Why does Smash Fest Level 56 still feel locked after center shots?

Because the upper-left side is still holding both decks together. Open that side first so the top shelf folds and the right post becomes the only tall survivor.

Smash Fest! Level 56 Walkthrough

hard Target: 18 moves 6 colors

Smash Fest Level 56 is a double-deck can gate that clears fastest when you open the upper-left side first, let the top shelf fold, and then finish the late right blue post after the middle lane splits.

Board Notes

Layout: A two-deck red frame packs silver can columns, blue side posts, and a narrow white zigzag lane through the middle. The board begins as matching upper and lower shelves, then flattens into spilled cans and one late right post.
Goal: You need to open the upper-left side first, split the middle lane, and then finish the late right blue post with the last cans and red-dot cubes that settle on the floor strip.
Opening: Start on the upper-left frame and can stack so the top deck begins leaning before you attack the center.
Danger Zone: Shooting the middle zigzag strip while the upper-left side is still intact leaves both decks locked together and makes the late right post much taller than it needs to be.
Mechanics: This is a double-deck gate board where the first left-side peel matters more than the visible center strip, and the finish turns into a right-post cleanup over scattered cans.

Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 56 (spoiler-free)

Open the left side before chasing the center strip; once the two decks separate, the right post is the only tall target left.
With 6 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
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 Smash Fest! Level 56 — Full Solution

Shoot the upper-left side of the top deck instead of drilling the middle zigzag strip.
Keep widening that left opening until the top shelf starts leaning into the center.
Let the upper deck collapse while the lower can columns and right blue post stay visible.
Remove the short middle leftovers and the cans that spill across the pedestal.
Break down the lower-left survivors so the board stops reading as a full double deck.
Work on the tall right blue post after the rest of the frame has already flattened.
Finish the last cans, red-dot cubes, and the final short frame piece on the floor line.
