Colony Flow! Level 422 Walkthrough
Level 422 features a pixel-art genie obstructed by two hit-counter wooden chests. Clear the Dark Purple border first to expose the chests, deploy Red and Yellow ants to smash them, and then strip the Light Blue body and White details. Never fill slots with Light Blue while the chests block the torso.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 422 — full solution
- Tap Dark Purple 34 (row 1, column 1), Dark Purple 38 (row 1, column 2), and Dark Purple 5 (row 1, column 3). Their ants strip the outer dark purple frame surrounding the genie, leaving three slots occupied alongside the starting Dark Purple boxes.
- Tap Dark Purple 8 (row 1, column 2) and Red 5 (row 1, column 1). Dark Purple continues eroding the outer border while Red ants begin chipping away at the 14-hit red chest, leaving two slots free.
- Tap Light Blue 35 (row 1, column 3) and Red 38 as it exposes in the stack. Light Blue ants harvest exposed lower perimeter blocks while Red reduces the red chest to 7 hits, keeping three slots occupied.
- Tap the linked Light Blue 5 and Grey ? pair on the right column when two slots are clear. Both boxes slide into play together, continuing the assault on the right chest and freeing the inner torso.
- Tap Yellow 5 and Red 4 into open slots. Yellow ants begin attacking the 7-hit yellow chest on the left, while Red ants shatter the red chest completely, leaving two slots open.
- Tap White 3 and Light Blue 10 into open slots. White ants clear the genie's eyes and collar while Light Blue strips the upper torso and arms, freeing two slots.
- Tap the linked Yellow 5 and Grey ? pair to eliminate the remaining 2 hits on the yellow chest. Destroying the yellow chest exposes all remaining lower-body pixels and frees three slots.
- Tap Dark Purple 40, Dark Purple 38, and Dark Purple 34 in sequence. Their ants clear the genie's top hair and beard blocks, finishing the picture and winning the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Light Blue 35 while both chests are intact → Light Blue ants cannot access the inner body blocked by the chests, leaving the box stalled in a slot.
- Tapping the linked Yellow 5 pair with only one free slot → linked pairs require two open slots simultaneously, preventing the tap until another slot empties.
Quick tips for Level 422
- Prioritize Red and Yellow boxes early to remove the chests before deploying large Light Blue stacks.
- Reserve at least two adjacent empty slots whenever a linked pair reaches the front of the stack.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel-art genie framed by Dark Purple tiles with two wooden chests (Yellow 7-hit and Red 14-hit) covering the lower chest. A five-slot buffer sits below the nest above a four-column stack.
- Goal
- Clear all blocks from the genie picture and destroy both wooden chests using the ant boxes.
- Opening
- Dark Purple 33 and 40 start in the slots; tap the front Dark Purple 34, 38, and 5 to strip the outer perimeter.
- Trap
- Tapping Light Blue boxes before destroying the Red and Yellow chests stalls those boxes in slots because their target blocks remain shielded.
- Mechanic
- Wooden chests act as multi-hit targets displaying hit counts; ants matching the chest's emblem colour attack and deplete the count until the chest shatters.

How do you break the wooden chests on Level 422?
