Colony Flow! Level 73 Walkthrough
Level 73 presents a pixel-art headphone set framing a pink heart. Tap the cyan boxes to clear the lower perimeter blocks first, then strip the dark headphone cups and headband to expose the inner heart. Avoid picking locked boxes or interior pink boxes before their surrounding layers are stripped away.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 73 — full solution
- Tap the Pink 20 box on the left, the Cyan 20 box, the Cyan 24 box, and the Pink 12 box on the right. The cyan boxes immediately strip outer light blue blocks around the base, while pink waits until border pieces clear.
- Tap the Black 20 box, the Green 20 box, and the Cyan 25 box from the front row. They gather blocks from the outer sides of the headphones, depleting the active cyan boxes so slots reopen.
- Tap the Cyan 28 box and the Black 25 box. Ants strip the outer black border and the remaining lower cyan blocks around the headphone base.
- Tap the Black 10 box, the Green 20 box, and the Orange 20 box from the newly uncovered front rows. They clear the green earpiece sections and expose the lower orange curves of the headphone cushions.
- Tap the Orange 20 box and the Orange 25 box. Ants carry away the orange cushions, unlocking the inner borders beneath the headband.
- Tap the Black 20 box, the Cyan 15 box, and the Cyan 16 box. Ants strip the top outer arch of cyan blocks and the remaining dark border segments.
- Tap the Black 25 box and the Pink 20 box. The black ants clear the dark band framing the heart, exposing the central hot pink and pink heart blocks.
- Tap the Pink 25 box, the Cyan 20 box, and the Cyan 25 box. The cyan ants finish removing the upper corner frame while pink ants begin chipping into the heart.
- Tap the Pink 25 box, the Black 20 box, and the Cyan 25 box. This strips away the final black border remnants and surrounding cyan backdrop blocks.
- Tap the Pink 25 box, the Cyan 20 box, and the final Pink 25 boxes. All remaining pink ants gather every cube from the heart, clearing the board completely.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping both interior Pink 25 boxes too early → pink blocks are trapped inside the headphone frame, clogging your slots until exterior borders are stripped.
- Tapping the locked Green box before clearing surrounding blocks → locked boxes cannot activate until their unlock conditions are met, leaving fewer actionable choices.
Quick tips for Level 73
- Always target cyan boxes at the start since cyan forms the outermost boundary of the headphones picture.
- Keep at least one slot empty when rotating between black and green boxes to prevent getting clogged by slow-draining colours.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture shows a pair of headphones surrounding a pink heart on a light backdrop. Below it are two ant nests, five holding slots, and a multi-row stack of ant boxes.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks from the headphones and heart picture using the ants from the boxes.
- Opening
- Start with the Pink 20, Cyan 20, Cyan 24, and Pink 12 boxes across the front row. The cyan ants start working immediately along the lower edges.
- Trap
- Sending multiple Pink boxes into slots early stalls your progress because the pink heart is completely enclosed by the headphone band and cushions.
- Mechanic
- Ants can only pick up exposed blocks from the outer perimeter of the remaining image. Blocks trapped on the interior cannot be targeted until surrounding layers clear.
Level 73 questions
-
Which colour should I tap first on Level 73?
Tap Cyan boxes first. Cyan forms the outer border of the headphones, allowing ants to work immediately without filling slots with idle boxes.
