How to beat Colony Flow! Level 178 — full solution

  1. Tap the Yellow 18 box from the front row of the stack into the first slot. Ants begin clearing the exposed yellow crescent perimeter along the left edge.
  2. Tap the Brown 10 box from the front row into the second slot. Brown ants harvest the exposed brown border along the bottom and outer perimeter.
  3. Tap the Purple 20 box from the front row left, followed by the Brown 15 box in the middle. Purple clears upper sky tiles while brown continues clearing the frame.
  4. Tap the revealed Yellow 16 and Yellow 19 boxes into free slots as earlier boxes finish. The ants strip the remaining sections of the crescent moon, exposing the central circle.
  5. Tap the revealed Cyan 20 box and Light Blue 20 box to target the inner celestial body and stars as yellow blocks disappear.
  6. Tap the remaining Purple 20, Brown 20, and Cyan mystery boxes as they unlock in the stack. Clear away the rest of the dark sky background and finish stripping the remaining stars and moon core.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping a Cyan box while the outer moon and dark sky still completely envelop the inner circle → Cyan ants find no exposed targets and remain stuck in a slot, reducing buffer space.

Quick tips for Level 178

  • Prioritize the outer Yellow and Brown boxes to dismantle the frame and expose the inner light blue and cyan blocks.
  • Keep at least two slots open to handle mystery boxes as they shift forward into the tappable front row.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A pixel image framed by brown edges, depicting a dark purple star-filled sky, a large yellow crescent moon on the left, and a cyan sphere on the right. Below sits a central nest hole and five empty slots over a multi-tiered stack.
Goal
Clear all pixel blocks from the picture using ant boxes drawn from the stack into the five slots.
Opening
Start by tapping the front-row Yellow 18 and Brown 10 boxes, as both colours have immediately exposed edge blocks on the left and outer frame.
Trap
Activating interior cyan or light blue boxes before removing the yellow moon and purple sky will trap them without reachable targets.
Mechanic
Mystery boxes marked with question marks occupy lower tiers of the stack and reveal their colours only when moved to the front row.
