Level: 1036 — a pixel-art blue whale wearing a WHALE sign, painted on a wooden board

How the Level Works

1. Tap a color block in the bottom queue to send it into one of the five slots above. The queue runs left to right and only the front block of each column is lit; the dimmed blocks behind it unlock as the queue advances.

2. Ants of that color pour out of the hole and eat every reachable pixel of the matching color on the whale; the number printed on the block counts down as pixels are eaten. At 0 the block vanishes and frees its slot.

3. Some blocks arrive wrapped in cloth. They land as a blank, cloth-wrapped cube and a knife cuts them open a moment later to reveal the real color and number — steps 4, 10 and 12 below.

4. Pixels can be walled in. A block can sit almost motionless for a minute or more while its remaining pixels are buried under other colors. Magenta ×10 (step 3) sits in slot 3 for 88 seconds — that is the level's signature stall, not a bug.

5. Eat the entire whale to win. One clean run takes 1:59, and the order below clears it without a single wasted tap.

Colors in this level: White (the WHALE sign panel and the belly highlight stripes), Blue (the whale's head, back, body block, tail and the banner letters), Cyan (the belly band with its vertical baleen stripes and the tail fin), Charcoal (the dark outline that encloses the whale and every stripe inside it), Magenta (the single oval cheek patch).

The very last pixel to fall is Cyan — block 37 (Cyan ×30, placed at 1:54) is still running when everything else has emptied, and the whale goes completely clear at 1:59.

Pro Tips

1. Do not wait for the stuck blocks. Magenta ×10 (step 3) parks in slot 3 from 0:03 all the way to 1:31 — 88 seconds — because the cheek patch is walled in by blue. White ×25 (step 9) holds slot 1 for 45 seconds from 0:42. Feed the other colors around them instead of waiting.

2. Feed the three cloth-wrapped blocks early. They land as a blank cloth cube and only open a moment later (steps 4, 10 and 12). Landing them while other blocks are still draining hides that delay completely.

3. Blue and Cyan alternate almost one for one. 21 of the 38 blocks are one of these two colors, and they own the biggest connected areas — keep at least one of each in a slot at all times.

4. Charcoal is the outline color. It is a thin shell of dark pixels around the whale and every stripe, so it drains slowly and frees its slot late. Never leave it as your only remaining block.

5. The endgame is fast. From 1:38 to 1:54 the board goes from half full to almost empty: nine blocks land in sixteen seconds and only the outline and the last cyan specks are left.

6. The finale belongs to cyan. Cyan ×30 (step 37) placed at 1:54 is the last block still running, next to the White ×25 of step 38. The whale goes completely clear at 1:59.
