Step-by-step solution
- 1) Open by carefully feeding just enough White marbles from the outer 9-marble clusters to top off the active White Boxes, then pause and let them clear.
- 2) Ignore the Dark Green cluster entirely during the opening, since dropping it would flood your belt with dead weight, and instead fill the second-column Light Blue Box from the inner right Light Blue cluster.
- 3) Wait for the grey Mystery Boxes behind the front row to slide forward, and pause on the top board until you see what colors the new Boxes require.
- 4) Match the revealed Mystery Boxes using the scattered Yellow, Pink, and Purple marbles in the second row, poking the top grey ? blocks one at a time to plan a route.
- 5) Finally offload the massive Dark Green cluster once Green Boxes have cycled up from the bottom in the midgame.
- 6) Watch the numbered blue Tunnels tick down from 2 and 3, keeping at least two empty belt spaces to absorb the marbles they spit out.
- 7) As the back rows slide up, spot the linked combos such as White/Purple and Green/Yellow, hold the matching top marbles, and pour them in evenly to clear each pair fast.
- 8) Once the linked pairs are cleared, send whatever lingers in the rear blue pipes into the last remaining receivers to close out the level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 284?
The biggest mistake is tapping colors that have no active bottom Box yet. They park on your Conveyor Belt and burn limited slots, so clear the shades that actually have receivers first.
How should I open Level 284?
Ignore the upper layers and aim at the bottom row of the Top Tray. Feed the colors that already have open boxes, then work upward once the lower lanes shift.
When does the midgame color change happen in Level 284?
After the opening boxes fall, the lower columns swap what they demand. Watch for the new shades and only pull blocks that match a box sitting at the front of a lower lane.
Any tip for finishing Level 284 clean?
Keep at least a few empty belt slots before poking mystery or hidden boxes. Feed a revealed color the moment it matches an active box, and fall back to visible marbles when the belt gets tight.
