Colony Flow! Level 168 Walkthrough
Level 168 depicts a pixel-art bee hovering over a small flower against a blue sky. Clear the outer border, dark ground, and green foliage first to reach the bee's inner yellow body and white wings. Avoid deploying yellow boxes prematurely while the bee remains shielded.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 168 — full solution
- Tap the Black 38 box (front row, middle) to join the pre-placed Blue 38 and White 30 boxes in the slots. The black ants begin clearing the exposed base ground layer, leaving two slots open.
- Tap the Green 12 box and Green 15 box as they unlock in the bottom row. The green ants strip the flower stem and grass patch along the bottom edge, unblocking the lower perimeter.
- Tap the Blue 40 box (front row, left) and the Black 40 box (row 2, right). The ants clear the lower corners of the blue sky and strip more of the dark ground beneath the bee, keeping slots cycling.
- Tap the Blue 34 box and the Yellow 30 box once exposed black and blue blocks reveal the lower side of the bee. The yellow ants carry off exposed blocks from the bee's belly while blue ants peel the right edge.
- Tap the White 30 box and the next Blue 38 box from the advancing stack. The white ants dismantle the outer tip of the bee's wings while the blue ants remove the right sky border.
- Tap the revealed Grey mystery box once it reaches the front row, along with the Yellow 20 box. Ants clear the bee's upper head and front face blocks as more interior pixels open up.
- Tap the linked Yellow 30 and Blue 40 pair when at least two slots are free. Both boxes enter the slots simultaneously, stripping the inner body striping and top-right sky blocks.
- Tap the Yellow 34 box, the Blue 35 box, and the final revealed mystery box in any order. Their ants collect the last white wing tips, remaining yellow torso blocks, and final blue sky pixels to finish the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Yellow 30 box in the opening moves → yellow pixels form the bee's body deep inside the picture and are completely covered by blue sky and black stripes, permanently jamming a slot.
- Tapping the linked Yellow 30 and Blue 40 pair with only one free slot → the move fails or clogs the queue if other boxes are stalled without exposed targets.
Quick tips for Level 168
- Strip the green flower and dark ground blocks first since they lie on the outermost perimeter and clear quickly.
- Keep at least two slots vacant when advancing toward the linked Yellow and Blue pair in the lower stack.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel-art image of a bee near a flower sits above a single nest hole, with five holding slots and a three-column stack below.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks composing the bee, flower, and blue background using ant boxes from the stack.
- Opening
- Start by deploying Black 38 to work on the bottom ground layer alongside the pre-loaded Blue and White boxes, then use green boxes to eliminate the flower stem.
- Trap
- The Yellow 30 box is accessible early in the stack, but the bee's yellow body is entirely encased inside black and blue pixels. Deploying yellow early stalls that slot.
- Mechanic
- A linked Yellow 30 and Blue 40 pair appears deeper in the stack, requiring two open slots to deploy together.
