How to beat Colony Flow! Level 543 — full solution
- Tap Brown 40 (row 1, col 1) and White 40 (row 1, col 4). The brown and white ants begin dismantling the two massive brown crates and the outer white border at the bottom corners.
- Tap Hot Pink 35 (row 1, col 2) and Pink 5 (row 1, col 3). As the front row clears, tap Red 6 (row 2, col 2) and Black 40 (row 2, col 4) to strip the lower collar borders.
- Tap Brown 35 (row 1, col 1) and Brown 35 (row 1, col 4) as the 150 and 200 brown crates finish dissolving. The brown ants begin eating into the bear's chin and lower fur.
- Release Beige 29, Brown 22, and Cyan 11 into the open slots in any order. They clear the bear's muzzle and lower cyan background accents, freeing up slots for the chest area.
- Tap Hot Pink 31, Hot Pink 3, Black 13, and Pink 4. Their ants strip the red and pink neckerchief, shirt stripes, and mouth outlines, exposing the white shirt blocks underneath.
- Release Cyan 8 and Cyan 40 to clear outer cyan sky blocks, followed by White 4 and Brown 31. White and brown ants chip away at the shirt and the bear's left cheek.
- Tap Black 43 (front row, col 3) and Brown 20 (front row, col 2). Black ants dismantle the dark sailor cap brim and facial outlines, exposing the inner white hat crown without jamming the slots.
- Release White 34 (row 3, col 2), Cyan 45 (row 1, col 1), Brown 38 (row 1, col 4), Brown 20 (row 2, col 2), and revealed White 20 in any order. They collect the last cap stripes and ear blocks to finish the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Cyan 45 before Black 43 strips the hat brim -> cyan ants cannot reach the inner crown stripes, leaving the cyan box stuck in a slot.
- Filling all five slots with high-count Brown boxes while the crates are still blocking the picture -> no slots remain for accent colours to expose inner layers.
Quick tips for Level 543
- Always focus on the 150 and 200 brown block piles first, as they conceal the bottom half of the sailor uniform.
- Alternate between large Brown boxes and small 3- to 6-count boxes so slots cycle quickly.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A sailor bear pixel portrait occupies the top board, initially blocked at the bottom by two large brown crates numbered 150 and 200. Five holding slots sit in the centre above a four-column stack of ant boxes containing mystery and locked boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all blocks from the pixel picture by feeding ant boxes into the 5 slots until every block is carried away.
- Opening
- Tap Brown 40 and White 40 to chip away at the bottom crates and outer border blocks, keeping three slots free.
- Trap
- Tapping the Cyan boxes before the Black 43 box clears the dark sailor hat brim leaves cyan ants unable to reach the hidden crown, stalling in a slot.
- Mechanic
- Padlocks on several stack boxes prevent them from being selected until their corresponding key icons are freed from the picture.
