Sand Blocks level 288 solution
Work the yellow horizontal collectors below the shutter while shifting the white upright through the center. At eighteen seconds a yellow bar is aligned with the blue side-feed region and the green corner remains on the left.
Opening board and landmarks
A very wide shutter covers the upper room, and a jagged cyan numbered barrier fills the narrow waist below it. The visible bottom chamber includes a green corner shape on the left, long yellow horizontal bars, white uprights and purple counted cells. A blue side feed enters from the right. Once the upper room opens it reveals a red angular collector, a large cyan bent shape, and a yellow square near the top feed.

How to beat level 288 of Sand Blocks?
The checkpoints follow Rock Gaming Channel's 216-second recording. Each timestamp opens that stage on YouTube; the player below shows the continuous moves between checkpoints.
- Video 0:06
Work the yellow horizontal collectors below the shutter while shifting the white upright through the center. At eighteen seconds a yellow bar is aligned with the blue side-feed region and the green corner remains on the left.
- Video 0:30
Continue the small lower purple and yellow pieces until the cyan waist counts begin falling. By fifty-four seconds the cyan group reads three and the right side feed has changed from blue to green.
- Video 1:06
Clear enough of the lower room to trigger the upper reveal. At seventy-two seconds the shutter is gone: new pink, red, cyan, blue and yellow shapes fill the upper chamber above the remaining numbered cyan waist.
- Video 1:18
Follow the green corner and white upright through the center while the yellow square stays near the top. At ninety-six seconds the cyan waist is down to one, but still separates several upper and lower collectors.
- Video 1:48
Continue through the remaining cyan barrier, then move the lower green corner upward. The center opens after one hundred fourteen seconds, and the lower green angular target becomes the main large shape in the bottom room.
- Video 2:06
Work the green pieces and lower yellow bars while leaving room for the white uprights. At one hundred forty-four seconds the upper red/cyan group still occupies the top room, while the lower room is nearly cleared.
- Video 2:30
Bring the remaining white, yellow and red targets through the center. The lower purple counted bar falls from nine toward seven and then five; it moves downward as the surrounding collectors disappear.
- Video 3:00
Finish the white uprights and last yellow bars before the upper cyan/pink group. Around two hundred four seconds only cyan targets and the side feed remain, followed by an almost empty board near two hundred ten seconds.
Three obstacles to keep in view
- The upper shutter reveal adds a full second group; clearing the opening lower row is not a complete solution.
- The cyan waist numbers and the later purple lower counter refer to different visible barriers.
- The right feed changes color during the route, so match the collector to the current stream rather than its opening color.
