Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 41 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 41 has a `5` boss square gated by two `2`-counter devices in the upper corners. Service both devices first to unlock the blue U-shaped blocks above the boss, then let the boss drop once the surrounding space is wide enough. After the boss clears around 01:30, a large colorful mass of blue, yellow, green, red, and purple blocks fills the board for a third sorting phase.

How to Solve Block Out Level 41 — Full Solution
- Service the left `2` device by routing the adjacent blocks through its gate.
- Service the right `2` device next.
- Shift the blue U-shaped blocks upward once both devices are at zero.
- Thin the red and green blocks around the boss as its counter drops from `5`.
- Let the boss square clear once the surrounding space is wide enough (around 01:30).
- Sort the revealed blue, yellow, green, red, and purple blocks through the exits.
- Finish with the last color cleanup after the board is mostly empty.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to reduce the `5` boss while the `2` devices are still active — the upper room stays locked and the boss barely moves.
- Not preparing exit lanes for the color mass that appears after the boss clears, which jams the newly opened space.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 41 (spoiler-free)
- The two `2` devices in the upper corners are the gate — if they are not at zero, the boss is locked.
- Expect a third phase: after the boss clears, a colorful mass appears and needs sorting.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A large orange-framed boss square with counter `5` in the lower half. Two small purple device blocks with `2` counters sit in the upper corners. Blue blocks form a U-shape above the boss. Red blocks sit on the right, green blocks in the bottom corners, yellow on the far left edge. Exits on the right, left, and bottom.
- Goal
- The two `2`-counter devices at the top must hit zero before the boss can start dropping. The blue U-shaped blocks above the boss connect the devices to the frame — once the devices are reduced and the blue blocks shift, the boss gains vertical room. After the boss falls, a colorful mass fills the board.
- Opening
- Service the left `2` device first, then the right. Once both hit zero, the blue U-blocks shift upward and the boss counter drops from `5` through `3` (at 01:55). By 01:30 the boss has cleared.
- Danger Zone
- Pulling on the `5` boss while the `2` devices are still active keeps the upper room locked. The devices are the gate — they must hit zero first.
- Mechanics
- Level 41 combines device gates with a boss square. The devices are openers, the boss is phase two, and the revealed color mass is phase three — a triple-phase level.
