How to beat Colony Flow! Level 45 — full solution

  1. Tap the Green 25 box (front row, left), the Dark Purple 38 box (front row, right), and the Blue 38 box (front row, middle). Their ants strip the exposed bottom greenery, upper purple border corners, and blue frame sections. Three slots are now in use.
  2. Tap the Green 25 box (front row, middle), the Dark Purple 45 box (front row, right), and the White 34 box (front row, left). They continue clearing the outer green foliage, dark purple frame tiles, and the outer white background. Four slots are active.
  3. Tap the Blue 30 box (front row, middle), the Red 30 box (front row, left), and the Black 32 box (front row, right). These clear remaining outer border sections, opening up the outer red border and black structural outlines. Three slots are active.

  5. Tap the Red 28 box (front row, left) followed by the Black 45 box (front row, left). They dismantle the red outer monitor casing and exposed black edge blocks. Two slots are in use.
  6. Tap the Light Blue 27 box (front row, left) and the Pink 25 box (front row, left). Ants begin carrying away the light blue screen interior and the pink letters. Two slots are occupied.
  7. Tap the White 42 box (front row, left), the Green 25 box (front row, middle), and the Pink 28 box (front row, right). They strip the white backdrop behind the monitor, the green accents, and pink details. Three slots are active.
  8. Tap the Red 80 box (front row, left) and the Blue 39 box (front row, right). Ants work through the large red monitor trim and blue keyboard base. Four slots are active.
  9. Tap the Black 44 box (front row, right), the Pink 33 box (front row, middle), and the White 25 box (front row, right). They dismantle the remaining dark outlines, pink monitor details, and screen highlights. Three slots are in use.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the Red 80 box too early → large count boxes take a long time to clear and clog a slot while outer white and frame blocks still cover most red pixels.
  • Uncovering and tapping Light Blue 27 before the white background is stripped → light blue blocks inside the monitor screen are completely buried and will freeze in the slot.

Quick tips for Level 45

  • Prioritize clearing the white background boxes whenever they reach the front row, as white blocks surround and block access to almost every colored component.
  • Keep at least one slot empty when uncovering high-count boxes so smaller buffer boxes can cycle through.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A pixel-art gaming PC setup with a monitor, keyboard, and joystick sitting inside a patterned square frame. Five empty slots sit above a three-column stack of ant boxes.
Goal
Clear all 27 ant boxes in the stack by stripping every colored pixel from the gaming setup image.
Opening
Send the front-row Green 25, Dark Purple 38, and Blue 38 boxes into slots first because the outermost edges of the picture consist exclusively of green foliage and border tiles.
Trap
The locked Green 23 box at the base of the stack requires a green key trapped deep inside the lower image, so all other colors must be cleared to reach it.
Mechanic
Padlocked boxes remain untappable until the matching key is exposed and hauled away by ants from the picture.
