Why does Level 711 slow down after the yellow creature looks almost gone?

The brown base, blue pole, and bottom yarn beads can keep surviving after the crown shrinks, so the board still feels split during the mid-game.

Should I focus on the rain background or the creature first in Level 711?

Work the creature edges and canopy together with the bottom token row; the rain is visual dressing while the pole and beads control the late traffic.

The rainy portrait gives way to a square loop with colored perimeter blocks, so the closing route no longer matches the opening pole layout.

Bring down the yellow rain creature, blue pole, brown base, and bottom yarn token row together before the fluffy crown ends up as a stray dot.

Open on the yellow creature edges and canopy rim plus the widest bottom token row, not on an isolated rain speck.
During the mid-game, clear the pole stub and token crumbs before chasing tiny crown dots.
If the creature is already tiny but the multicolor token row still holds beads, drain those beads first.

Start on the yellow creature edges, canopy rim, and widest multicolor yarn token row under the rain board.
Trim the blue pole sides while the creature crown is still broad so the trunk does not outlive the face.
Keep removing orange and cyan side tokens so the left and right beads do not outlive the brown base.
In the mid-game, clear the yellow dot, short pole stub, and bottom token crumbs before isolated rain specks.
Finish the last base pixels, perimeter loop blocks, and final yarn beads once the side strips stop refilling.

Attempting to solve without mapping the entire dependency chain between all color routes.
Treating all colors as equal priority — find the route that will be blocked first and clear it.
Missing the cascade technique: intentionally opening one route to unlock two subsequent clears.
