How to beat Colony Flow! Level 453 — full solution

  1. Tap the Green 30 box (front row, left) and Green 28 box (front row, middle) to clear the bottom green grass and reveal the lower pink and yellow layers.
  2. Tap the White 48 box (stack row 2, left) and Pink 16 box (stack row 2, right) into free slots; white clears the surrounding border while pink removes exposed pink sunset blocks.
  3. Tap the Black 26 box (stack row 2, middle) and Dark Purple 25 box (stack row 4, middle) once the dark palm tree outline becomes exposed.
  4. Tap the Yellow 38 box (stack row 3, right) and Pink 35 box (stack row 3, left) to strip away the sunset sky behind the palm fronds.
  5. Tap the White 35 box (stack row 3, middle) and Green 24 box (stack row 4, right) to finish the ground and border edges.
  6. Tap the Yellow 48 box and Yellow 41 box as they become available to clear the upper circular sunset behind the palm silhouette.
  7. Tap the Pink 20 box and Pink 15 box to clear the mid-level sunset bands.
  8. Tap the remaining Dark Purple boxes (Dark Purple 30, Dark Purple 25) and mystery boxes to clear the palm leaves, trunk, and final inner tiles.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the Black 26 box before clearing the border and grass → the palm tree blocks are fully enclosed inside the sunset, leaving the box stuck and clogging a slot.

Quick tips for Level 453

  • Prioritize clearing the white border tiles and green base first to expose large surface areas of pink and yellow.
  • Keep at least one slot open when releasing mystery boxes in case their revealed colour is not immediately exposed on the board.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The picture shows a palm tree silhouette against a circular sunset with yellow and pink horizontal bands, resting on green grass, all framed in white.
Goal
Clear all pixel blocks on the board using ant boxes drawn from the stack into the five slots.
Opening
Begin by deploying the Green 30 and Green 28 boxes already resting in the front row slots to immediately peel away the grass base.
Trap
The Black 26 and Dark Purple boxes in the upper stack rows correspond to the inner palm trunk and leaves; sending them out before the sky layers are peeled off will stall the slots.
Mechanic
Boxes enter the five middle slots when tapped from the front row of the stack; their ants can only harvest blocks that have an exposed external perimeter edge.

Level 453 questions
