Colony Flow! Level 481 Walkthrough
Clear an 800-block pixel art cat against a cyan sky. Strip the outer sky first to reach the pink and green keys embedded in the cat's head and ear. Avoid filling the five slots with locked or unexposed mouth colours before unlocking the keys.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 481 — full solution
- Tap Cyan 55 (front row, far left), Light Blue 55 (front row, middle), and Light Blue 55 (front row, second from right). Their ants start carrying away the vast cyan sky border surrounding the cat.
- Tap Cyan 55 (front row, far right) and Yellow 54 (front row, second from left) once the yellow sparkles in the sky become exposed. The background thins down, freeing the next row of the stack.
- Tap Cyan 55, Cyan 60, and Light Blue 55 from the newly uncovered front row. This exposes the outer edges of the cat, including the brown base and the pink ear containing Pink Key 125.
- Tap Orange 28 and Orange 20 to begin dismantling the lower fur and base. Ants reach Pink Key 125, unlocking Hot Pink 40 deeper in the stack.
- Tap Yellow 55 and Red 30 to peel the outer yellow fur and mouth perimeter. This exposes Green Key 150 on the head sprout and unlocks Green 50.
- Tap Hot Pink 40 and Pink 35 to clear the inner ear and the pink lip around the mouth, preventing slot jams while the mouth interior is exposed.
- Tap Green 50 (front row, far right) to clear the three-leaf sprout atop the cat's head. Collect the revealed Grey ? mystery box as it moves to the front row.
- Tap the linked Cyan 11 + Yellow 15 pair alongside Red 45 to clear the deep red interior of the cat's open mouth and the adjacent yellow cheek blocks.
- Tap Light Blue 57, Cyan 36, and the final Cyan 1 box in any order to strip the last remaining edge pixels and clear the board.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Red 45 or Red 30 before the cat's mouth perimeter is stripped → red mouth blocks are entirely enclosed by yellow and pink, causing the red box to sit idle in a slot.
- Ignoring the locked Green 50 box while opening too many orange and yellow boxes → fills all five slots before Green Key 150 can be collected by the ants.
Quick tips for Level 481
- Prioritize peeling the layers directly over the keys: clear the left ear for Pink Key 125 and the top center sprout for Green Key 150.
- Keep at least two slots open whenever working near linked boxes so they can both drop into the bays simultaneously.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- An 800-block square canvas depicting a screaming yellow cat with a green sprout on its head, pink ear accents, and a wide red mouth, set against a cyan sky with yellow sparkles. Below the picture are five slots and a five-column stack of ant boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all 800 picture blocks by dispatching the corresponding colored ant boxes from the stack into the five slots.
- Opening
- Start by deploying the front-row Cyan and Light Blue boxes. Since the outer perimeter is entirely cyan sky, these boxes drain immediately without risk of stalling.
- Trap
- Red 30 and Red 45 are trapped behind the cat's outer yellow fur and pink mouth border; deploying them prematurely blocks a slot until those outer layers are completely removed.
- Mechanic
- Two boxes in the stack are padlocked: Hot Pink 40 requires Pink Key 125 (embedded in the left ear), and Green 50 requires Green Key 150 (embedded in the sprout).
Level 481 questions
-
How do I unlock Green 50 in Level 481?
Direct your ants to clear the cyan sky above the cat's head to uncover the green sprout, which houses Green Key 150.
-
Why is my red ant box stuck in the slot?
The red blocks are inside the cat's mouth and cannot be reached until the yellow fur and pink mouth outline are stripped away.
