How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 488 — Full Solution
- Tap the dark purple(21) stack from the top-right position to send dark ants through the hole for bunny outline.
- Click the black(30) stack from the second row left to continue clearing the bunny outline and eye sections.
- Tap the white(30) stack from the third row left to begin clearing the bunny body and face.
- Click the white(30) stack from the third row center to continue clearing the white body while monitoring buffer capacity.
- Tap the white(30) stack from the bottom row left to clear more body sections before switching to pink.
- Click the pink(24) stack from the third row right to begin clearing inner ears and cheek blushes.
- Tap the pink(2) stack from the second row right to clear small pink details from the face.
- Click the orange(19) stack from the second row center to route carrot cubes to the correct position.
- Tap the green(5) stack from the second row far right to clear carrot leaf pixels.
- Click remaining white and pink stacks to clear final body and ear pixels.
Colors in this level:
Black, White, Pink, Orange, Green, Dark purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Clicking pink stacks before black outline sections are completed blocks the dark cube routing path and stalls progress.
- Filling buffer slots prematurely with mixed colors leaves no room for intermediate routing steps.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 488 (spoiler-free)
- Clear black outline sections before clicking more than 2 pink stacks to prevent path blocking.
- Monitor buffer slots constantly; if 4 of 5 slots fill with mixed colors, pause pink clicks until black or white clears a path.
- The '157' counter indicates high cube count—prioritize large stacks early to reduce total routing time.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A bunny-holding-carrot pixel-art target with '157' displayed in the center, requiring white for the body and face, pink for inner ears and cheek blushes, black for eyes and outline, orange for the carrot, and green for carrot leaves. Below the art: single brown hole, 5 white buffer slots, then 12 visible colored stacks in four rows: top row pink(7), dark purple(21), empty, empty, empty; second row black(30), orange(19), pink(2), green(5); third row white(30), white(30), pink(24), green(6); bottom row white(30), white(30), pink(partially hidden), black(30).
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes through the hole to clear the bunny pixel-art holding a carrot. The bunny's outline, body, ears, cheeks, carrot, and leaves must be cleared in the correct color sequence.
- Opening
- Tap the dark purple(21) stack from the top-right position first to begin routing dark cubes for the bunny outline, then click black(30) from second row left to continue clearing the outline sections.
- Danger Zone
- Clicking pink stacks before black outline sections are completed causes pink cubes to block the dark cube routing path. The 5 buffer slots fill quickly during mid-game, and premature pink clicks can cause a traffic jam that stalls progress for 10+ seconds.
- Mechanics
- Multi-color routing challenge with a single-hole bottleneck. Bunny pixel-art requires precise color sequencing: black outline first, then white body, pink details, and finally orange carrot with green leaves. Buffer management is critical due to high white and pink cube volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why start with dark purple and black stacks instead of white?
Dark purple and black outline sections must be completed first; white and pink are the most numerous colors and will block other routes if released too early.
What happens if I click all pink stacks at once?
Pink cubes flood the buffer slots and block the routing path for black and white, causing a traffic jam that stalls the solve for 10+ seconds.
How do I know when to switch from black to white?
Complete all black outline sections first (approximately 60 black cubes), then begin white routing while monitoring buffer capacity.
