How to beat Colony Flow! Level 163 — full solution
- Tap the White 32 box sliding into slot 3, followed by the Black 35 box on the front-row left and the White 30 box in the middle. White ants strip the top and bottom outer white border, exposing the black outline underneath.
- Tap the Black 34 box and the Red 1 box as the front row clears. Black ants begin carrying off the outer black boundary blocks of the letters, while slot capacity stays near full with four slots active.
- Tap the linked White 30 + Red 1 pair once two slots free up. The White ants continue peeling the border while the Red ants start chipping at the exposed edges of the heart.
- Tap the Red 22 box and the remaining Black box from the upper stack. The ants dismantle the remaining outer black outlines around the letters L, V, and E, exposing the solid pink and hot pink interiors.
- Tap the Hot Pink 1 box and the Pink 30 box into free slots. The Hot Pink ant clears the single accent block inside the letter V, while Pink ants rapidly dismantle the bodies of the letters L and E.
- Tap the linked White 35 + Coral 6 pair into the slots. White ants clean up the upper white margin blocks while Coral ants target the small coral accent block.
- Tap the Hot Pink 2 box and the White 30 box from the newly revealed row. White ants carry off the final white boundary blocks, freeing slots for the final letter cleanup.
- Tap the Pink 29 box and the Red 20 box into the open slots. The pink and red ants carry away the remaining interior pixels of the letters and heart to finish the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Pink 30 or Hot Pink 1 boxes on the opening board → all pink and hot pink pixels are completely sealed inside the black letter outlines, locking two slots until the outline is cleared.
- Tapping the linked White 35 + Coral 6 pair with only one free slot → linked pairs require two open bays simultaneously to deploy.
Quick tips for Level 163
- Work strictly from outside to inside: strip the White background framing first, then the Black outlines, and finally the interior fills.
- Keep at least two slots open whenever a linked pair sits near the front of the stack.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The pixel picture at the top displays the word LOVE in Pink, Hot Pink, and Red, bounded by a Black outline and an outer White border. Below a single nest hole are five open slots and a three-column stack of ant boxes.
- Goal
- Carry away all pixel blocks from the LOVE banner by matching ant box colours to exposed outer blocks until the board is completely empty.
- Opening
- Start by using White and Black boxes to strip the outermost White frame and begin breaking down the Black border. This safely clears blocks without risking stuck slots.
- Trap
- Deploying the Pink 30 or Hot Pink 1 boxes too early stalls them in the slots because the letters L, V, and E are fully shielded by the Black outline.
- Mechanic
- Several boxes are joined by connecting rods as linked pairs (such as White 30 + Red 1, and White 35 + Coral 6), which must enter two free slots simultaneously.
Level 163 questions
-
Why won't the Pink ants carry any blocks on Level 163?
Pink blocks are completely surrounded by the Black outline. Clear the outer White frame and Black border first before sending in Pink boxes.
