Step-by-step
Clear the pale outline and dark legs before working through the brown horse and orange rider. Compare the outside edge with the video before introducing another color; the first useful launch should create access rather than merely uncover a queue item.
The lower legs shorten while the pale head and dark upper outline remain. Watch the remaining shots and the five waiting spaces as this change develops. Reuse a parked color when its next matching region becomes exposed.
Finish the small brown horse body and pale or orange rider fragments. Let the active pieces reach those targets before adding another Jelly. Check both sides of a small fragment because a single remaining cube can keep the board unfinished. Compare the final shape with the walkthrough and wait for the game to confirm the clear.
