How to beat Colony Flow! Level 277 — full solution

  1. Tap Hot Pink 25 (front row, column 1) and Pink 5 (front row, column 2). Pink 5 clears quickly on the boot edges, leaving four slots open.
  2. Tap White 30 (front row, column 3) and Black 20 (front row, column 5). White ants dismantle the outer cuff trims while black ants collect edge accents, exposing the purple core.
  3. Tap Purple 26 (row 2, column 3) and the linked Red 20 + Red 25 vertical pair (column 4). Red and purple ants break through the boot shafts, freeing the yellow key.
  4. Tap White 28 (row 2, column 3) and Grey 30 (front row, column 4). As the border cubes clear, the yellow padlock on column 1 unlocks.
  5. Tap the unlocked Brown 15 (row 2, column 2) and Green 30 (front row, column 3). Their ants target the clusters above and between the boots.
  6. Tap Beige 17 (front row, column 4) and Pink 25 (row 2, column 3). This clears the pastel accents around the upper boots, freeing two slots.
  7. Tap Black 15 (front row, column 3) and Brown 10 (front row, column 3). Dark framing blocks are removed, exposing the remaining cyan accents.
  8. Tap Red 20, Red 27, and the linked Cyan 20 + Cyan 30 pair. Cyan and red ants clear the inner boot layers and remaining yellow accents, winning the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the linked Red 20 + Red 25 pair in column 4 before clearing the outer white and pink trim → red blocks are not yet exposed, jamming two slots at once.
  • Ignoring the yellow key inside the boot shaft → the locked box in column 1 remains sealed, blocking access to crucial brown and hot pink boxes.

Quick tips for Level 277

  • Always count free slots before tapping linked boxes, as they occupy two bays simultaneously.
  • Prioritize small-count boxes like Pink 5 early to clear a bay immediately.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The picture depicts two upright boots with cuffs and heels against a busy mosaic. Below sit five bays and a five-column stack featuring vertically linked boxes and a locked box.
Goal
Clear all pixel blocks making up the two boots and their surrounding frame across twelve distinct colors.
Opening
Start with Pink 5 and Hot Pink 25 in the front row to shave away the bottom and lateral trim safely.
Trap
The linked Red 20 + Red 25 pair takes two slots; tapping it while red blocks remain hidden behind white and purple cuffs causes a game-ending stall.
Mechanic
Linked boxes share a connector and must deploy together into two empty slots. Locked boxes require their matching key to be carried from the picture before they can be tapped.

Level 277 questions
