How to beat Colony Flow! Level 156 — full solution

  1. With Cyan 40 already resting in the first slot, tap the front-row Purple 30 (second from left) and Red 30 (far right). Their ants strip the outermost cyan, purple, and red perimeter bands along the bottom rim, leaving two slots free.
  2. Tap the front-row Black 35 (second from right), then the exposed Green 30 and Orange 28 from the second row. They consume the bottom outlines and decorative arches around the lower petals, filling the remaining slots as Cyan 40 clears.
  3. Bring in the exposed Red 30 and Orange 25, followed by the newly uncovered Purple 30. They finish removing the lower outer ring segments, freeing slots rapidly as the bottom perimeter disintegrates.
  4. This is the critical phase: do not touch the yellow face boxes yet. Tap the exposed Pink 32 and Green 30 boxes from the stack. Their ants strip away the lower pink petal and right green petal, clearing out two slots without stalling.
  5. Tap the Yellow 35 (front row, leftmost) and Red 30 (middle column). They strip the exposed yellow accents between the petals and carve through the upper-left red petal, opening room along the middle row of the mandala.
  6. Tap Black 35 and Black 30 from the stack to consume the thick borders surrounding the upper petals and the inner smile details. As black lines clear, two slots reopen.
  7. Tap Orange 28, Pink 6, and Green 28 to consume the remaining orange right-side petal and upper green border bands. Three slots remain open while ants carry away the surrounding blocks.
  8. Tap the remaining Yellow 35, Black 34, and Purple 30 boxes to strip the central smiley face and top rainbow canopy. The ants haul the last face and border cubes into the nest to complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the Yellow 35 box at the very start → the central yellow smiley face is completely encased in petal outlines and concentric rings, causing the yellow box to permanently block a slot.

Quick tips for Level 156

  • Always match your taps to the outermost visible layer of the mandala to keep blocks flowing continuously without stalling.
  • Prioritize black outline boxes only when their corresponding interior petal colours are ready to be cleared.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A circular mandala featuring concentric rings around an inner eight-petaled flower with a central smiley face. The stack below contains multiple rows of four boxes each, feeding into five slots above a central ant nest.
Goal
Clear every pixel block from the circular flower mandala by depleting all ant boxes in the stack.
Opening
Start by allowing the active Cyan 40 in slot 1 to strip the outermost blue ring, then tap Purple 30 and Red 30 from the front row to begin eroding the outer border.
Trap
The Yellow 35 box in the front row is available immediately, but the yellow smiley face sits deep inside the center; tapping it early clogs a slot for most of the stage.
Mechanic
Concentric layer stripping: ants can only reach blocks exposed to the outside edge, requiring players to peel away outer borders before inner petals become accessible.

Level 156 questions

  • What should I tap first on Level 156?

    Let the Cyan 40 in slot 1 begin working, then tap Purple 30 and Red 30 from the front row to peel the outer border.

  • Why is my yellow box stuck on Level 156?

    Yellow blocks are located in the center face and accents. They cannot be picked up until the surrounding petal and border layers are peeled away.
