How to beat Colony Flow! Level 272 — full solution

  1. Tap Light Green 31 (front row, left) and Pink 30 (front row, second from left). They start harvesting the exposed outer edges of the green body and pink background, freeing two slots.
  2. Tap Pink 25 (front row, middle) and Pink 50 (front row, right). Together they clear out the lower and side borders of the pink background framing the character.
  3. Tap Pink 25 (row 2, left) and Dark Green 45 (row 3, middle). They chip away at the inner dark green contours and upper pink boundary.
  4. Tap Light Green 30 (revealed front row, right) and Pink 43 (front row, middle). These continue clearing the broad green outer face and upper pink corners.
  5. Tap Light Green 20 (revealed front row, middle) and White 12 (front row, left). The white ants begin stripping the white eye section once its green rim is cleared.
  6. Tap Light Green 30 (revealed front row, right) and Light Green 25 (front row, second from left). They dismantle the bulk of the remaining head and cheek blocks.
  7. Tap Light Green 35 (revealed front row, middle) and Light Green 50 (revealed front row, right). They strip the main forehead, chest, and arms of the character.
  8. Tap Light Green 45 (revealed front row, middle) and Light Green 40 (revealed front row, right). They consume the remaining torso and eye-surround pixels, finishing the portrait.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping White 12 before exposing the central eye → white blocks are buried deep inside the green face, leaving White 12 stalled in a slot for numerous turns.
  • Tapping Dark Green 45 before outer green edges are stripped → dark green lines the inner mouth and pupil accents, which cannot be reached early on.

Quick tips for Level 272

  • Prioritize Pink and Light Green ant boxes until the inner features of the face are completely surfaced.
  • Keep at least one slot completely empty before calling in secondary colours like White or Dark Green.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The picture depicts Mike Wazowski framed by pink background blocks. Below the image sits an ant nest, five slots, and a dense multi-row stack of ant boxes.
Goal
Clear all 1,600 pixel blocks forming the portrait by exhausting the ant box counts.
Opening
Send Light Green 31 and Pink 30 into the slots immediately, as both colours have abundant exposed pixels along the perimeter.
Trap
White 12 and Dark Green 45 sit near the front of the stack but correspond to the eye and mouth, which remain inaccessible until several layers of Light Green are gone.
Mechanic
Mystery boxes marked with a question mark reveal their true colour and number only when brought to the front row.

Level 272 questions

  • When should I tap the White 12 box in Level 272?

    Tap White 12 only after removing the light green blocks surrounding the central eyeball, ensuring the white pixels are directly exposed.
