Colony Flow! Level 394 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 394 features a red dog portrait flanked by a 400-block brown parcel, two 226-count crates, and padlocked stack boxes. The winning strategy requires clearing perimeter colours first, collecting keys from the collar and chest to unlock stack rows, and managing slot capacity while purple ants wait for crates.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 394 — full solution
- Tap Red 35 (front row, left) and Green 14 (front row, right). Red ants strip the dog's ears and forehead while green ants begin removing the collar, keeping three slots free.
- Tap Pink 46 (row 1, left) and activate the crates to release Black 33 and Purple 50. Pink ants carry outer border blocks, black ants attack the brown parcel, and Purple 50 stalls in slot 3.
- Let Green 14 strip the collar to uncover the embedded yellow key. The yellow key unlocks the padlocked box in row 1, turning it into Red 40, while Red 35 finishes and frees slot 4.
- Tap the linked Dark Green 42 and Cyan 10 pair (front row, centre). Dark green ants remove collar pixels to free a slot, while cyan ants begin carrying collar accents.
- Tap Red 40 (front row, left) and White 25 (front row, middle) as slots empty. Red ants chew through the dog's face and ears, white ants strip the muzzle, and Black 33 finishes its parcel work.
- Tap Black 55 (row 2, left) and Red 38 (row 2, right). Purple 50 finally clears the remaining crate health, freeing slot 2, while black ants dismantle the remaining parcel to reveal the white chest.
- Tap Pink 40 (front row, right) and White 7 (row 2). White ants clear the dog's chest patch to expose the cyan key, unlocking the cyan padlock on Brown 29.
- Tap Brown 29 (front row, centre), Cyan 40 (front row, right), and Pink 40. Brown ants carry away the final parcel fragments, cyan ants finish collar accents, and pink ants clear the outer border.

Moves that cost you the level
- Releasing Purple 50 early into slot 3 → purple has no exposed blocks until crates open, leaving slot 3 stalled for almost the entire run.
- Tapping the linked Dark Green 42 and Cyan 10 pair with only one free slot → linked pairs require two open slots simultaneously and cannot deploy until space is cleared.
Quick tips for Level 394
- Target the green collar early to retrieve the yellow key and unlock Red 40 in the stack.
- Keep at least two slots vacant whenever preparing to deploy linked box pairs.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel dog portrait with a green collar and pink outer border, flanked by a 400-block brown parcel and two 226-count crates. Below sit five slots and a multi-row box stack with padlocked positions.
- Goal
- Clear all blocks from the dog portrait, the brown parcel, and both crates across 5 slots. There is no timer.
- Opening
- Tap Red 35 from the front left and Green 14 from the front right to immediately begin stripping exposed perimeter blocks without jamming slots.
- Trap
- Deploying Purple 50 early occupies a slot indefinitely because purple blocks are locked inside crates until surrounding layers disappear.
- Mechanic
- Keys embedded among picture pixels unlock corresponding padlocks in the box stack once the blocks surrounding them are cleared.
Level 394 questions
-
How do you unlock the padlocked boxes in Level 394?
Clear the green collar blocks to reveal the yellow key, and clear the white chest blocks to reveal the cyan key.
-
Why does Purple 50 not move in its slot?
Purple blocks are locked within the side crates; the ants cannot harvest them until edge layers are stripped away.
