How to beat Colony Flow! Level 202 — full solution
- With White 19 and Green 20 already active in slots, tap Cyan 15 and Green 20 from row 1 of the stack. Their ants begin clearing outer edge pixels from Santa's green background border and white beard trim, freeing the first row of stack boxes.
- Tap Black 20 and Cyan 20 from row 1, followed by Red 10 from row 2. These strip away the outer hat borders and upper beard accents, opening room in the slots as the initial White and Green boxes finish and depart.
- Release Black 15, Cyan 20, and Red 20 from row 2 in any order. The ants strip the hat's red crown and beard highlights, exposing the upper hat trim and revealing deeper rows of Red and Hot Pink boxes in the stack.
- Tap Hot Pink 20 and Red 20 from row 3, then advance the newly revealed Red 10 and Black 18 boxes. Santa's hat folds and upper framing blocks clear out, uncovering the outer cheek contours and freeing two central slots.
- Release Green 14, White 20, and Hot Pink 15 from the front rows. Their ants collect the green background remnants and large sections of the white beard, bringing the lower half of Santa's face into view.
- Tap Beige 14, Cyan 16, and Hot Pink 15 as they surface at the front of the stack. The ants remove exposed sections of Santa's cheeks and facial shading while keeping at least two slots rotating freely.
- Release Black 20, Red 20, and White 14 to strip the eye outlines and nose highlights. Follow with Hot Pink 14 and Light Blue 13 from the rear stack rows to clear remaining hat pom-pom accents.
- Tap Red 12, White 18, and Cyan 20 from the final stack row. Once the last white and red pixels vanish from Santa's face, the sole remaining Cyan box clears the final exposed pixel to win the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Beige 14 while Santa's beard and hat still enclose his face → beige skin blocks are completely buried, causing the box to freeze in a slot for multiple waves.
- Filling all five slots with duplicate Red and Hot Pink boxes before clearing outer Cyan highlights → hat trim blocks block access to the red interior, jamming the queue.
Quick tips for Level 202
- Focus on stripping the green background corners and white beard edges first so interior facial colours become accessible.
- Always maintain at least one open slot for quick-emptying boxes to avoid deadlocks when clearing deeper layers.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel-art Santa Claus face framed by a light green border. Below the board sits a central ant nest and five holding slots, fed by a multi-row stack of ant boxes arranged four wide.
- Goal
- Completely dismantle Santa Claus and the surrounding background pixels by exhausting all ant boxes from the stack.
- Opening
- White and Green are immediately exposed around the beard and outer border, making Cyan and Green boxes safe initial picks.
- Trap
- Beige skin boxes sit early in the stack, but Santa's cheeks and nose are shielded behind hat trim, eyes, and beard blocks.
- Mechanic
- Ant boxes count down one ant per matching exposed pixel gathered; once a box reaches zero, it exits its slot immediately.
Level 202 questions
-
Why is my Beige box not clearing any blocks on Level 202?
Beige blocks form Santa's skin, which is buried inside the beard, eyes, and hat. Clear the surrounding white and red blocks first to expose the skin.
-
How do I prevent slot lock early in Level 202?
Alternate between white beard, green border, and red hat boxes so multiple colours clear simultaneously without clogging all five slots.
