Color Block Jam Moving Obstacles: Wait for the Right State

Plan around moving obstacles in Color Block Jam by reading timing states, checking the next opening, and avoiding moves that close the return route.

What should you observe?

Observe the opening, the destination beyond it, and the position the obstacle will occupy after the move. A temporary opening is useful only if the block can pass and the remaining board stays accessible.

Should you wait or move another color?

Move another color only if it does not consume the waiting space or the moving obstacle’s route. Otherwise, preserve the board and use the next safe opening.

What is the checkpoint?

The checkpoint is the obstacle state in which the intended block has a clear approach and exit. Re-plan if the state changes before the block reaches its destination.
