How to beat Colony Flow! Level 479 — full solution

  1. With White 49 and White 52 already active in the slots, tap the front-row White 52, Brown 35, and Brown 35 boxes in any order. The ants strip the white frame along the bottom arc and the brown ground, exposing the orange layers and freeing embedded picture boxes.
  2. Tap Green 15, Green 10, and Light Green 40 from the stack in any order, while freed embedded Green 37, Cyan 10, and Blue 40 enter the slots. The ants carry away the lower green foliage and central cyan lake, leaving two slots free.
  3. Tap Orange 25, Orange 21, Green 16, Light Green 5, and Light Blue 38 into the slots. The ants clear the orange terrace and green hills, uncovering the black mountain silhouette and freeing upper picture elements.
  4. Tap Black 14, Black 21, Light Green 1, and Light Blue 24 into the slots. The ants strip the lower black mountain and begin excavating the light blue sky, exposing the white clouds and yellow sun.
  5. Tap White 27, Orange 51, Black 19, Light Blue 24, and Light Green 9 into the slots, followed by Light Blue 40 and Light Blue 50. The ants remove the remaining black mountain blocks, white clouds, and yellow sun, clearing almost all slots.
  6. Tap the final Light Blue 4 box into the first slot. Its ants carry away the final cluster of light blue sky blocks at the top of the board to complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the front Light Blue or Blue boxes while the lower ground is intact → Light blue and blue sky blocks are inaccessible behind the mountain, clogging slots until the foreground is cleared.
  • Filling all five slots before uncovering embedded boxes like Green 37 or Cyan 10 → Embedded boxes cannot enter full slots, delaying progress on internal picture layers.

Quick tips for Level 479

  • Clear from the bottom rim inward: strip the white and brown border blocks first so the middle orange and green layers become exposed.
  • Keep at least one slot open whenever clearing blocks near embedded picture boxes to let them deploy immediately.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A landscape scene inside a square frame features a central black mountain, green hills, cyan water, orange ground, a brown base, white clouds, and a yellow sun, framed by a curved white perimeter at the bottom. Five slots sit beneath the image above a three-column stack of ant boxes.
Goal
Clear all coloured blocks from the landscape picture.
Opening
White 49 and White 52 start pre-loaded in the slots; tap the front White 52 and both Brown 35 boxes immediately to peel away the bottom white border and brown soil.
Trap
Tapping Black, Light Blue, or Yellow boxes too early stalls the slots because those colours form the mountain and sky deep inside the upper picture and are completely blocked by the lower ground layers.
Mechanic
Embedded numbered boxes are hidden directly inside the pixel art; stripping the blocks around them automatically frees them into available slots.

Level 479 questions

  • What should I tap first on Level 479?

    Tap the front White 52 box alongside both Brown 35 boxes to clear the outer lower rim and brown earth, exposing the green and orange inner layers.

  • Why do my slots jam mid-puzzle on Level 479?

    Do not select sky or mountain colours while green and orange blocks still cover the center. Always work layer by layer from the bottom up.
