How to beat Colony Flow! Level 263 — full solution
- Tap the White 30 box in the leftmost slot position and the White 40 box from the front row. The ants clear the outer white background blocks, exposing the dark border and uncovering the locked padlocks.
- Tap the Dark Purple 35 box from the front row, followed by the Yellow 42 box. The dark outline blocks peel away while the outer yellow regions of the ears begin clearing.
- Tap the White 32 box and the Dark Purple 32 box from the front row as they become accessible. They remove remaining border pixels to expose the inner red cheeks and central facial features.
- Tap the Red 20 box and Red 28 box into free slots. Their ants strip the red cheek patches and the interior mouth blocks.
- Tap the Black 35 box once unlocked, followed by the remaining Yellow 35 and Yellow 28 boxes in any order. The dark eye outlines and center face areas clear out completely.
- Tap the final Yellow 19, Yellow 9, Yellow 6, and White 29 boxes from the front row in any order. The ants collect the remaining ear tips and frame corners to clear the board.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Red 20 or Red 28 boxes before the surrounding Yellow and Dark Purple outlines are removed → Red has no exposed blocks, so the box sits stuck in a slot and restricts working space.
- Neglecting the White outer frame boxes early → Keeps the padlock keys covered and blocks access to deeper rows in the stack.
Quick tips for Level 263
- Work from the outside in: remove White background blocks first so the Dark Purple border and Yellow face can be targeted.
- Ensure key items embedded in the pixel portrait are uncovered before expecting locked boxes in the lower stack rows to open.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture is a square pixel-art portrait with a White background border, Dark Purple outlines, Yellow face/ears, and Red cheeks. Below sit five holding slots and a deep stack of ant boxes arranged three per row.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the portrait by deploying matching ant boxes into the five slots.
- Opening
- Start with the White 30 and White 40 boxes to strip away the exposed outer boundary blocks.
- Trap
- Tapping red or interior facial boxes prematurely will stall slots, as their pixels are fully enclosed by the yellow face.
- Mechanic
- Padlocked boxes in the stack require their matching key icons to be freed from inside the pixel art before they can be tapped.
