How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 285 — Full Solution
- Tap orange 25, the exposed yellow/orange 25, purple 23, dark purple 116, and brown/red 36 in that order.
- Wait for the first long wave to return a bay, then continue the exposed orange/yellow and cyan releases, including yellow/orange 20/50 and light cyan 45/20.
- When a second bay returns, route brown 45/35 and pink 78, keeping one empty slot while the pink stream remains active through the middle of the board.
- Use yellow/orange 20/50/25/30/41 to strip the main body, then feed purple 25/45 for the curved outer outline after the body wave has visibly thinned.
- In the late middle, clear brown 35/45/36, cyan 40/11, and white 48; the board should reduce to the pale upper section, orange ribs, and scattered outline pixels.
- Finish the short pink and purple 40 routes, light-cyan 20, and white/cyan single-digit tails. Wait through the blank board until the recorded victory screen appears.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Yellow, Brown, Red, Dark purple, Purple, Light cyan, Pink, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling all five buffers again while dark purple 116 or pink 78 is still moving can stall the next pale-cyan and white route.
- Assuming the partly hidden lower stacks are safe to tap before the orange and purple body wave returns a bay can block the final cleanup.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 285 (spoiler-free)
- Use the exact opener: orange 25 -> yellow/orange 25 -> purple 23 -> dark purple 116 -> brown/red 36.
- Wait for one returned bay at each board transition before starting the next long color family.
- Save a slot for white 48, cyan 40/11/20, and the short late pink and purple tails.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The target is an orange/yellow pixel-art figure with a pale cyan/white upper section, pink highlights, a dark-purple curved outline, and brown/red accents. Five white buffers sit above two dark oval holes. The visible rows begin orange 25, yellow 50, brown/red 36, dark purple 116; then yellow/orange 25, light cyan 45, pink 78, light cyan 20; then purple 23, brown 35, purple 25, brown 45.
- Goal
- Clear the orange/yellow body and dark-purple edge, then the pink, brown, and pale-cyan/white remnants. Wait through the final blank-board frames until the video reaches the Colony Flow victory screen.
- Opening
- Tap orange 25, exposed yellow/orange 25, purple 23, dark purple 116, and brown/red 36 in that order. Let the long dark-purple stream drain before filling another bay.
- Danger Zone
- The opening five-card wave looks nearly static while dark purple 116 and brown/red 36 drain. Pink 78 and later purple routes are long; reserve a buffer for pale-cyan and white cleanup.
- Mechanics
- This is a staged drain: orange/yellow and dark purple first, cyan/pink/brown through the middle, yellow/purple cleanup next, and pale-cyan/white tails last.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Level 285 opening order?
Tap orange 25, exposed yellow/orange 25, purple 23, dark purple 116, then brown/red 36. Wait while the five streams circulate.
What should remain for the end?
Keep a bay for white 48, cyan 40/11/20, and the short pink and purple tails. The board is not complete until those pale upper and outline pixels disappear.
