How to beat Colony Flow! Level 146 — full solution
- Tap Orange 70 (row 1, column 1) and Pink 38 (row 2, column 1). Orange and pink ants peel away the bottom-left accent blocks and outer edge, opening access to adjacent colors.
- Tap Yellow 35 (row 1, column 3) and Brown 41 (row 2, column 3). Yellow and brown ants strip the outer bottom border and lower outline, allowing both boxes to exhaust and leave two slots open.
- Tap Beige 45 (row 1, column 1) and Orange 45 (row 1, column 3). Ants consume the lower beige grid pattern and outer orange flank, freeing space in the stack.
- Tap Blue 46 (row 3, column 1) and Yellow 39 (row 2, column 1). Blue and yellow ants begin dismantling the sunglasses lenses and lower chest, uncovering the green key inside the cheek area.
- With the green key carried to the nest, the Green lock opens. Tap Cyan 43 (row 1, column 4) and Hot Pink 28 (row 3, column 2). Ants carry off the bright glasses frame and top pink tuft.
- With the yellow key released to open the Yellow lock, tap Yellow 39 (row 2, column 5), Orange 25 (row 2, column 2), and Orange 50 (row 2, column 4) in any order. The ants strip the broad yellow and orange forehead and cheeks.
- Tap Brown 20 (row 3, column 5), Orange 50 (row 1, column 1), and Yellow 50 (row 3, column 3). Brown and orange ants clear the inner facial outlines, completely exposing the cyan key on the forehead.
- With the cyan key unlocking the Cyan lock, tap Beige 81, Orange 30, and Yellow 50. The ants carry away the final background grid and remaining face blocks to win the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Cyan 43 or Blue 46 at the very start → the sunglasses are buried beneath outer yellow and brown layers, leaving the blue boxes stuck in slots and clogging your buffer.
Quick tips for Level 146
- Work from the outer brown outline inward to reveal the embedded keys as early as possible.
- Check which color borders the keys so you can prioritize those boxes when clearing access.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a yellow chick with blue sunglasses against a beige and pink backdrop. Five slots sit below the nest hole, above a stack of boxes arranged in rows of five.
- Goal
- Carry away all pixel blocks of the character portrait using ant boxes without filling all five slots with inactive boxes.
- Opening
- Start with Orange 70, Pink 38, Yellow 35, and Brown 41 to strip the outer perimeter blocks where ants have immediate access.
- Trap
- Tapping Cyan 43 before the sunglasses lenses are exposed leaves it stuck in a slot for a large portion of the level.
- Mechanic
- Padlocked boxes in the stack require collecting the matching green, yellow, and cyan keys hidden inside the pixel art.
