Colony Flow! Level 270 Walkthrough
Level 270 is a Super Hard level featuring a pixel-art lotus blossom layered above a lily pad. Success requires systematically stripping outer dark purple and white background blocks before clearing the pink petals and underlying green lily pad. Avoid deploying enclosed green and red boxes early to prevent clogging all five slots.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 270 — full solution
- Tap Blue 32, Dark Purple 40, and Purple 20 from row 1 of the stack in any order. Ants strip the exposed dark purple and blue water blocks around the perimeter of the lotus, exposing the outer pink petals while leaving Red 17 in the front row.
- Deploy revealed Pink 33, Pink 18, Pink 49, Hot Pink 22, and Hot Pink 40 into the five slots as they unlock. The swarm attacks the exposed pink lotus blossom petals from the outside, filling all five slots with active countdowns.
- As slots free up from the pink swarm, tap Red 17 from the front row and deploy the linked Blue and Cyan pair. Red ants target the exposed flower center while blue and cyan ants strip away adjacent background pixels, leaving three slots occupied.
- Tap Black 40 from the top row into an open slot. Black ants begin clearing dark background blocks along the upper edges of the board while the remaining red and pink petal counts finish counting down.
- Deploy White 41 and Cyan 35 into open slots as pink boxes expire. White ants strip the rectangular outer border around the top and side edges, exposing the upper reaches of the green lily pad.
- Tap Green 45, Green 45, Light Green 37, and Cyan 12 into the slots in any order. The green ants carry away the broad lily pad beneath the lotus, leaving only the outer dark border intact.
- Deploy Purple 30, Purple 25, Purple 29, and Black 50 from the remaining stack rows into available slots. Ants eliminate the surrounding dark purple blocks and outer corners, reducing the remaining board to a sparse border of dark tiles.
- Tap the final Black 40 box into the leftmost slot. Its ants carry away the last remaining black border blocks into the nest, leaving four empty slots and clearing the picture.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Red 17 on the opening move -> red blocks form the inner core of the blossom and remain trapped behind the petals, wasting a slot for multiple phases.
- Deploying Green 45 while the pink blossom still covers the lily pad -> green ants cannot reach the obstructed pad blocks, clogging the slots.
Quick tips for Level 270
- Work from the outside in by clearing dark purple and white perimeter blocks before touching boxes for inner flower details.
- Reserve two adjacent free slots before tapping linked boxes to avoid getting blocked when space is tight.
- Wait to reveal mystery boxes in the front row before committing remaining slots so you do not get surprised by buried colours.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The upper section displays a pixel-art picture of a pink lotus flower floating on a green lily pad surrounded by a dark purple water background and a white border. Below the board are two central ant nests, five holding slots, and a four-column stack of ant boxes arranged in three visible rows with booster buttons underneath.
- Goal
- Clear all pixel blocks from the lotus flower picture by deploying matching ant boxes. Complete the board with no time limit shown across the five available slots.
- Opening
- Tap Blue 32, Dark Purple 40, and Purple 20 from the front row in any order. These boxes immediately clear the exposed outer background blocks without jamming the slots, revealing the pink flower petals underneath.
- Trap
- Tapping Red 17 or the green boxes before clearing the outer purple background and the lotus petals. The red core and lower green lily pad are completely enclosed early on, so placing them in slots stalls them until surrounding layers are dismantled.
- Mechanic
- Linked boxes joined by a connecting bar require two free slots simultaneously to deploy. Grey mystery boxes reveal their hidden colours and numbers once they advance to the front row.
Level 270 questions
-
What boxes should I tap first on Level 270?
Tap the front-row Blue 32, Dark Purple 40, and Purple 20 boxes. They dismantle the exposed outer dark background, safely exposing the pink lotus petals without stalling your slots.
-
How do I handle the linked box pair on Level 270?
Ensure at least two slots are completely empty before tapping the linked pair. If fewer than two slots are free, the linked boxes cannot enter.
