How to beat Colony Flow! Level 49 — full solution
- Tap the Purple 45 box in the front row left, the Purple 45 box in the front row middle, and the Purple 45 box in the front row right. Ants begin stripping the purple outer border across the picture while keeping two slots open.
- Tap the Light Blue 36 box in row 2 middle and the Hot Pink 45 box in row 3 right. Ants clear exposed border corners and adjacent hot pink blocks while the purple boxes continue draining.
- Tap the Hot Pink 45 box from row 2 right, followed by the newly exposed Purple 45 box in row 3 left and Purple 45 box in row 3 middle. This consumes the purple framing blocks completely, freeing slots.
- Tap the White 45 box in the center row and the Light Blue 30 box behind it. Ants harvest the perimeter white and light blue shell ridges to reach the deeper layers.
- Tap the Light Blue 5 box in the front row middle, the Blue 50 box in the locked row once freed, and the Dark Purple 34 box in row 4 right. These strip the dark trim around the inner shell.
- Tap the Hot Pink 48 box in the lower row and the Pink 40 box at the bottom right. Ants remove the fan-like seashell ribs and clear space for inner pearl layers.
- Tap the Blue 25 box in row 3 right, the White 42 box in row 4 middle, and the Pink 30 box in the bottom row. The pearl outline and remaining shell highlights begin peeling away.
- Tap the Light Blue 48 box in the bottom row and the Purple 40 box at the bottom right. Ants process the central shell interior and lower support arches.
- Tap the Pink 45 box in row 2 middle, the Purple 40 box in row 3 middle, and the Dark Purple 45 box underneath. The remaining central pearl blocks and final shell details are removed to finish the picture.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping inner pearl colours like White or Pink before clearing the surrounding Purple border → ants cannot reach enclosed blocks, leaving boxes stuck in slots.
Quick tips for Level 49
- Always target boxes matching the outer border first to expose inner details gradually.
- Keep at least one slot open so fast-clearing boxes have room to cycle.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A pixel-art seashell with a central pearl sits above a double nest, with five empty slots and a dense stack of ant boxes arranged in three columns below.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the seashell picture by deploying matching ant boxes into the five slots until their counts reach zero.
- Opening
- Deploy the three front-row Purple 45 boxes to immediately dismantle the purple frame surrounding the picture.
- Trap
- Opening the White 45 box too early stalls it in a slot because white pearl blocks are fully buried behind shell ridges.
- Mechanic
- A locked box in the central column requires key icons embedded inside the image to be uncovered before it can be tapped.
