How to beat Colony Flow! Level 316 — full solution

  1. Tap the White 35 box poised above the first slot. Ants immediately begin peeling away the lower outer white border, keeping four slots completely open.
  2. Tap the White 40 box (front row, column 1), the Black 35 box (front row, column 2), and the Black 35 box (front row, column 3). White ants expand clearing along the bottom and side frame, while black ants strip the shield's lower black border.
  3. Tap the Red 35 box (front row, column 4) and the Black 35 box (front row, column 1). Black ants clear the year 1899 at the base of the crest, uncovering the red stripes and allowing red ants to start eating the lower shield.
  4. Tap the White 42 box (front row, column 4) and the Red 35 box (second row, column 2). White ants work through the background behind the year numerals while red ants begin chipping away at the lower central crate.
  5. Tap the White 40 box (front row, column 1), the Black 35 box (front row, column 3), and the White 40 box (front row, column 4). This dangerous push fills four slots to rapidly peel the outer white border and expose the yellow key embedded in the shield.
  6. Tap the unlocked Black 35 box (formerly behind the yellow padlock) and the Red 35 box (front row, column 1). Ants target the inner black lettering and red vertical stripes, breaking the central crate down to zero.
  7. Tap the White 35 box (second row, column 2), the Black 36 box (front row, column 2), and the unlocked White 38 box (formerly cyan lock). Ants clear the upper crest banner, club acronym, and cross details.
  8. Tap the final Red 35 box (front row, column 1) followed by the last White 35 box (back row, column 1). Ants carry away the remaining upper red cross fragments and outer white tips to finish the level.

  • Keep at least one slot open when dealing with locked padlock boxes so you have room to cycle fresh colours.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The picture is an oval football crest featuring red and black vertical stripes, a red cross on white, and a 180-hit central crate surrounded by a white frame. Below the nest are five slots and a four-column stack containing yellow and cyan locked boxes.
Goal
Clear all pixel blocks from the crest and break the 180-count central obstacle box using the provided ant boxes.
Opening
Send the White 35 box and front-row White 40 box first to open up the perimeter before calling in black and red ants.
Trap
Sending multiple red boxes into the slots before the outer white frame and black 1899 digits are removed clogs slots because red blocks are completely enclosed inside the shield.
Mechanic
The central crate requires 180 block carries/hits from surrounding ants to shatter, and locked padlock boxes in the stack unlock only when their corresponding colored keys are cleared from the picture.

Level 316 questions

  • How do you destroy the 180 crate in Colony Flow Level 316?
