How to beat Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle Level 404 — full solution
- Tap the Black 26 jar in the front row centre-left, the Grey 26 jar in the front row centre-right, and the Lilac 15 jar in the front row far right. The ants begin stripping the outer dark outline and saucer highlights while leaving two bays open.
- Send the Yellow 18 jar, Orange 3 jar, and Black 7 jar into the free bays as the front row clears. Yellow ants strip the edges of the tractor beam and Black ants continue clearing the border.
- Tap the White 7 jar and White 9 jar from the second row to attack the cow's body, followed by the Hot Pink 4 jar and Grey 1 jar. These jars clear rapidly and uncover the remaining locked jars in the back rows.
- Deploy the Yellow 29 jar, Lilac 13 jar, and Hot Pink 5 jar. Yellow ants feed on the wide tractor beam beneath the cow, while Lilac and Hot Pink target the dome and saucer trim.
- Tap the Light Blue 11 jar, Orange 9 jar, and Hot Pink 3 jar. Light Blue ants eat the saucer window lights and UFO details while Orange clears beam accents.
- Bring in the Light Blue 10 jar, White 20 jar, and Lilac 20 jar as spots open up. The cow's head and UFO midsection are steadily eaten away.
- Tap the Orange 4 jar, Light Blue 7 jar, Lilac 8 jar, and White 22 jar. White and Light Blue finish stripping the remaining details of the cow and the saucer cockpit.
- Tap the Black 31 jar, Hot Pink 14 jar, and Grey 17 jar to dismantle the inner saucer machinery and remaining cow linework.
- Finish by tapping the final Yellow 2 jar to eat the last tractor beam pixels and clear the board.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping inner body jars like White 22 before clearing the Black outline → White pixels are enclosed behind the outer silhouette, causing White jars to stall in bays.
- Filling all five bays with high-count jars simultaneously → leaves no room to rotate smaller transitional jars needed to strip protective layers.
Quick tips for Level 404
- Always prioritize jars matching the outer outline of the pixel art to open inner pixel clusters.
- Keep at least one bay empty when tapping high-capacity jars so small single-digit jars can cycle through quickly.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a flying saucer abducting a cow with a yellow tractor beam. Below the ant hole is a five-bay holding rack above rows of tiered jars.
- Goal
- Completely devour all pixels in the UFO and cow image by matching jars to exposed pixel colors until the board is clear.
- Opening
- Begin with Black 26 and Grey 26 from the front row to clear the outermost framing pixels and expose internal colored areas.
- Trap
- Tapping large White and Light Blue jars before the surrounding Black linework is eaten will clog bays with stalled jars.
- Mechanic
- Locked jars at the bottom of the grid unlock sequentially as jars in front of them are selected and cleared.
Level 404 questions
-
What jars should I tap first on Level 404?
Start with the front row Black 26 and Grey 26 jars to remove the outer frame pixels before working on the cow.
-
Why did my White jar stop eating pixels?
White pixels are trapped inside the cow's body. You must clear the surrounding Black outline jars before White pixels become exposed.
