Is the 36 gate the final blocker?

No. It is the early lock; the visible 115/97, 66/80, 27/12, 5 and 2 markers continue to govern the portrait as it separates.

Why is the green ground saved for late?

Its long strip consumes many holes while the roof, companion and short blue/cyan fragments still need returning routes.

Colony Flow! level guide

hard 8 colors

Start the blue-clad figure with cyan 28 and short green traffic, then pace its 36 gate, white companion, dark roof and long green ground.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Tap cyan 28 first, then route green 6/2 and wait for those short convoys to return.
Open dark purple 43 only after a hole is free; keep dark 49, 54 and 55 in reserve during the first gate phase.
Add white 45 and the yellow 10 pair linked to peach 29, using their returns to open the face and companion.
Route red-brown 46 and red-brown 40 separately, then use green 8 while the markers drop from 115/97 to 66/95.
At the 66/80 stage, clear cyan head highlights, the yellow waist accent and brown torso edges before another long dark card.
When the markers reach 27/12, send green 3, yellow 2/8 and peach 6/7/3 through returning holes.
Clear the separated white companion and blue suit with white 35/45 and blue 46/45 cards; leave one slot for dark 5/2 fragments.
Work the roof and ground only after the face marker reaches 5; use dark 9/12 and cyan 15/24/25/42/36 as they surface.
Finish the long green strip with returning green 3/24 and dark-purple 39/55 fragments, then clear the final companion pixels.
Wait for the dark roof, blue/cyan scraps and green ground to disappear; the verified video reaches the clear screen at about 268 seconds.

Colors in this level:

Cyan, Dark purple, Green, White, Yellow, Peach, Red-brown, Blue

Opening long dark and green cards before the short cyan/green routes return stalls the portrait markers and hides the yellow/white exits.
Stopping when the person and companion are recognizable leaves the roof, dark fragments and long green ground strip uncleared.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A blue-clad person with brown hair stands beside a white companion under a dark-purple roof. Pale-cyan highlights, a yellow waist accent and a broad green ground strip complete the picture. The opening brown-green gate reads 36 and the figure shows 115 and 97 markers. Visible holes include cyan 28, dark purple 43, green 6, green 26, dark 49, white 45, yellow 10/10 linked to peach 29, green 8, red-brown 46/40 and dark 54/55.
Goal: Release the early gate, then clear the face, companion, blue suit, cyan highlights, purple roof and green ground until the board reaches the Colony Flow clear screen.
Opening: Tap cyan 28 first, then the green 6 lane as it becomes 2. Wait for both returns before dark purple 43/49; add white 45, yellow 10/10 and peach 29 only after the 115 marker starts falling.
Danger Zone: Starting dark 43/49, dark 54/55 and the long green ground route together fills the five holes and strands the short yellow, peach, white and cyan cards needed to move the 115/97 and 66/80 stages.
Mechanics: The early gate reads 36, while the portrait markers descend through 115/97, 66/95, 66/80, 27/12, 5 and 2. The board then separates into roof, companion, blue body and green ground targets; the green strip is a late bottleneck.

Is the 36 gate the final blocker?
No. It is the early lock; the visible 115/97, 66/80, 27/12, 5 and 2 markers continue to govern the portrait as it separates.
Why is the green ground saved for late?
Its long strip consumes many holes while the roof, companion and short blue/cyan fragments still need returning routes.
