How to beat Colony Flow! Level 452 — full solution
- Tap the Yellow 48 box in the front row. It enters a slot and begins clearing the exposed yellow sun blocks in the upper right sky.
- Tap the White 30 box from the front row and the Beige 25 box from the front row right. The white ants strip the top clouds while beige clears the swimmer's exposed limb accents.
- Tap the Blue 7 box and a Light Blue box as they reach the front row. They remove the horizon line and outer ocean perimeter while Yellow counts down toward the swimmer's headband.
- Tap the Light Blue 36 box into the open slot. The ants clear the wide upper bands of ocean water, opening access toward the purple mountain ridge above.
- Tap the Purple 25 box from the front row left. Purple ants dismantle the mountain range across the upper half of the canvas.
- Deploy the uncovered Light Blue boxes from the front row in sequence. Their ants clear the main body of sea water surrounding the central swimmer.
- Allow the Black 21 box, which was stalled in slot 1, to begin working on the swimmer's newly exposed black hair as White 6, Beige 22, and Yellow 7 clear the face and clothing.
- Tap the remaining Light Blue boxes from the stack. The last ants pick up the final stray water blocks in the upper right to complete the board.

Moves that cost you the level
- Filling all five slots with Light Blue boxes before clearing the top layer → Black 21 and partial boxes clog the slots, causing a deadlock before the character's inner colours are reached.
- Tapping Purple 25 before white clouds are cleared → the purple mountain blocks remain partially buried, preventing Purple 25 from emptying quickly.
Quick tips for Level 452
- Black 21 occupies a slot for most of the level because the swimmer's hair is buried deep inside; treat the board as having only four usable slots.
- Prioritize the outer perimeter (white clouds and upper sun) to uncover the large ocean expanse efficiently.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a pixel-art character swimming in a light blue ocean under a purple mountain range, white clouds, and a yellow sun. Below are five slots and a four-column stack of ant boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all pixel blocks from the picture using the numbered ant boxes in the stack before running out of free slots.
- Opening
- With Black 21 already occupying a slot, start by tapping Yellow 48, White 30, and Beige 25 to chip away the outer sun, clouds, and frame.
- Trap
- Black 21 stays stalled in slot 1 until the central character's hair is uncovered late in the solve. Never fill the remaining four slots with unexposed colours.
- Mechanic
- Ants can only carry blocks that touch an exposed outer edge of the remaining picture; inner colours cannot be collected until outer layers are removed.
Level 452 questions
-
Why is the Black 21 box not doing anything in Colony Flow! Level 452?
Black blocks form the swimmer's hair, which is completely surrounded by ocean water. It will only begin working once the light blue water around the swimmer is cleared.
