Colony Flow! Level 117 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 117 is a hooded cat-face portrait hidden behind a huge pink shell. Drain the long pink opener first, then route the green cheeks and yellow face ring before the white muzzle stacks and late dark side outlines share the single ant hole.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 117 — Full Solution
- Tap the tiny pink 3 first, then keep draining the pink opener row with pink 29, pink 30, and pink 37. Those first waves own the hood, the top border, and the heart frame.
- Feed the next pink refills as they rise, including mid-size pink waves such as 43, 35, 24, 17, and 10. Keep the dark 9 waiting so the single hole stays dedicated to finishing the shell.
- Once the hidden face is visible, bring in the first green stack to start the lower cheeks, then send the yellow face-ring wave. Those two colors establish the round inner portrait and open the lower-center route.
- Drop the orange mini-stack only after green and yellow are already moving. That small accent finishes the center nose / beak detail without stealing the route from the larger face colors.
- Use the white stacks after the green cheeks and most of the yellow ring are already in place. White then clears the muzzle cleanly while the dark 9, the later dark 5, and the final dark outline wave can safely clear the two side whisker arcs and the last eye / outline details.
- Clear the run with the remaining pink top-corner cleanup and the final tiny yellow / white face cells. The level clears when the hood is gone and the cleared cat face with both dark side outlines locks in.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Green, Yellow, Orange, White, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping the dark 9 or the later dark 5 before the pink shell is mostly cleared, which clogs the hole and strands the last hood cells.
- Sending white before the green cheeks and yellow face ring have opened the center, which parks white ants on the muzzle and delays the side outlines.
- Treating the face colors as the opener instead of finishing the pink shell first. Level 117 is solved from the perimeter inward.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 117 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the full pink family as the opener, even when the dark 9 looks like an easy quick tap.
- Start green before white so the lower cheeks open the center lane for the muzzle.
- Save the dark mini-stacks for late side-outline cleanup after the yellow face ring is already stable.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board opens in portrait view with a giant pink hood already exposed around a solid brown center block, plus a small white heart near the top of the picture. A single dark ant hole sits below the frame. The 5-slot active row starts completely full with pink 29, pink 30, pink 37, pink 3, and a dark 9. The lower source grid shows a white 24, pink 50, orange 8, yellow 48, several more pink mid-size refills such as 43, 35, 24, 17, and 10, two early green stacks, and later white plus dark cleanup waves. Once the pink shell opens, the hidden portrait resolves into a yellow round face ring with green lower cheeks, a tiny orange center accent, white muzzle cells, and dark side-outline whisker arcs.
- Goal
- Pink clears the outer hood and the top heart frame. Green clears the lower cheeks, yellow wraps the round face ring, orange clears the center nose / beak accent, white clears the muzzle, and dark stacks finish the two side outlines plus the last facial details. The level ends only when both the pink hood and the full cat face portrait are complete.
- Opening
- Level 117 opens on the pink shell, not on the face. The tiny pink 3 and the other pink top-row stacks go first so the hood, top band, and heart frame start clearing immediately. The dark 9 is held even though it is small, because those dark accents only matter after the center face is already open.
- Danger Zone
- The main failure line is tapping the dark 9 or the later dark 5 while the pink shell still owns most of the board. Those small outline accents clog the only entrance and leave big pink hood patches unresolved. The second trap is firing white too early. White muzzle ants park in the center if the green cheeks and yellow face ring are not already active, and then the late dark side outlines cannot clear both whisker arcs cleanly.
- Mechanics
- Perimeter-first single-hole routing with a long monochrome pink opener, then a face-building pivot into green and yellow, followed by late white-and-dark precision cleanup. Compared with Colony Flow boards that expose the portrait from frame one, Level 117 hides the whole face behind a large pink shell and makes the player clear that shell before the inner routing becomes stable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I tap first in Colony Flow Level 117?
Start with the pink opener family, beginning with the tiny pink 3 and then the other pink top-row stacks. The outer hood has to clear before the hidden cat face can route cleanly.
Why do the dark mini-stacks fail early in Colony Flow Level 117?
Dark only clears small late facial accents and the side whisker arcs. If dark enters while pink still owns the perimeter or before white and yellow have opened the center, those tiny waves clog the only route and delay the real shell cleanup.
