How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 163 — Full Solution
- Tap white 13, white 17, dark-purple 34, and white 27, then wait for the white ants to reach the top and side edges of the LOVE sign.
- Continue the border transition through dark 29, dark 23, white 3, and white 23, letting the counters fall before adding red traffic.
- Use dark 16 and dark 18, then add red 1 and red 1 only after the perimeter lane is moving freely.
- Route red 22, pink 30, and red 6 as slots open; these remove the heart and the central letter joins while the white frame continues to drain.
- Continue through pink 1, white 28, red 5, red 22, pink 2, and pink 29, keeping a free slot for the remaining white route.
- Use white 6, pink 7, red 10, red 3, pink 1, pink 2, and red 20 to clear the lower heart, inner O/V joins, and right E strokes.
- Let dark 32 and pink 30 travel, then follow white 3, pink 1, red 18, and red 1. The board should be reduced to separated outline and letter pixels.
- Finish dark 1 and pink 1, wait for the two singletons to reach the brown hole, and confirm the empty frame/victory transition.
Colors in this level:
White, Black, Red, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting red 1 or red 6 while the white perimeter still occupies most of the five buffers, which clears the heart but strands border ants.
- Using all five slots for pink letter groups before white 28 or white 6 has completed its rectangular route.
- Stopping at a readable LOVE sign while dark 1, pink 1, or a white perimeter fragment is still visible.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 163 (spoiler-free)
- Start with white 13, white 17, dark 34, and white 27; let the perimeter complete a lap before feeding the heart.
- Keep one buffer open for the late white 6 or dark 32 route while pink and red ants cross the lower edge.
- Finish dark 1 and pink 1 after the sign looks complete; those singletons are visible before the victory transition.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board is a LOVE sign on a white square grid: pale-pink letters, dark-purple outlines, a red heart in the center, and a white/light-gray perimeter. Five white buffers begin empty above the brown ant hole. Opening stacks are white 13, white 17, dark-purple 34, and white 27, followed by dark 35, red 1/6, white 30, pink 30, white 30, red 1, white 35, and pink 29.
- Goal
- Clear the white outer frame and dark outline first, then send red into the heart and pink into the LOVE letters. The clear requires the last dark outline and pale-pink letter pixels to leave the frame, not merely a recognizable LOVE silhouette.
- Opening
- Tap white 13, white 17, dark-purple 34, and white 27. Wait for the white ants to wrap the top and side edges before opening red 1, red 6, or pink 30.
- Danger Zone
- The long white perimeter shares the brown hole with the heart and letter traffic. Feeding red/pink while four or five white/dark slots are still active creates a false finish and leaves border ants behind.
- Mechanics
- Two-phase text-sign routing: white/dark perimeter and outline traffic first, then red-heart and pink-letter cleanup with singleton remnants at the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct opener for Colony Flow Level 163?
Tap white 13, white 17, dark-purple 34, and white 27, then wait for the perimeter ants to wrap the frame before using red or pink.
Why does the red heart wait?
The white perimeter is a long shared route. If red 1/6 or pink 30 enters too early, the heart clears but the border still occupies the buffers and lower hole.
What are the final Level 163 actions?
After the late white/pink/red pass, the video shows dark 1 and pink 1 as the last tiny groups. Let both finish before counting the empty-frame victory.
