How does the boss counter work in Block Out Level 30?

The counter starts at `11` and drops by one for every base block you clear. Once it reaches `2`, the framed column collapses and reveals hidden blocks inside the shaft.

What should I clear first in Level 30 — the tower or the base?

Always the base. The red, white, and black blocks in the horizontal section must go first. The tower cannot collapse until the counter is low, and the counter only drops as base blocks leave.

Block Out Level 30 Walkthrough

hard 4 colors

Block Out Level 30 is an L-shaped room built around a tall framed boss column with an `11` counter. The red, white, and black blocks packed around the tower base must be cleared first to bring the counter down, and the tower only collapses once it drops to around `2`. After the column falls, a second wave of green, red, and white blocks spills out from inside the shaft and needs its own separation phase.

Board Notes

Layout: The board is L-shaped: a tall vertical section on the left holds the framed boss column with its `11` counter wrapped in an orange frame, and a horizontal section at the bottom is packed with red blocks on the left, white blocks in the middle, and more red mixed with green and black pieces on the right. A green exit arrow sits at the bottom center, and left-pointing white exit arrows line the left wall.
Goal: Every block removed from the base area reduces the `11` counter by one. The immediate target is the red and white clutter around the tower base, not the tower itself. Once the counter drops to `2`, the column collapses and reveals a hidden inner mass of green, white, and red blocks that still need sorting.
Opening: Start by sliding the smaller blocks on the left side of the horizontal section toward the left wall exits. The white blocks in the middle base are next because they open a lane between the tower and the right-side red mass. By the time the counter reads `2` (around 01:35 in the video), the tower is ready to fall.
Danger Zone: Trying to lower the column while the horizontal base is still full means the side blocks have no exit lane and the counter barely moves. The video shows the counter dropping from `11` to `2` only after the base clutter was mostly cleared — forcing it early just stalls the board.
Mechanics: Level 30 is the first double-digit boss column in Block Out. Unlike earlier `2` or `3` count bosses, the `11` counter requires sustained base work before the tower can collapse. The L-shaped room also funnels all traffic through the left wall and the bottom-center green arrow, making lane management around the base the real challenge.

Quick Tips for Block Out Level 30 (spoiler-free)

Track the boss counter number, not the tower height — if the counter still reads `5` or higher, the base needs more work.
Feed the green exit at the bottom center before trying to use the left wall exits for the inner mass.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.

How to Solve Block Out Level 30 — Full Solution

Slide the left-side red blocks toward the left wall exits to create the first gap beside the tower base.
Move the white blocks out of the middle base to open a lane between the tower and the right-side red mass.
Clear the right-side red and black blocks through the gaps created by the first two moves, watching the boss counter drop with each piece.
Once the counter falls to `2`, let the framed column collapse — the inner green and white blocks will spill into the base area.
Separate the revealed green blocks and feed them through the bottom-center green exit first.
Use the left wall exits for the remaining white and red inner pieces.
Finish with the last red tower segment after the shaft is empty and the base is flat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Trying to force the boss column down while the base area is still packed with red and white blocks — the counter barely moves because there is no lane for the base pieces to escape into.
Ignoring the green bottom-center exit in favor of the left wall exits when the inner mass spills out, which causes a traffic jam in the horizontal section.
