Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 472 Walkthrough
Clear the bird-on-crate pixel-art by pacing the dual light-blue stack load, interleaving pink and green clears between cool-color batches, and finishing the red soil without overflowing the buffer slots.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 472 — Full Solution
- Tap the purple 33 stack (Row 1 Col 1). Purple ants clear the purple wing pixels at the top of the bird. Wait for the buffer to drain to at least 3 empty slots.
- Tap the green 20 stack (Row 1 Col 2). Green ants clear the green plant pixels at the bottom of the pixel art. Let the buffer stabilize.
- Tap the white 35 stack (Row 1 Col 3). White ants clear the white grid squares and create buffer breathing room. Monitor the buffer—this is a medium batch.
- Tap the red 43 stack (Row 1 Col 4). Red ants clear the red soil pixels at the base. This creates buffer breathing room before the next light-blue tap.
- Tap the light-blue 35 stack (Row 2 Col 2). Light-blue ants begin clearing the large light-blue background on the left side. Monitor the buffer closely—this is a large batch.
- Tap the pink 34 stack (Row 2 Col 1). Pink ants clear the pink flower pixels in the center. Wait for the buffer to drain before tapping more stacks.
- Tap the light-blue 30 stack (Row 2 Col 3). More light-blue ants continue clearing the background. Wait for the buffer to drain before tapping more stacks.
- Tap the green 20 stack (Row 3 Col 1). Green ants clear the remaining green plant pixels.
- Tap the purple 35 stack (Row 3 Col 2). Purple ants clear the remaining purple wing pixels on the right side.
- Tap the red 45 stack (Row 3 Col 3). Red ants clear the remaining red soil pixels. The bird is fully revealed when the board is empty.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, White, Red, Light-blue, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping both light-blue stacks (35, 30) in sequence overflows the buffer slots and stalls all ants.
- Clearing the purple stacks before the green plant pixels leaves the wings blocking the crate reveal.
- Tapping the red 43 stack after the light-blue background is partially cleared wastes buffer space on a small color batch.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 472 (spoiler-free)
- Tap purple 33 first to clear the wing pixels and open buffer space.
- Never tap both light-blue stacks back-to-back—interleave pink, green, or red clears.
- The green 20 stacks clear the plant pixels early; clear them before the light-blue background covers the area.
- Save the Row 3 purple 35 stack for late when the buffer has room to absorb it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A pixel-art bird (light-blue body, purple wings, red eyes, pink beak) standing on a brown wooden crate with a purple sky background and green plants/red soil at the bottom, plus a pink flower in the center. Below the board is a single brown ant hole with 5 empty white buffer slots. The bottom field has 10 colored block stacks in 3 rows: Row 1 has purple 33, green 20, white 35, red 43; Row 2 has pink 34, light-blue 35, light-blue 30; Row 3 has green 20, purple 35, red 45.
- Goal
- Clear every colored cube from the board by routing ants through the matching-color holes. The pixel-art bird on a crate is fully revealed once all cubes are removed. No stacks are locked, but the dual light-blue load (65 total cubes) demands careful pacing.
- Opening
- Start with the purple 33 stack (Row 1 Col 1) to clear the purple wing pixels at the top of the bird. Then tap the green 20 stack (Row 1 Col 2) to begin clearing the green plant pixels at the bottom. Follow with the white 35 stack (Row 1 Col 3) to clear the white grid squares and create buffer breathing room.
- Danger Zone
- The two light-blue stacks (35, 30) total 65 cubes. Tapping them in rapid succession floods the buffer slots with light-blue ants and stalls the board. Always interleave a pink, green, or red clear between light-blue taps to let the buffer drain.
- Mechanics
- A medium-density multi-color board with no locked stacks but a dual light-blue load requiring paced tapping. The bird has purple wings that need the purple stack cleared early, and red eyes that need the red stack cleared at the right moment. The green plants at the bottom require the green stacks to be cleared in sequence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main danger on Level 472?
The two light-blue stacks total 65 cubes. Tapping them without interleaving other colors overflows the buffer slots and stalls the board.
How many green stacks are there?
Two green stacks (20, 20) are in Row 1 Col 2 and Row 3 Col 1. Clear them in stages between cool-color batches to keep the buffer flowing.
What order should I clear the colors?
Start with purple and green, then alternate between light-blue and pink/red. Save the Row 3 purple 35 for late when the buffer has room.
