Colony Flow! Level 260 Walkthrough
Level 260 features an alien portrait surrounded by cosmic tiles and multi-layered locked segments. Clear the exposed purple and blue background tiles first to reveal inner paths and free slots. Avoid triggering linked boxes without sufficient open bays.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 260 — full solution
- Tap Purple 5, Purple 32, and Blue 10 from the front row. Purple and blue ants strip the outer background pixels, creating initial clearance along the board borders while keeping bays open.
- Tap Black 20, Green 40, and Green 35 as they reach the front row. The ants chip away at the upper alien horns and outer silhouette outline, exposing deeper inner layers.
- Tap the front Purple 45 and revealed Pink boxes. Pink ants dismantle the large hot pink background block on the upper-left, uncovering lock numbers embedded inside the alien face.
- Tap Cyan 30 boxes from the left side of the stack. Cyan ants clear away the floating accent pixels flanking the character, freeing up space and refreshing the active slots.
- Ensure at least two slots are open, then tap the linked Purple 30 and Cyan 35 pair. Both boxes enter the bays together, rapidly harvesting exposed purple backdrop and lower cyan sparkles.
- Send Black 50 and Green 45 into empty slots. Black ants remove the heavy outlines framing the eyes and torso, exposing the central green body pixels for the green ants.
- Tap the Yellow 10 boxes and Black 44. Yellow ants pick up the small glowing decorative stars, while black ants finish stripping the feet and mouth outlines.
- Tap Green 40, Pink 50, and the final Cyan 39 box. Green and pink workers clear the face and cheeks, and cyan ants carry away the final remaining pixel to complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the linked Purple 30 box with only one empty slot → both linked boxes attempt to deploy together, which fails or risks filling every available bay.
- Deploying Black 50 early before outer borders clear → black pixels remain shielded by background colours, leaving a massive 50-count box stalled in a slot.
Quick tips for Level 260
- Always check the exposed perimeter of the picture; ants can only pick up blocks touching an outer edge.
- Reserve at least two empty slots before tapping any box joined to another by a link line.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- Five slots sit above a five-column stack of boxes; the picture above depicts an alien character framed by cosmic pink, purple, and cyan blocks with embedded counter locks.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the alien portrait into the nests without clogging all five slots.
- Opening
- Start by tapping the front-row Purple 5, Purple 32, and Blue 10 boxes, which target the fully exposed outer background.
- Trap
- The Black 50 box stalls permanently if tapped before the outer pink and purple borders are stripped away.
- Mechanic
- Linked boxes share a connecting line and enter the bays simultaneously, requiring two open slots to deploy.
Level 260 questions
-
What should I tap first on Level 260?
Tap the front-row Purple 5 and Blue 10 boxes, as their corresponding blocks form the outermost layer of the background.
-
How do I handle the linked Purple and Cyan boxes?
Wait until you have two completely empty slots before tapping either box, as linked pairs deploy at the same time.
