Level 83 features a pixel art robot framed by a dark border and pedestal. Strip the outer black edges first to uncover the inner yellow, green, and white tiles. Avoid loading brown or white boxes early before their layers are exposed.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 83 — full solution

  1. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left), the Black 29 box (front row, middle-left), and the Black 25 box (front row, middle-right). Black ants immediately strip the bottom and side border blocks while Yellow 25 waits in the first slot with three slots occupied.
  2. Tap the Green 28 box (front row, right) and the Black 30 box (front row, middle). Yellow unblocks as outer black tiles vanish, and both opening black boxes finish. Yellow 24, Black 23, and Green 28 remain active across three slots.
  3. Tap the Black 28 box (front row, middle) and the Black 30 box (front row, right). Yellow 25 finishes and clears its slot. Green ants strip chest accents while black ants hollow out the lower outline across two active slots.
  4. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left). Yellow ants strip the exposed shoulders and head while the two black boxes count down to zero and exit, leaving Green 22 running in slot 4.
  5. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left), the Brown 27 box (front row, middle), and the Black 25 box (front row, right). Brown ants attack the exposed pedestal base while yellow and black dismantle the torso across four active slots.
  6. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left), the Black 25 box (front row, middle), and the White 25 box (front row, right). As the first brown layer finishes, white ants clear the outer backdrop tiles while yellow and black boxes whittle down the core.
  7. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left), the Black 30 box (front row, middle), and the Yellow 25 box (front row, right). Green finishes completely and exits. White and black ants clean up the chest borders, freeing slots for the final phase.
  8. Tap the White 25 box (front row, middle), the Yellow 25 box (front row, left), the Brown 30 box (front row, right), and the Black 25 box (front row, center). All five slots fill at once with Yellow, White, Brown, Yellow, and Black, but every colour has exposed edges and steadily counts down.
  9. Tap the Yellow 25 box (front row, left) and the Brown 25 box (front row, right). The remaining pedestal tiles, facial features, and background specks are carried into the nests, clearing the board completely.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the Brown 27 box in the opening → the pedestal is completely walled behind black borders, leaving the brown box stuck and wasting a slot.
  • Filling all five slots before clearing the outer frame → blocks cannot reach inner colours, causing an irreversible board lock.

Quick tips for Level 83

  • Prioritize Black boxes whenever they reach the front row, as black outlines cover almost every other colour on the board.
  • Keep at least one slot empty until mid-game so unexpected colour stalls can be resolved without failing.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A pixel art robot stands centered on a pedestal at the top, flanked by two nests. Below sit five empty white slots and a four-column stack of numbered ant boxes.
Goal
Strip all blocks from the robot picture. The level has no timer.
Opening
Tap the front black and yellow boxes to begin dissolving the dark outer perimeter. The black ants carve open channels that expose yellow robot blocks underneath.
Trap
Tapping Brown or White boxes before black borders are stripped will park them uselessly in slots, since neither color touches the outer boundary early on.
Mechanic
Exposed edge requirement. Ants only pick up blocks touching an open exterior edge of the remaining picture; inner tiles remain unreachable until outer layers are cleared.

Level 83 questions

  • What should I tap first on Level 83?

    Tap the front Black boxes alongside Yellow 25. Black ants quickly strip the outer frame, allowing yellow and green ants to access the inner robot.

  • Why are my White or Brown boxes not moving on Level 83?

    Ants only pick up exposed outer blocks. White and brown tiles are trapped inside or beneath the black border until the perimeter is stripped away.
