Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 140 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 140 uses four vertical piston bars as elevators — each must match its column color in the upper grid before the central `7` circle starts counting cycles. The pistons only travel when their color matches, so the upper row's directional arrow blocks must clear first to reveal the target colors. Align each piston, then drain the `7` circle for the PERFECT clear.

How to Solve Block Out Level 140 — Full Solution
- Raise the red piston bar to the top-row red 2 block and slide it down the red bottom-arrow to spend the 2 counter.
- Align the yellow bar with the yellow 1 tile and the blue bar with the blue 1 tile, lowering each through its matching bottom-arrow.
- Raise the green bar for the right-column green blocks and spend the white 3 edge counter on the upper-right strip.
- Clear the upper panel top row (purple/yellow/blue/green with up-arrows) once all four upper counters hit zero.
- Slide the red L-shape with left/down arrows through the lower-left lane, then push the blue vertical up-arrow block through the center corridor.
- Lower the yellow and purple right-side pieces and spend the final central 7 circle for the board clear.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Raising the yellow piston during step 1, splitting the top-row 1 pair and locking the central 7 above 3.
- Lowering the yellow piston before the red L-shape clears, stranding the blue down-arrow block at the base.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 140 (spoiler-free)
- Keep blue and yellow pistons level during the opening — raising yellow early splits the top-row 1 pair.
- Clear the red L-shape with left/down arrows before lowering the yellow piston on the right.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Dual-panel color-piston board. Upper panel: 4-column grid — top row red 2, yellow 1, blue 1, green; second row red/yellow/blue/green; third row yellow, blue, purple, green. White 3 counter on right edge. Lower panel: four vertical colored bars (red, blue, yellow, green) with matching up/down arrows, central yellow-bordered circle showing 7, four downward arrows on bottom edge. Mid-run: upper panel top row only (purple/yellow/blue/green with up-arrows), lower grid with directional arrow blocks — red L-shape left/down, blue vertical up, yellow/purple right pieces.
- Goal
- Spend all upper counters 2/1/1/3 and drain the central 7 circle to zero by matching each piston bar to its column color.
- Opening
- Raise the red piston bar to align with the top-row red 2 block and slide it down the red bottom-arrow. Keep blue and yellow bars level while the green bar stays raised.
- Danger Zone
- Around 02:39 the upper panel shows only the top row while the lower grid holds a red L-shape with left/down arrows and a blue vertical with up arrow. Lowering the yellow piston before the red L-shape clears strands the blue down-arrow block.
- Mechanics
- Color-piston board where four vertical bars act as column elevators and the central 7 circle counts total piston cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the four piston bars work in Block Out Level 140?
Each bar raises and lowers to match its column color in the upper grid. Blocks ride the bar down through the matching bottom-arrow.
What does the central 7 circle count?
Total piston cycles remaining. Every bar movement ticks it down; it must hit zero for the board clear.
