Colony Flow! Level 515 Walkthrough

normal Live 5 colours / pieces Checked September 20, 2026

Level 515 presents a pufferfish pixel art board framed by a cyan background. Clear outer spines and background tiles to uncover the fish's inner red body and belly, while reserving two empty slots for linked cyan boxes. Avoid clogging slots with buried red boxes early.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 515 — full solution

  1. Tap Pink 34 at front row, column 1, then White 35 at front row, column 5. Pink ants target outer spine pixels while White prepares for belly blocks, leaving Black 25 in slot 2 to continue stripping exposed outline spikes.
  2. Tap Cyan 34 at front row, column 2. The ants clear the perimeter cyan background blocks, opening space around the fish and reducing Pink 34 to 4 and Black 25 to 6, leaving one slot free.
  3. Tap White 34 at front row, column 1, and Red 38 at front row, column 4 once Black 25 finishes. Red ants strip exposed upper body tiles while White works along the lower belly.
  4. Tap Black 25 at front row, column 4, followed by Cyan 34 at front row, column 5. Black continues chipping outline edges and Cyan removes upper background tiles, leaving Pink 11 idle in slot 1.
  5. Tap Pink 35 at front row, column 3 as White 12 and Cyan 34 finish. Pink ants strip newly exposed body highlights, draining both Pink 35 and Pink 11 simultaneously.
  6. Tap the linked Cyan 20 and Cyan 40 pair into the two free slots on the right. Both cyan boxes drain rapidly in parallel down to Cyan 16 as the remaining upper background collapses.
  7. Tap Cyan 40 at front row, column 1, White 35 at front row, column 3, and Red 18 at front row, column 2. Cyan clears remaining blue tiles while Red and White carve out the pufferfish core.
  8. Tap Black 25 at front row, column 2 into the free slot. Black ants strip the remaining eye and mouth pixels while the linked Cyan boxes drain to zero, clearing the board completely.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the linked Cyan pair when fewer than two slots are free → linked boxes require two open slots simultaneously and cannot be deployed.
  • Tapping Red 38 before black and pink outlines are cleared → red pixels are buried under outer spines, causing Red 38 to stall in a slot.

Quick tips for Level 515

  • Clear the surrounding Cyan background early to expose outer dorsal and tail spines.
  • Keep at least two slots vacant when linked boxes reach the front row so they deploy together without stalling.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A square pixel canvas features a spiky pufferfish set against a cyan background, with a single nest hole below it and five holding slots. The stack below is arranged in five columns containing single and linked ant boxes.
Goal
Remove all colored blocks from the pufferfish image by routing ant boxes into the five slots. There is no countdown timer on this level.
Opening
Pink 11 and Black 25 already occupy slots 1 and 2. Tap Pink 34 and White 35 to target outer spine pixels while black outline spikes are cleared.
Trap
The linked Cyan pair occupies two slots at once; deploying it without two empty slots or before sufficient cyan blocks are exposed causes an instant buffer clog.
Mechanic
Linked boxes joined by a connecting bar must enter two slots together, requiring two adjacent or available slots to deploy.

Level 515 questions

  • What do I tap first in Colony Flow! Level 515?

    Tap Pink 34 and White 35 from the front row. They chip away at exposed outer spines and belly tiles without filling the remaining buffer slots.

  • How do I handle the linked Cyan boxes on Level 515?

    Ensure you have two empty slots available before tapping either linked Cyan box, as both enter the slots together and clear background tiles in parallel.
