Clear the dark outer frame and the carrot first to expose the large white bunny body. Avoid tapping white boxes early while the bunny remains enclosed. Once the exterior is stripped, deploy white ant boxes to clear the bulk of the picture.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 488 — full solution

  1. With Pink 8 and Black 30 already in the slots, tap Black 30 (row 1, column 1) and Orange 19 (row 1, column 2). The black ants strip away the lower dark background while orange ants begin carving into the carrot.
  2. Tap Pink 2 (row 1, column 3), Pink 24 (row 2, column 3), and Green 5 (row 1, column 4). Pink ants take the nose and inner ear details while green ants begin dismantling the carrot top.
  3. Tap Green 6 (row 2, column 4) to finish the carrot greens, followed by White 30 (row 1, column 1) to start clearing the now-exposed bunny paws and lower body.
  4. Tap White 30 (row 1, column 2) and White 30 (row 2, column 1) as slots clear. White ants strip the torso, cheeks, and head, leaving only the bunny ears and upper background.
  5. Tap Pink 22 (row 3, column 3) to clear the inner ear blocks, followed by Black 30 (row 3, column 4) and Black 28 (row 4, column 4) to carry away the upper dark framing.
  6. Tap White 26 (row 4, column 2) and Black 25 (bottom row) to carry off the remaining ear tips and top border pixels, clearing all slots to finish the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping White 30 from the front row before clearing the carrot and background → the bunny is completely buried inside the dark border and carrot, causing the White 30 box to jam an active slot until outer layers are removed.

Quick tips for Level 488

  • Strip the carrot completely before deploying multiple white boxes to give white ants wide surface area to work.
  • Pay attention to the small green leaf count; only two small green boxes are required to eliminate the foliage.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The pixel picture shows a white bunny holding an orange carrot with green leaves against a dark black background. Five slots sit above a four-column stack of ant boxes.
Goal
Clear all 160 pixel blocks forming the bunny, carrot, and background using the boxes in the stack.
Opening
Pink 8 and Black 30 are preloaded in the slots; tapping Black 30 and Orange 19 opens the lower edge and immediately begins stripping the carrot.
Trap
White 30 sits in the front row early, but white blocks cannot be targeted until the dark frame and carrot are dismantled.
Mechanic
Ants can only carry blocks from exposed outer edges; interior colors remain inaccessible until enclosing blocks are removed.

Level 488 questions

  • Why is my White 30 box stuck in Colony Flow! Level 488?

    White pixels form the bunny inside the picture. You must remove the surrounding black frame and orange carrot before white blocks become exposed for ants to grab.
