How to beat Colony Flow! Level 516 — full solution
- Tap the front-row Cyan 35, Cyan 30, and Cyan 35 boxes, followed by Cyan 30 from row 2. The ants clear the outer sea border around the bottom and right edges of the dolphin.
- Send the revealed White 30, White 18, and Black 25 boxes into the slots. White ants clear the exposed belly pixels while Black ants begin peeling away the lower outline.
- Tap the Black 22 box and the revealed White 20 box from the left column along with Cyan 35. This strips the remaining white spray and lower belly, opening up the inner body.
- Tap Cyan 35, Cyan 30, and the revealed Black 30 from the middle column. The ants clear the bulk of the dolphin's cyan torso and outline around the tail and dorsal fin.
- Tap the remaining Black 25, Cyan 32, and Cyan 36 boxes. They dismantle the dolphin's head, beak, and upper fin outline.
- Allow the final Cyan box to finish carrying away the last cluster of blocks at the top of the board. The picture clears completely and the level is won.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping White 30 as soon as it reaches the front row → the dolphin's white belly is still shielded by outer cyan blocks, leaving White stuck in a slot.
- Tapping Black 25 before clearing the tail and belly border → Black ants cannot reach the buried outline pixels, jamming the slot.
Quick tips for Level 516
- Prioritize Cyan boxes early to remove the sea frame and expose the interior White and Black pixels.
- Leave at least one slot open when mystery boxes reach the front row to prevent sudden deadlocks.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A 5-slot rack sits below a dolphin pixel image. Under the slots, the stack features three columns of ant boxes with three visible rows and additional rows underneath.
- Goal
- Clear all Cyan, White, and Black blocks from the dolphin picture using ant boxes from the stack before running out of slots.
- Opening
- Tap the three front-row Cyan boxes (Cyan 35, Cyan 30, Cyan 35). Cyan surrounds the entire perimeter, so ants immediately have exposed targets.
- Trap
- Tapping Black or White boxes before Cyan strips their outer perimeter. The interior pixels remain blocked, causing Black or White boxes to stall in the slots.
- Mechanic
- Mystery boxes marked with question marks conceal their ant colour until they reach the front row of the stack.

Which boxes should I tap first on Level 516?
Tap the three front-row Cyan boxes. Cyan forms the entire outer boundary of the board, allowing ants to clear immediately without jamming any slots.
