How to beat Colony Flow! Level 550 — full solution
- Tap Yellow 35 (front row, column 1) and Cyan 31 (front row, column 2). Yellow ants start peeling the outer sunburst rays on the far left, while Cyan ants dig into the bottom water blocks to expose the submerged red key.
- Tap the linked Yellow 30 (front row, column 3) and Cyan 40 (front row, column 4) pair, then move the locked Red box into the middle slot. Cyan ants continue uncovering the key while Yellow ants strip the upper-left sunburst.
- Tap Yellow 28 and Yellow 45 from the front row as they unlock. Yellow ants systematically chew through the thick yellow rays across the left and upper sections of the picture, opening paths to the inner layers.
- With the red key collected and the padlock removed, let Red 28 and Red 14 clear the red blocks along the top-left outer border. This completely strips the outermost edge and reveals the underlying orange blocks.
- Tap Orange 1, Cyan 4, and Cyan 19 in any order as they reach the front row. Orange ants quickly finish the small cluster of orange rays, and Cyan ants trim the border around the central core.
- Tap Purple 25 (front row, column 1) and Blue 30 (front row, column 2). Ants attack the upper and outer edges of the cosmic crescent on the right side of the canvas, clearing exposed purple blocks.
- Tap Blue 42 and Cyan 27 into the open slots. Their ants clear the horizontal blue and cyan ocean bands running across the bottom half of the picture.
- Tap the remaining Pink 50, Hot Pink 35, and Blue 40 boxes in any order. The ants clear the remaining pink, purple, and blue pixels from the center of the arc to finish the picture.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Purple 25 from the stack early → Purple blocks in the crescent are entirely shielded by outer cyan and yellow layers, causing the box to freeze in a slot and block progress.
- Neglecting the bottom cyan water → The red key stays buried under cyan blocks, preventing the locked red boxes from activating and stalling the entire top-left section.
Quick tips for Level 550
- Prioritize freeing the red key in the lower cyan water to ensure red boxes unlock before the slot buffer fills up.
- Check connected vertical pairs in the stack before tapping to avoid accidentally dropping an inactive colour into the slots.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture shows a left-side yellow and red sunburst meeting a right-side purple and blue celestial crescent above ocean waves. Five slots sit above a four-row stack with multiple vertically linked boxes.
- Goal
- Carry away all pixel blocks to reveal the empty canvas. A red key is embedded within the lower cyan ocean area and must be collected to unlock the red ant box.
- Opening
- Tap Yellow 35 on the left and Cyan 31 beside it. Yellow removes the exposed outer rays while Cyan clears the water covering the red key.
- Trap
- Purple and Pink blocks form the inner core and right crescent, completely buried beneath yellow, cyan, and red layers. Tapping Purple 25 early clogs a slot indefinitely.
- Mechanic
- Locked boxes require their matching key to be uncovered from the picture. Once the blocks covering the key are removed by ants, the key flies to the padlock and activates the box.
Level 550 questions

How do I unlock the red box in Level 550?
Send cyan ants to clear the bottom ocean blocks. The red key is hidden inside the water on the left side and unlocks the red box automatically when freed.
