Level: 1165 — a pixel-art red-and-orange pagoda against a blue sky, standing on green grass

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 in four independent columns; a column scrolls up when its own front block is taken.
2. Ants of that color pour out of the hole and eat every reachable pixel of the matching color on the picture; the number printed on the block counts down while they work. At 0 the block vanishes and frees its slot.
3. Slot 5 starts chained shut. A padlock-and-chain cross sits on the fifth slot for the whole first minute; scissors cut the chain at 1:02 and the slot is usable from 1:03. The first block to use it (Sand x21, step 14) lands at 1:08.
4. Two blocks arrive wrapped in cloth. They land as a blank, string-tied parcel with no number, and a knife cuts them open a moment later to reveal the real color and value — steps 30 (Dark grey x150) and 38 (Dark grey x99) below. Both are the biggest blocks of the level.
5. Some queued blocks hide their number behind a padlock. The padlock rides up its column with the block and springs open with a small key animation when it is unlocked (the last one, in queue column 4, opens at 2:44), so you sometimes have to tap a block whose value you cannot read yet.
6. The number can change once a block lands. A block starts eating while it is still flying, so the value it shows in the queue is 1-3 higher than the value it shows when it settles. Steps 10, 18 and 21 are the extreme cases: they read 25, 21 and 25 in the queue and settle at 83, 72 and 122.
7. Pixels can be walled in. A block can sit almost motionless for minutes while its remaining pixels are buried under other colors. The Red x83 of step 10 parks in slot 2 from 1:00 until 5:44 — four minutes and forty-four seconds — and the Orange x122 of step 21 holds slot 4 from 2:42 until 5:55. That is the level's signature grind, not a bug.
8. Eat the entire picture to win. One clean run takes 6:04, and the order below clears it without a single wasted tap.

| 40 | 5:55 | 🟩 Green | 42 |
| 41 | 5:56 | 🟫 Rust | 32 |
| 42 | 5:59 | 🟨 Sand | 8 |

The very last block you place is Sand x8 at 5:59, but the finishing work belongs to the Green x42 fed at 5:55 and the Dark grey x99 parcel of 5:26: they keep the last few cells on the board, and one lone dark speck is still visible when the picture empties at 6:04.

Pro Tips
1. Do not wait for the two monsters. Red x83 (step 10) lands at 1:00 and does not free slot 2 until 5:44; Orange x122 (step 21) lands at 2:42 and holds slot 4 until 5:55. From 2:42 to 5:44 only three slots recycle, so feed every short block into slots 1, 3 and 5.
2. Open slot 5 as early as you can. It is chained from 0:00 to 1:02, so the first minute is played with four slots. Sand x21 (step 14) is the first block that goes in — feed it the moment the chain breaks at 1:03.
3. Both cloth parcels are Dark grey. Step 30 opens into Dark grey x150 (4:04, the largest block of the level) and step 38 into Dark grey x99 (5:26). They are indistinguishable from each other while still wrapped, so land the first one as soon as slot 5 clears at 4:03.
4. Save the Dark grey parcels for the outline. Dark grey is the pagoda's whole outline — 10161 pixels at the start, by far the biggest single color — so the two parcels do the heavy lifting late in the run. Any Dark grey block placed before 4:00 will stall in its slot.
5. Watch the fast drains. White x63 (step 2), Teal x51 (step 1) and Mauve x24 (step 6) empty in seconds, but White x55 (step 5) then sits in slot 1 from 0:18 to 1:00 and Orange x25 (step 11) holds slot 1 from 1:02 to 2:14 — two long waits you should plan the queue around.
6. Green and Blue carry the endgame. Seven Green blocks and four Blue blocks are fed after 2:18; the grass, the sky band and the pagoda roof are the last large areas to go.
7. Finale. The last three blocks are Green x42 (5:55), Rust x32 (5:56) and Sand x8 (5:59). The board is empty at 6:04 and the Level Complete screen appears at 6:06.
