Food Hunt Level 1049 Walkthrough

Published: 2026-11-13

Beat Food Hunt level 1049 by clearing white 42 first, then following the fixed queue and starting dark grey 129 early when it arrives. The picture is an orange striped cat walking through green grass beside water under a light blue sky with clouds. Its 49 boxes use 11 colors; work with four slots until the fifth unlocks around the middle. Reserve space for light blue 94 to remove the last sky pixels.

Food Hunt level 1049 at the start: an orange striped pixel cat walks on green grass beside the water, with clouds across a light blue sky above the cat and grassy bank.
Level 1049 at the start: tabby cat beside the water.

Dark grey 129 in slot 1 and white 81 in slot 4 need early starts when their queue positions arrive. Pale pink 7 also holds slot 3: its pale ear highlights sit behind other colors. The small counter cannot make those hidden pixels accessible.

Tabby Cat Color Order: White Opening, Sky Ending

White 42, blue 51, teal 15, pale pink 7, green 21, dark grey 49, 30 and 129; green, light blue and blue passes through orange 58; alternating short and large refills; light blue 94 last.

Identify repeated colors by their counters. The early dark grey picks at 49, 30 and 129 are separate boxes, with 129 becoming the long outline job. Light blue returns seven times and carries the largest combined workload, so accommodate each pass as space opens. Its biggest box, light blue 94, follows the late cat and grass colors.

Tabby Walkthrough from Clouds to the Final Sky

  1. Clear the lone white opening. Put white 42 into the first available slot and let it work alone on the untouched scene. Its ants remove white from the clouds, muzzle, chest, belly patch and paws. Once its counter reaches zero, that slot becomes available again. The queue then brings blue 51, teal 15 and pale pink 7, which should enter promptly rather than waiting for the big outline stage.

This tabby-cat video follows the lone white start, the long dark grey outline and the fifth slot accepting orange 53. The ending shows why light blue 94 needs a free place after the late grass and cat passes.

  1. Begin the long outline run. Green 21 precedes the three consecutive dark grey boxes at 49, 30 and 129. The 129 box settles into slot 1 and stays longer than any other box because the outline around the figures becomes reachable gradually. Play green 11 and light blue 12 and 18 alongside that work. Those shorter passes clear rapidly, giving the other slots movement while the outline remains occupied.
  2. Work through the blue bands. Blue boxes at 31, 61 and 47 eat the dark blue bands across the upper sky. Orange 58 then goes into slot 2 and slowly works through the cat body and tail toward the ending. Yellow 10 and green 73 fit between the blue jobs without the same long pauses. Keep the four open slots supplied with useful queue choices as the sky and cat layers expose each other.
  3. Let the paused boxes resume. A stretch of still counters occurs between the long passes, and the boxes resume by themselves when access opens. White 81 subsequently occupies slot 4 to remove the second layer of white pixels. The ginger boxes at 39 and 19 work on the darker fur stripes and ear tips, while yellow 14 takes the flower dots. Repeated taps during the pause do not remove the colors covering those sections.
  4. Put orange into the new slot. When slot 5 unlocks, orange 53 is its immediate first pick. Slot 2 cycles rapidly through light blue 16, teal 8, green 30 and teal 60. Dark grey 50 enters after that sequence and also waits for access to the outline. Orange 68 and light blue 76 continue the later passes over the cat and sky while the remaining long boxes still occupy their places.
  5. Finish the small passes and sky. Near the end, blue 29 and white 25 clear, followed by yellow 11 and green 56 together. Magenta 12 removes the bright pink inner ears and nose, and teal 12 takes the leftover shrubs. Orange 56 and green 57 clear the last cat and meadow pixels, with teal 37 also noted before the finishing box. Place light blue 94 into the space that opens to remove the final part of the sky and complete the level.

The Tiny Ear Box and the Two Long Holds

Check pale pink 7 before assuming that a small box should have finished. It holds slot 3 because its pale ear highlights are covered from above, and it may wait into the middle of the run. Its small counter does not change the location of those pixels. Leave the box to resume after the neighboring colors have opened the ears, and keep the remaining positions available for productive passes.

The larger holds are dark grey 129 in slot 1 and white 81 in slot 4. Start each promptly when the fixed queue reaches it; delaying those jobs puts their long waits into a more crowded stage. Orange 58 and ginger 39 also linger in slot 2, followed by dark grey 50 and ginger 19 in slot 4. Keep one slot ready for the extended blue and light blue series, and let the paused boxes restart without extra tapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you beat Food Hunt level 1049?

Start white 42, then follow blue 51, teal 15 and pale pink 7 into the fixed 49-box queue. Begin dark grey 129 early, put orange 53 into slot 5 when it unlocks, and finish on light blue 94.

Which box goes first on level 1049?

White 42 works alone at the opening, clearing clouds and the white parts of the cat. Blue 51, teal 15 and pale pink 7 follow it, before the green and dark grey stages begin.

Why is dark grey 129 taking so long?

The outline around the figures opens gradually as neighboring colors disappear, leaving dark grey 129 in slot 1 longer than any other box. Start it when the queue presents it so the blue and green passes can work beside that long outline job.

What should I do with pale pink 7?

Let pale pink 7 wait in slot 3 for access to the pale highlights inside the ears. Other colors cover those pixels, so tapping again cannot shorten the wait; preserve space around it for the blue and light blue runs.

Which box finishes the cat by the water?

Light blue 94 is the final box and removes the last sky pixels. The late route includes orange 56, green 57 and teal 37 ahead of it, so keep a slot ready for that largest light blue pass.
