How to beat Colony Flow! Level 471 — full solution
- Tap the Orange 30 and Hot Pink 30 boxes in the slots at the start. Ants immediately begin clearing the exposed surfboard blocks and lower pixel border.
- Tap the Yellow 31 box and Cyan 28 box from the front row of the stack into the slots. Cyan ants clear outer sky blocks while yellow ants target exposed Pikachu pixels.
- Tap the Black 28 box into the slot as soon as a bay frees. Black ants clean up the dark borders around the character and surfboard.
- Tap the Orange 30, Yellow 36, and linked Yellow 30 + Orange 30 boxes from the upper stack rows. These ants rapidly strip away outer yellow body pixels and remaining surfboard sections.
- Tap the Cyan 34 box and Black 25 box as slots open up. Black ants continue taking down the outline blocks while cyan keeps chipping away at the sky backdrop.
- Tap the Hot Pink 24 and Cyan 30 boxes from the middle rows. Hot pink ants clear Pikachu's cheek circle and board accents, freeing the inner pixels.
- Tap the linked Yellow 38 + Cyan 25 pair into two free slots. Yellow ants attack Pikachu's face and torso, while cyan ants expand the sky clearing.
- Tap the White 30 and Black 30 boxes from the emerging stack. White ants strip the bottom edge blocks and character highlights while black ants finish outline segments.
- Tap the White 35, Yellow 35, and Cyan 35 boxes from the lower stack as bays become available. Yellow ants finish the remaining body parts and cyan works toward completing the sky.
- Tap the remaining Cyan 40, Cyan 38, Cyan 3, and Hot Pink 3 boxes to clear the final sky pixels and leftover surfboard accents, finishing the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the linked Yellow 38 + Cyan 25 pair while slots are nearly full → both boxes enter together, and if either colour lacks enough exposed edge blocks, both bays remain occupied and block further moves.
- Deploying the Hot Pink 24 box before the outer borders are removed → the cheek pixels are completely trapped inside the yellow face, causing the box to sit idle in a slot.
Quick tips for Level 471
- Focus on stripping the exterior Cyan sky and bottom border blocks early to expose inner character colours.
- Keep at least two slots open before tapping linked pairs so they do not jam the tray.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts Pikachu riding a red/pink surfboard against a light cyan background. Below the picture sit two nests, five holding slots, and a multi-row stack containing single and linked boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all pixel blocks from the picture using ant boxes from the stack. There is no visible timer.
- Opening
- Start by letting the initial Orange 30 and Hot Pink 30 boxes work on the board edge, then pull Yellow 31 and Cyan 28 to begin exposing Pikachu and the sky.
- Trap
- The inner Hot Pink 24 and Black detail boxes can easily stall if tapped before outer yellow and cyan blocks are stripped away.
- Mechanic
- Linked boxes are connected by a coloured bar and must enter the slots at the same time, requiring two empty slots to tap.
