep its matching color off the belt for the time being.
- 7) Keep cycling the bottom boxes until a Red Box appears again, then drop the final Red block to release the top barrier, flush the leftover middle blocks, and finish by tapping the White blocks in the top-left and top-right corners.
