Level 261 board with a central bomb/counter 22, side counters 12 and 18, top orange/blue exits, side cyan/pink exits, and bottom yellow/red exits
Color Block Jam Level 261 Solution
Open the center around the light-cyan vertical block, then use the right-side cluster before the final cleanup. The source sends a red block through the bottom red exit, reduces the right counter, and reaches completion around 2:30. Treat the replay after 2:40 only as confirmation.
