Colony Flow! Level 462 Walkthrough
Clear dual 80-count pink crates by routing high-count colored stacks (25-36 cubes each) through a 5-slot buffer, managing black ants perimeter traffic as pink, yellow, black, green, and purple cubes travel to their matching holes to erase a pig-on-star pixel art.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 462 — Full Solution
- Tap pink 25 (first buffer slot) — pink cubes route to left crate
- Tap black 35 (bottom row, fourth) — black ants begin perimeter routing
- Tap green 35 (bottom row, first) — green cubes route to right side
- Tap yellow 36 (second buffer slot) — yellow cubes clear star section
- Wait for buffer slots to clear as ants complete routes
- Tap green 32 (bottom row, second) — more green clears body sections
- Tap pink 25 (bottom row, third) — additional pink routes to crates
- Tap black 35 (buffer row, third) — more black joins perimeter traffic
- Tap green 30 (bottom row, fifth) — continue green routing
- Cycle remaining stacks matching colors to open buffer slots
- Wait for crates to reach zero, clearing the pixel art
- Route remaining yellow, green, and black cubes to complete board clear
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping pink stacks before buffer has space for 80-count crate routing
- Filling all buffer slots with one color before routing others
- Spreading green stacks too early wastes buffer space needed for pink
- Tapping multiple black stacks simultaneously causes perimeter traffic jams
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 462 (spoiler-free)
- Prioritize pink routing early to reduce 80-count crates before buffer space becomes critical
- Monitor buffer slot availability — 5 slots fill fast with 25-36 cube stacks
- Keep at least one slot open before each tap to avoid stalling
- Black ants perimeter traffic requires timing — wait between black stack taps
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Pink pig/hamster on yellow star pixel art with split blue/green background. Two wooden crates (80 pink each) below pixel art. Two brown holes below crates. 5-slot buffer: pink 25, yellow 36, black 25, 2 white empty slots. Bottom stacks: green 35, green 32, pink 25, black 35, green 30, green 28, green 30, pink 25, purple 30 in grid. Black ants perimeter traffic.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes from bottom stacks through buffer slots to matching holes, clearing both 80-count pink crates so the entire pig-on-star pixel art is erased and the board is fully empty.
- Opening
- Tap pink 25 (first buffer slot) to start routing pink cubes to the left crate. Then tap black 35 (bottom row, fourth) to begin perimeter routing. Then tap green 35 (bottom row, first) to clear right side.
- Danger Zone
- Two 80-count pink crates require extensive routing — do not tap pink stacks before buffer has space. Black ants congest perimeter route. Filling all 5 buffer slots with one color stalls the board. Green stacks are numerous (35, 32, 30, 28, 30) — spreading too early wastes buffer space.
- Mechanics
- Multi-stack color routing with dual 80-count pink crates requiring coordinated routing. 5-slot buffer provides moderate staging but high cube counts (25-36) and 5 colors demand careful sequencing. Black ants perimeter traffic adds timing pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why start with pink 25 instead of the larger yellow 36?
The two 80-count pink crates require the most routing. Starting pink early reduces the crate count before buffer space fills.
How do I avoid buffer slot overflow?
Always leave at least one slot open before tapping. Cycle through colors rather than dumping one color into all slots.
What clears last — the pixel art or the crates?
The pink crates (80 each) must reach zero first, then the remaining yellow star and green/blue background sections clear.
Why tap black 35 early?
Black ants travel around the perimeter, so starting them early prevents other colors from blocking their route later.
