How to beat Colony Flow! Level 233 — full solution
- With the Red 20 box already in the center slot, tap the Black 20 box (front row, far left) and Black 14 box (front row, far right). Their ants clear the lower outer red border and bottom black branches.
- Tap the two White 20 boxes from the front row in any order, followed by revealed Yellow boxes as they appear. The ants peel away the bottom-center white blocks and begin freeing the lower cyan key, leaving White 3, Yellow 4, Black 10, Yellow 2, and White 7 finishing up in the slots.
- Tap the Red 20 box from the left and the Black 10 box, followed by the White 20 boxes to continue stripping inward along the base of the tree. This clears the lower edge to reach the Cyan key and opens up the locked Cyan boxes behind it.
- Tap the Black 20 and White 20 boxes as the branches dissolve, then tap Red 17 to erode the side red borders. The middle trunk and lower limbs disappear, uncovering the Green key on the right side of the inner moon.
- Tap the Black 20, Yellow 15, and Red 12 boxes as they reach the front row, sending ants to consume the central moon disk and remaining inner tree branches. This leaves only the upper arch of the sky and top canopy.
- Tap the Red 26 box, Black 20 box, and remaining White 20 boxes to clear the top white branches and the thick upper black silhouette. Two slots remain free as these large counts begin working.
- Tap the Yellow 8, Yellow 11, and Red 18 boxes in any order into the remaining slots. The ants carry away the final slivers of yellow moonlight and the top edge of red sky until the board is completely empty.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping inner Yellow boxes before clearing the surrounding Red and Black border blocks → yellow pixels on the moon remain trapped behind the outer canopy, leaving Yellow boxes stalled in slots.
Quick tips for Level 233
- Clear along the lower center first to unlock the Cyan key embedded at the base of the trunk, which frees locked boxes early in the stack.
- Keep at least one slot open when cycling through high-count Red and White boxes so newly revealed lower-count boxes can slide in.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A square pixel canvas depicting a spooky bare tree silhouetted against a round Yellow and White moon, surrounded by a dark Red border. Three colored keys (Cyan, Orange/Yellow, Green) are embedded within the picture, blocking padlocked boxes in the stack.
- Goal
- Carry away all pixel blocks using ant boxes from the stack and empty the picture completely. Five slots are available.
- Opening
- Red 20 is already deployed in the middle slot. Tap the outer Black boxes from the front row to clear the exposed outer lower border.
- Trap
- Deploying the Yellow boxes while the outer tree and sky still cover the moon blocks will cause the Yellow boxes to idle in slots without making progress.
- Mechanic
- Keys embedded inside the pixel art unlock matching padlocked boxes in the stack once the surrounding blocks are stripped away by ants.
