Colony Flow! Level 71 Walkthrough
Level 71 features a puppy portrait surrounded by a green lawn and a pink flower. The key idea is to clear the outer green and white borders first so inner black and orange blocks become exposed. Avoid trapping slots with unexposed interior colours early.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 71 — full solution
- Tap Green 26 (column 1, row 2), Green 30 (column 1, row 3), White 26 (column 2, row 2), and Black 26 (column 4, row 1). With Black 20 already in slot 1, all five slots are now occupied. Green and white ants begin clearing the outer borders; black ants wait.
- As Green 26 finishes, tap Green 25 (column 1, row 4) into slot 2. Green ants continue stripping the picture's green background border, while white ants clear the outer white edges. White 26 and Green 30 finish, leaving slots 3 and 4 free.
- Tap Orange 22 (column 2, row 1) into slot 3 and Black 20 (column 4, row 2) into slot 4. When Green 25 finishes in slot 2, tap Green 20 (column 1, row 3). Black ants now rapidly remove exposed black outlines. Both Black 20 boxes clear, freeing slots 1 and 4.
- Tap Green 25 (column 1, row 4) into slot 1 and White 14 (column 3, row 1) into slot 4. When Green 20 finishes, tap White 20 (column 3, row 2) into slot 2. Black 26, Green 25, and White 14 finish consecutively, leaving three slots free.
- Tap Grey 20 (column 3, row 2) into slot 1 and White 25 (column 3, row 3) into slot 4. White ants work through the puppy's face and paws while Orange 22 clears exposed fur. White 20 finishes, leaving slot 2 free.
- Tap White 25 (column 3, row 4) into slot 2. Grey 20 finishes, then tap Green 25 (column 1, row 4) into slot 1. White 25 and Orange 22 clear out. Tap Pink 20 (column 2, row 3) into slot 3 and Orange 20 (column 2, row 2) into slot 4.
- Pink ants clear the pink flower, releasing the yellow key to unlock the padlocked box in column 1, row 1. Green 25 and White 25 finish. Tap the unlocked Green 20 (column 1, row 1) into slot 1 and White 14 (column 4, row 4) into slot 2.
- Orange 20 and Orange 25 finish. Tap Orange 25 (column 2, row 4) into slot 3 and Orange 14 (column 4, row 2) into slot 4. Green 20 finishes, then tap Green 25 (column 1, row 3) into slot 1. White 14 finishes in slot 2.
- Tap White 22 (column 3, row 4) into slot 2. Tap Orange 14 (column 4, row 3) into slot 4 as earlier boxes empty. The ants clear the remaining orange fur and white patch. The final boxes reach zero and the picture is completely cleared.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Orange 22 or Orange 20 in the very first phase → Orange fur blocks are completely surrounded by green and white borders, causing the orange box to stall in a slot until border clearance finishes.
- Sending Pink 20 before the surrounding green grass is removed → Pink ants cannot reach the flower until the edge is exposed, tying up a slot needlessly.
Quick tips for Level 71
- Always target colours that touch the outer boundary of the canvas before picking colours that form the centre of the image.
- Keep at least one slot cycling quickly with active border colours so you never hit a full five-slot stall.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A puppy pixel-art portrait sits inside a canvas frame with two nest holes below it, five bay slots, and a lower grid of four columns of ant boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the puppy and flower picture before the 5m:36s countdown timer reaches zero.
- Opening
- Slot 1 starts pre-loaded with Black 20. Tap Green 26, Green 30, White 26, and Black 26 to clear the outer borders and begin exposing inner layers.
- Trap
- Tapping Orange boxes early when no orange fur touches the border freezes a slot, leaving too little buffer space for active colours.
- Mechanic
- The padlocked Green box at the top of column 1 stays locked until pink ants clear the flower holding the embedded yellow key.
Level 71 questions
-
How do I unlock the padlocked box in Level 71?
Clear the pink flower on the left side of the puppy using the Pink 20 box. Uncovering the flower releases the yellow key, which opens the locked box.
