Colony Flow! Level 3 Walkthrough
Level 3 features a pixel strawberry with green leaves and a dark outline. Clear the dark perimeter blocks first to expose the interior red fruit and inner highlights. Avoid overloading the slots with blocked colours before the outer border opens up.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 3 — full solution
- Tap the Black 26 box (front row, left), the Pink 11 box (front row, left), and the Red 52 box (front row, left). Black ants immediately strip the exposed bottom-left outline, while Pink and Red wait in slots 2 and 3; two slots remain free.
- Tap the Dark Purple 28 box (front row, middle) and the Red 18 box (front row, middle). Dark Purple helps strip the outer outline alongside Black while Red attacks newly exposed red edges; all five slots are now occupied.
- Once the Black 26 box empties slot 1, tap the Red 10 box (front row, right). Red ants strip more of the exposed lower fruit body; all five slots remain occupied.
- As the Dark Purple 28 box finishes and clears slot 4, tap the Light Green 18 box (front row, middle). Light Green ants begin dismantling the top-right leaf edges; all five slots remain occupied.
- When the Red 18 box clears slot 5, tap the Red 50 box (front row, right). The Red ants swarm the exposed berry core as the outer perimeter dissolves; all five slots remain filled.
- When the Red 10 box clears slot 1, tap the Green 28 box (front row, middle). Green ants harvest the darker interior leaf blocks, exposing the inner highlight blocks; the Pink 11 box starts emptying.
- As the Light Green 18, Pink 11, Red 50, and Green 28 boxes clear, tap the Red 16 box (front row, right) and the Light Green 13 box (front row, left). They clear remaining strawberry patches and leaf corners; three slots become free.
- When the Red 52 box clears slot 3, tap the White 5 box (front row, middle). White ants remove the highlight shine blocks from the berry; three slots are free, and White 5 clears quickly.
- Tap the Light Green 10 box (front row, middle) into slot 1 and the Pink 5 box (front row, right) into slot 2. Both ant colours carry away the final stem and fruit pixels, clearing the board completely.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the White 5 box early → the white highlight is buried deep inside the strawberry, so the box sits idle in a slot and causes a slot jam.
- Tapping both Light Green and Green boxes before the dark outline is removed → leaf edges remain shielded by dark outline blocks, leaving multiple green boxes idling in slots.
Quick tips for Level 3
- Always deploy border-clearing colours like Black and Dark Purple before interior colours to ensure new pixel layers are exposed.
- Keep track of remaining slot counts when queuing large capacity boxes like Red 50 and Red 52 so you do not run out of room for emerging colours.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel strawberry with a green leaf and dark outline sits above a single nest hole, with five holding slots and three stack columns below.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the strawberry image using 14 ant boxes from the stack.
- Opening
- Deploy the Black 26 and Dark Purple 28 boxes first to strip the outer perimeter and uncover inner red and green pixels.
- Trap
- Filling all five slots with Red, Pink, or White before removing the outer dark boundary stalls the boxes and triggers an immediate loss.
- Mechanic
- Ants can only carry blocks touching an exposed edge; inner colours remain uncollectible until surrounding blocks are dismantled.
Level 3 questions
-
What should I tap first on Colony Flow! Level 3?
Tap the Black 26 and Dark Purple 28 boxes first. They strip the outline around the strawberry, exposing the red fruit and green leaves.
-
Why is my White box not sending any ants on Level 3?
The white shine pixels sit inside the berry. They only become exposed once the surrounding red and green blocks are cleared away.
