Brain Out Level 187
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 187 says "The little bunny is hungry." The board shows a small yellow bunny standing on a wooden platform on the left, with a carrot sitting on a separate platform on the right. A wide gap separates the two platforms, and five red heart icons float near the top of the screen. Below are left and right arrow buttons and a large JUMP button. Normally, jumping across the gap with the JUMP button sends the bunny falling into the void. The Brain Out twist is that the hearts are not health indicators; they are building blocks. You drag them down into the gap to form a bridge, then walk the bunny across.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 6
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the gap between the left platform and the right platform. It is too wide for the bunny to jump across in one bound; the JUMP button alone will drop him into the pit.
- Look at the five red hearts near the top of the screen. They are not decoration; they are draggable planks.
- Press and hold one of the hearts and drag it down into the gap. Place it horizontally across the chasm, bridging the two platforms.
- Drag the remaining hearts one by one and line them up end to end in the gap until the bridge is wide enough for the bunny to walk across. The hearts form a continuous walkway.
- Once the bridge is in place, press the right arrow button to walk the bunny across the heart bridge toward the right platform.
- If the bunny needs a small hop over the edge of the bridge, press the JUMP button as he reaches the right platform. The bunny reaches the carrot, and the level-complete pop-up appears with the line "WOW! Yummy yummy!" Tap Next to continue.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle is a platformer where the usual controls are not enough. The left, right, and JUMP buttons are shown, which makes you expect a normal run-and-jump level. But the gap is deliberately too wide, so jumping fails. The five hearts at the top are the only objects on the board that can fill the gap, and they are drawn in a row to suggest they are tiles.
Dragging a heart into the gap works because Brain Out treats UI hearts as draggable props here, not as a lives counter. Most players assume hearts are just lives, but the level gives you exactly as many hearts as you need to span the gap. Once the bridge is down, the arrow buttons work normally because the bunny has a surface to walk on.
The congratulatory line "WOW! Yummy yummy!" confirms the bunny ate the carrot. This level teaches the habit of treating HUD elements as inventory; in Brain Out, even health icons can be used as building material when the scene demands it.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Pressing JUMP immediately to cross the gap. The bunny falls into the void; the gap is too wide.
- Leaving the hearts at the top. They must be dragged into the gap to form a bridge.
- Placing only one heart. You need several hearts lined up end to end to span the whole chasm.
