Colony Flow! Level 184 Walkthrough
Level 184 features a 900-block pixel portrait of a teddy bear framed by foliage and flowers. The key to winning is methodically dismantling the outer green and floral layers to meet the block counter and unlock the brown boxes. Avoid filling the limited slots with dormant interior colours before the bear's fur is exposed.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 184 — full solution
- Tap the Green 75, Green 65, Green 70, Green 55, and Green 55 boxes in the front row in any order. Their ants dismantle the outer green foliage border, opening the path to the inner picture while emptying all five initial stack positions.
- Tap the Green 45 and Green 35 boxes, followed by the linked trio of Green 55, Green 50, and Green 50. The green ants continue stripping the background foliage, exposing the perimeter of the orange and yellow flowers.
- Send the Yellow 42 and padlocked Brown 46 boxes into the slots alongside Green 45. The yellow ants begin harvesting the flower petals, while the padlocked Brown box sits idle in slot 2 awaiting the block-counter unlock.
- Tap Orange 50, Green 24, and Green 16 in any order to strip the remaining flower outlines and surrounding greenery. Yellow 42 continues clearing flower centers down to 14, keeping two slots rotating freely.
- Deploy Beige 45 and Light Green 36 into the open slots to begin clearing the teddy bear's snout, belly, and inner light greenery. Yellow counts down to completion, freeing the leftmost slot for fresh incoming boxes.
- With the 900-block threshold reached and Brown unlocked, tap Yellow 19, Green 30, Green 15, and Beige 10 in any order. The unlocked brown ants strip the bear's body fur while green and beige clear the remaining surroundings.
- Tap the Pink 35 and Pink 45 boxes alongside Green 45 and Green 55 in any order. The pink ants remove the bear's blush cheeks, inner ears, and nose tie, leaving only the dark facial contours.
- Tap the remaining Beige and Brown boxes to strip the final fur pixels, then tap the Black box in the front row. The black ants carry away the bear's eyes and mouth outline, clearing the last blocks into the nest.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Black 50 while the bear's face is still covered by brown fur and foliage → black has zero exposed blocks, locking a slot permanently until the very end of the stage.
- Filling all four free slots with slow-draining colours while Brown 46 is padlocked → leaves zero buffer slots for new incoming boxes, causing an instant stall.
Quick tips for Level 184
- Work from the outer foliage inward: clearing Green first exposes flowers and the bear's outline simultaneously.
- The padlocked Brown box consumes one slot for a long stretch; treat your board as having only four active slots until the 900-block counter hits zero.
- Always preserve at least one high-throughput slot to rotate through low-count boxes quickly.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture is a large rectangular grid depicting a teddy bear surrounded by greenery and blossoms. Under the central nest hole sits a row of five slots, followed by a wide stack displaying five columns of boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all 900 blocks from the pixel picture by matching ant box colours to exposed outer pixels until the board is completely empty.
- Opening
- Tap the entire front row of Green boxes. The border of the image is completely composed of green foliage, guaranteeing rapid and safe progress with zero stall risk.
- Trap
- The padlocked Brown box sits locked in slot 2 until 900 blocks are collected, reducing your active capacity to four slots. Tapping buried colours like Black 50 early will choke your remaining slots.
- Mechanic
- A block-counter lock requires collecting a designated total number of blocks across the board before padlocked boxes of that colour activate.
Level 184 questions
-
Why won't the Brown box in the slot send out any ants?
It is locked by the level counter. You must strip other exposed colours until the counter reaches zero to unlock the brown ants.
-
When should I tap the Black box?
Save Black for the very end. Black blocks only form the bear's eyes and mouth line, which are fully encased inside the face.
