How to beat Colony Flow! Level 18 — full solution
- Tap the Black 30 box (front row, left), the Orange 25 box (front row, second from left), and the Green 26 box (front row, far right). Their ants clear the lower outline, bottom bun, and outer lettuce edges; three slots are in use.
- Tap the Black 26 box (front row, left). It continues removing the lower and side black borders; four slots are occupied.
- Tap the Black 25 box (front row, left). As the first Black 30 finishes and leaves, this box takes over eating through the bottom outline and side frame.
- Tap the Orange 25 box (front row, left). It eats exposed orange blocks along the bottom bun and upper crown edges, freeing another slot.
- Tap the Black 25 box (front row, left). It works on the remaining black outline around the lower half and bun perimeter.
- Tap the Pink 15 box (front row, third from left) and the Pink 15 box (front row, far right). Their ants begin carrying away exposed pink patty blocks once outer layers clear.
- Tap the Black 30 box (front row, middle). It joins the queue to finish the remaining black frame blocks around the top bun.
- Tap the Brown 25 box (front row, left) and the Orange 25 box (front row, second from left). They clear exposed brown meat and top bun blocks.
- Tap the Green 25 box (front row, middle) and the Pink 20 box (front row, right). These target the remaining green lettuce strips and pink filling layers.
- Tap the Black 30 box (front row, right) and the Orange 25 box (front row, left). They continue clearing the top bun edges and inner outline.
- Tap the Orange 30 box (front row, right) and the Brown 25 box (front row, left). Ants strip the remaining brown patty and exposed orange bun sections.
- Tap the Green 30 box (front row, middle) and the Orange 28 box (front row, middle). They clear out the remaining lettuce blocks and the final top bun layers, clearing the picture completely.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping both Pink 15 boxes at the very start → pink blocks are buried behind the outer black outline and green lettuce, leaving both boxes stuck in slots and causing an immediate bottleneck.
- Tapping the Brown 25 box while black outline blocks still surround the middle layers → brown ants find no exposed targets and remain idle in a slot.
Quick tips for Level 18
- Always exhaust front-row Black and Orange boxes first since the outer bun and border expose their colours immediately.
- Keep at least one slot free so newly unlocked boxes from the stack can be deployed without stalling.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a hamburger with an orange bun, green lettuce, pink filling, brown patty, and a black outline. Below the two nest holes are five empty slots and an 18-box stack arranged in three-column rows.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the burger pixel art before the countdown timer reaches zero.
- Opening
- Tap the Black 30, Orange 25, and Green 26 boxes from the front row. These target the immediately exposed outer edges of the bun, frame, and lettuce.
- Trap
- Deploying the Pink 15 boxes before stripping the lettuce and bun layers will leave them stalled with zero exposed blocks, locking up valuable slots.
- Mechanic
- Blocks must have at least one exposed outer face to be carried away by matching ants. Tapping deeper colours before exposing their layers causes boxes to stall.
Level 18 questions
-
What should I tap first on Colony Flow! Level 18?
Tap the Black 30, Orange 25, and Green 26 boxes. Their blocks sit on the outer edges, allowing ants to clear immediately without stalling.
-
Why are my pink ants not moving?
Pink blocks form the inner patty layers. You must clear the outer black outline and green lettuce before pink blocks become exposed.
