How to beat Colony Flow! Level 458 — full solution

  1. Tap the White 29 box in the leftmost slot and the Black 50 box in the front row, middle. White clears the outer boundary pixels while Black strips outer outline borders.
  2. Tap the Light Green 25 box in the front row, right. Its ants remove the cat's light green head outline, opening up adjacent blocks.
  3. Tap the Pink 35 box and White 30 box from the second row as they slide forward. Pink begins tearing down the massive fish belly, exposing inner black lines and keys.
  4. Tap the Black 50 box and Light Green 25 box from the third row as slots open up. Black consumes the lower outline edge while Light Green clears the upper ears.
  5. Tap the Pink 30 box and Light Green 28 box from the fourth row. Pink clears out the bulk of the fish body, releasing the green key located in the middle.
  6. With the green key retrieved, the locked Green 28 box unlocks at the base. Tap the Green 28 box and any newly surfaced White boxes to finish dismantling the face and remaining whiskers.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping inner cat face boxes before clearing the black outlines → the ants have no exposed path to internal blocks, clogging the five slots.
  • Delaying the pink boxes → the fish body blocks access to the green key, leaving the locked Green 28 trapped in the stack.

Quick tips for Level 458

  • Work from the outer fish body inward to rapidly free the keys embedded along the seam.
  • Keep at least one slot empty while working through the deep layers to prevent accidental stalls.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A pixel image showing a green cat sitting on top of a wide pink fish. Five ant slots sit below the nest hole, above a deep stack with a locked box at the bottom.
Goal
Clear all coloured blocks in the pixel art using the boxes provided in the stack across 5 slots.
Opening
Start with the White 29 box, Black 50 box, and Light Green 25 box to strip the exterior border and ears.
Trap
Attempting to clear the green cat face before the black outline is removed will leave green boxes stuck in slots with no exposed targets.
Mechanic
Keys embedded in the pixel art unlock padlocked boxes in the stack once the surrounding blocks are collected.
