How to beat Colony Flow! Level 157 — full solution

  1. Tap the linked Purple + Brown 68 pair from the front row into slots 1 and 2, then tap the adjacent Purple 70 into slot 3. Purple ants begin chewing away the bottom row of purple background blocks.
  2. Tap the linked Beige 10 + Yellow 49 pair into slots 4 and 5. This fills all five slots, relying on Purple 70 in slot 3 to drain and reopen a working bay.
  3. When the first purple box empties, tap the front-row Purple 70 into the freed slot. Purple ants continue clearing along the bottom and side edges of the background.
  4. As the outer border recedes, Brown 68 begins harvesting the exposed brown paws and body; tap the linked White 50 + Purple 70 pair into available slots to start clearing the white belly and chest.
  5. Tap the linked Black 30 + Brown 65 pair once black outline blocks along the lower body are uncovered. Black and brown ants clear the lower dog silhouette.
  6. Allow Beige 10 and Yellow 49 in slots 1 and 2 to strip the uncovered yellow chest band and ear highlights as their blocks become exposed.
  7. Tap the remaining stack column to release Beige 10 and its linked Pink 14. Pink ants harvest the cheeks and inner ear details.
  8. Tap the final Purple 70 to clear the top background corners, then let the last Brown box collect the remaining brown forehead blocks to complete the board.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping Pink 14 early → pink blocks on the cheeks and ears are buried deep inside the dog's face, so the box stays stuck and blocks a slot.
  • Releasing Black 30 before the outer purple border is cleared → black outlines are fully enclosed, permanently jamming the bay.

Quick tips for Level 157

  • Prioritize purple boxes until a large opening into the dog's white and brown sections is carved out.
  • Linked pairs consume two slots at once, so ensure at least one active single box is close to draining before tapping a linked set.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A pixel-art corgi facing forward with large ears, centered against a solid purple backdrop. A single ant nest sits directly below the picture, above five holding slots.
Goal
Clear all coloured blocks forming the dog portrait and its purple background by deploying ant boxes from the stack.
Opening
Deploy the linked Purple + Brown 68 pair and Purple 70 into the slots. Purple ants immediately attack the exposed bottom purple edge to open up the interior.
Trap
Tapping Pink 14 while cheeks and ears are still surrounded by brown fur leaves pink ants with zero targets, deadlocking a slot.
Mechanic
Linked pairs share a physical connector and must enter the slots together, requiring two vacant bays to deploy.

Level 157 questions

  • What should I tap first on Level 157?

    Tap the front-row purple boxes to clear the outer border first, which exposes the brown and white blocks underneath.
