Colony Flow! Level 179 Walkthrough
Level 179 presents an ornate mandala with dense borders and locked boxes. Strip the outer light cyan and white border first to expose inner layers and collect the keys before committing inner-core colors. Avoid deploying the buried inner red and yellow cubes until the framing patterns clear.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 179 — full solution
- Tap the Hot Pink 30 box on the far left and the Yellow 30 box in the center of the front row. They send ants to begin peeling away the outer framing blocks and release space in the front row.
- Send the Purple 30, Orange 50, and Cyan 45 boxes into the slots. These clear the exposed peripheral corners and lower brackets, opening paths toward the blue keys inside.
- Tap the Light Blue 25, Light Green 25, and Yellow 32 boxes as they move to the front. Their ants strip the surrounding borders, exposing the central floral outline and working down the slot queue.
- Deploy the Cyan 43, Purple 48, and Light Blue 30 boxes from the stack. They clean up the outer cyan frame and the side diamond decorations, exposing the underlying green and red sections.
- Send the Green 20, Light Green 35, and Hot Pink 42 boxes to clear the secondary borders. This frees the locked boxes in the bottom rows as ants reach the keys in the image.
- Tap the Cyan 60, Orange 20, and Purple 35 boxes to clear the upper corner scrolls and side wings, exposing the core yellow and red central flower.
- Deploy the Red 32, Light Green 25, and Cyan 50 boxes once unlocked. They strip away the inner green borders and outer ring of the central floral crest.
- Tap the Yellow 21 box and the remaining Light Blue and Cyan boxes to dismantle the inner petals and final backdrop blocks.
- Send the remaining Red and Yellow boxes into the bays to clear the core cross and complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Orange 50 or Red 32 boxes before the outer cyan and white border is cleared → the ants have no reachable blocks, leaving large boxes stuck in slots.
- Filling all five slots with high-count boxes before unlocking the keys → the board stalls with no free slots to deploy newly freed key-locked boxes.
Quick tips for Level 179
- Prioritize peeling the perimeter inwards; outer Light Blue, Cyan, and Yellow blocks block access to the embedded keys.
- Keep at least one slot open whenever a box in the stack is locked behind a key.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A symmetrical square mandala image sits above five slots and a deep box stack. Padlocked boxes and embedded keys lock several lower stack entries.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the mandala picture using the ant boxes in the stack without jamming all five slots.
- Opening
- Start with the Hot Pink 30 and Yellow 30 boxes in the front row to begin chipping away exposed outer edges.
- Trap
- The Red and Yellow core shapes are deeply layered under outer borders; pulling inner-color boxes early will clog slots.
- Mechanic
- Key and padlock mechanics: embedded keys inside the pixel art must be cleared by ants before locked stack boxes become tappable.
