Colony Flow! Level 10 Walkthrough

Board Notes

Layout

The board opens in portrait view. The top holds a pixel-art castle with three magenta/pink onion domes, a red brick wall body, a dark navy/black outline wrapping the silhouette, a small orange door at the center, two green trees flanking the castle, and the small green corner accents over the upper-left dome. Two small dark ant holes sit on a dirt path directly below the art. The working area underneath the path is a four-row stack grid. The top row shows 8 green, 30 magenta, 36 brown, 20 red, and one empty white buffer slot at the far right. The second row shows 30 magenta, 6 orange, 30 magenta. The third row shows a small grey guard tile, 57 silver/grey, and 20 red. The fourth row shows a small grey guard tile, 15 light pink, and 58 magenta.

Goal

The 8 green plus the 39 green stack that rises into the empty buffer slot must fill the two green trees. The 30+30+30 magenta stacks plus the giant 58 magenta at the bottom of the grid must close the three pink onion domes. The 36 brown plus the two 20 red stacks must fill the brown roof bases and the red brick body. The 6 orange plus the 25 orange that rises from below must land in the small orange door. The 57 silver/grey plus the 15 light pink must handle the silver accents and the light pink highlights, and the 2 black that survives into the final beat must close the last dark outline cells.

Opening

The first confirmed tap is the 8 green stack at the top-left of the play area. Green ants leave immediately and start walking the dirt path up to the two green trees on the castle. The empty white buffer slot at the right end of the top row then receives a new 39 green stack rising from the lower rows, and that stack is tapped next so the trees close together. The third tap is the 30 magenta stack in the middle of the top row, which sends magenta ants toward the central pink onion dome, and the player keeps tapping the remaining 30 magenta stacks in the second and fourth rows in roughly the order they become available so the three domes fill in the same beat. The 36 brown and 20 red are held for one beat to let the magenta and green waves clear the dirt path.

Danger Zone

The danger zone is the empty white buffer slot in the top row. The video shows a 39 green stack rising into that slot, and the correct play is to let it carry the rest of the green tree color. If the player fills the buffer with a magenta, brown, or red click instead, that color is stranded in the slot, the dirt path loses its staging space, and the next green wave cannot reach the tree cells. The other trap is firing the 36 brown and 20 red while magenta ants are still walking the perimeter, because brown and red ants use the same dirt path as the magenta ants and a premature brown or red click stalls the entire route on the still-empty dome cells. Tapping the 57 silver/grey too early is also bad, because silver ants cross the upper edge of the castle and jam behind any dome cell that the magenta stacks have not yet closed.

Mechanics

Level 10 is a multi-stack color-routing board combined with a pixel-art completion goal and a perimeter-traffic flavor. The castle pixel art is the largest and most detailed target the player has seen so far, and the four-row stack grid is taller than the boards in Levels 1-5, so several stacks have to be active at once. The empty white buffer slot matters for the first time on this level because a brand-new green stack rises into it from the lower rows, and that buffer is what lets the green tree fill without interrupting the magenta dome fill. The two small grey guard tiles in the lower rows are unusually small and act like a quick side-clear that has to be slotted into the bigger magenta/red routing. The win cue is the full castle silhouette appearing, not the play area emptying, so the last 2 black plus 11 magenta and 3 magenta still need a clean delivery even after the bottom of the grid looks clear.
