How to beat Colony Flow! Level 428 — full solution
- With Green 68, Green 44, Beige 59, and Brown 46 already active in the slots, tap Dark Green 50 in row 1, far left. It fills the final slot and strips the bottom and left sections of the outer dark green frame.
- Tap Light Green 40 in row 1, second from left, and Dark Green 45 in row 1, third from left into the newly emptied slots. They consume the outer border layers while Black 50 in row 1, far right enters behind them to chip at the night sky.
- Tap Beige 45 in row 2, far left, followed by Black 40 in row 2, second from left. They clear the exposed sail patches and upper sky blocks, leaving two slots free.
- Tap Dark Purple 40 in row 2, third from left, and Dark Purple 40 in row 3, far left. They carry away the deep purple sky surrounding the boat's mast, uncovering the yellow key resting on the deck.
- Tap Brown 23 in row 3, second from left once its yellow padlock unlocks, followed by Light Green 30 in row 3, third from left. They strip the ship's mast and inner green border lines.
- Tap the linked Dark Purple 25 in row 4, far right and its linked partner box. They enter two adjacent slots together and harvest the remaining purple sky behind the sails.
- Tap Light Green 35 in row 4, second from left, and Light Green 35 in row 4, third from left. They eliminate the green pixel accents along the hull and lower frame, freeing three slots.
- Tap Green 43 and Green 42 from the lower rows once the cyan padlock unfastens. They dismantle the remaining lower and side frame sections.
- Tap Dark Green 35, Dark Purple 50, and Green 10 from the bottom row into the open slots. They carry away the final corner frame and upper sky blocks to win the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Dark Purple 40 before the outer green frame and sails are peeled away -> dark purple blocks form the background sky and are completely covered, leaving the box stuck in a slot.
- Attempting to slide the linked Dark Purple 25 pair into the slots when fewer than two slots are empty -> linked boxes require two vacant spaces simultaneously and cannot move.
Quick tips for Level 428
- Work from the outer frame inward; removing exterior border pixels is essential to expose the ship deck and free the embedded keys.
- Reserve two empty slots before touching any linked box pair so you never stall waiting for space.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a sailing ship framed by outer green borders against a dark purple sky. Keys rest on the ship deck, locking several boxes in the lower stack rows.
- Goal
- Carry away all pixel blocks using the ant boxes in the five designated slots without completely filling the slots with stuck colours.
- Opening
- Green, Beige, and Brown boxes begin active in the slots; filling the fifth slot with Dark Green 50 safely targets the outermost exposed border layer.
- Trap
- Deploying Dark Purple boxes too early will stall them in the slots because the dark purple night sky is shielded by the boat and outer border.
- Mechanic
- Padlocked boxes in the stack require matching keys from the pixel picture to unlock, while linked boxes deploy in pairs and require two available slots.
