Food Hunt Level 979 Walkthrough & Answers

Level: 979 - a pixel-art green frog on a sandy beach, mouth wide open, with a purple-and-magenta patterned body and a thick green rope lasso that loops up into the top-right corner

How the Level Works

1. Tap a color block in the bottom queue to send it into one of the five slots above the hole. The queue runs in four independent columns, three blocks visible each; a column scrolls up only 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. The queue thins out as it empties. A spent column disappears and the survivors re-centre, so the level runs on four columns until about 1:16, on three through the middle, and on a single column from about 3:18 to the end.

4. Pixels can be walled in. A block can sit with a handful of pixels left for two and a half minutes while the rest of its color is buried under other colors. That is normal - the pixels fall the moment the blocking color is gone.

5. Eat the entire picture to win. There is no move limit, so the order below only decides how fast the five slots recycle. One clean run takes 3:54.

Complete Block Order (Which Color First, Then Which)

Timestamps are when the block lands in a slot. Count is the number printed on the block as it lands. The numbers below run in tap order, not by slot: each of the five slots refills many times.

Phase 1 - The Opening Five (0:03 - 0:06.5)

Phase 2 - The Big White Block (0:10.5 - 0:24.5)

Phase 3 - Green and White Together (0:28 - 0:35.5)

Phase 4 - Five Blocks in One Second (0:51 - 0:52)

Phase 5 - Teal, Red and Cyan (0:57 - 1:10)

Phase 6 - Cyan, Dark Grey, Green, Blue (1:16 - 1:25)

Phase 7 - White, Purple, Red, Teal, Green (1:34 - 1:47)

Phase 8 - Blue, Tan, White, Blue, Orange (1:51.5 - 2:10)

Phase 9 - The Long Blue and the Last White (2:19.5 - 2:48.5)

Phase 10 - Teal, Red, Purple, White (2:57.5 - 3:03.5)

Phase 11 - The Last Orange and Yellow (3:04.5 - 3:17)

Phase 12 - The Final Queue (3:18 - 3:30.5)

Phase 13 - The Final Six (3:31.5 - 3:47.5)

The very last pixel to fall is White: White 48 (step 64, 3:30.5) holds slot 5 for the last 22 seconds, and the board is completely empty at 3:54.5. The Level Complete screen appears one second later at 3:55.5.

Pro Tips

1. Keep all five slots full. The picture is cleared by volume, not by order, so the only real waste is an idle slot: the moment a block finishes, tap the next one from whichever queue column is ready. The cheap slot-fillers are Yellow 7, Mauve 6, Orange 3, Orange 1 and the small Dark grey blocks.

2. Mauve 6 (step 19, 0:51.5) is the level's signature stall. It lands in slot 3, drains 6 → 5 → 4 in a few seconds, and then sits frozen at 4 until 3:15.5 - it holds slot 3 for 144 seconds, which is the whole middle of the level. From 0:51.5 to 3:15.5 you are playing with four slots, so plan the mid-game around it.

3. Two more blocks hold a slot for over a minute. Green 29 (step 37, 1:47) freezes in slot 5 until 2:55 (68 seconds), and Green 17 (step 42, 2:09.5) freezes in slot 2 until 3:28.5 (79 seconds). Orange 3 (step 45, 2:20) holds slot 4 until 2:56 as well. Do not read a frozen number as a bug.

4. White and Blue carry the picture. White is 393 pixels over 7 blocks and Blue 383 over 10 blocks - together they are 41% of the board. White 88 (step 7, 0:15) is the biggest single block of the level; the three heavy Blue blocks (Blue 55 step 20, Blue 53 step 48, Blue 50 step 57) all land after the outline is open and drain fast.

5. Cyan is the third-largest color (307 pixels over 9 blocks) and recycles quickly, so it is the best color to keep a slot moving while the greens and mauves are stuck.

6. The queue runs dry. It starts on four columns, drops to three at about 1:16, and by about 3:18 there is a single column left - from then on every tap comes from that one column, so you cannot choose a color any more, only take what is next.

7. The last 40 seconds are pure waiting. Nothing new lands after 3:47.5 (step 70): Green 10, Mauve 10, Red 19, White 48, Cyan 41, Blue 42 and Dark grey 40 are all still on the board, and the picture does not finish emptying until 3:54.5.

8. Finale. The last block you place is Dark grey 40 at 3:47.5, but the last pixel on the board is White, eaten at 3:54.5. The Level Complete screen follows at 3:55.5 - no failed taps, no wasted moves.
