Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 492 Walkthrough
Clear the pink monkey pixel art—pink body, dark eyes, yellow cushion—by routing the yellow stack first, then purple and orange, while managing the single-hole bottleneck.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 492 — Full Solution
- Tap Yellow (18) in the first buffer slot to dispatch yellow ants along the perimeter, clearing the yellow cushion sections of the pixel art. Wait for full depletion.
- Once Yellow is cleared, tap Purple (45) in the second buffer slot to route purple cubes toward the monkey body sections.
- When Orange stacks (35, 42) in the second row become accessible, tap them to clear the orange/yellow base sections of the monkey.
- Tap Pink stacks (35, 22, 30) in the third row to fill the pink body sections of the monkey.
- Clear Red (34) to finish any remaining red details in the pixel art.
- Handle hidden-row stacks (Black 45, Pink 40, Yellow 40, Yellow 34) as they appear, confirming the pink monkey pixel art is fully revealed.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Purple, Orange, Pink, Red, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping Purple or Orange before Yellow (18) is depleted fills buffer slots with cubes that have nowhere to go, stalling the board.
- Accessing third-row stacks (Red 34, Pink 35) before second-row stacks are cleared causes congestion at the single hole.
- Tapping the hidden-row Black (45) early blocks the board perimeter route.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 492 (spoiler-free)
- Do not tap any color other than Yellow (18) until the small active stack is fully depleted.
- The single hole means only one color can be routed at a time—maintain strict turn-order discipline.
- Keep the 5 buffer slots open for incoming color batches from second and third row stacks.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Pink monkey/ape pixel art sitting on yellow cushion/cloud, light yellow grid background. Center shows brown block area with number 141. Active row: Yellow (18), Purple (45), 3 empty buffer slots. Second row: Black (45), Yellow (20), Orange (35), Orange (42). Third row: Red (34), Pink (35), Pink (22), Pink (30). Hidden row: Black (45), Pink (40), Yellow (40), Yellow (34). Single brown hole at bottom center, 5 white buffer slots.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into the single matching hole to clear the board and reveal the pink monkey pixel art. The board clears from the active row outward, with the monkey body sections being the last to fully empty.
- Opening
- Tap the Yellow stack (18) in the first buffer slot to dispatch yellow ants along the board perimeter, clearing the yellow cushion sections. The single hole enforces strict one-color-at-a-time routing.
- Danger Zone
- The Purple (45) stack in the second buffer slot is the primary congestion risk. Tapping any other color before Purple is depleted fills buffer slots and stalls the board. The single hole creates a bottleneck that blocks concurrent routing.
- Mechanics
- Single-hole routing board with medium-sized active row and pink monkey pixel art. Sequential depletion required—only one color route active at a time through the central hole.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must Yellow (18) be depleted first?
The small Yellow stack in the first buffer slot opens the routing lanes for all subsequent colors. The single hole can only route one color at a time—clearing Yellow first opens the board perimeter.
What happens if Purple (45) is tapped before Yellow is fully depleted?
Purple cubes fill the buffer slots while Yellow ants are still routing, creating a traffic jam at the single hole that stalls the entire board.
When should the second-row stacks be accessed?
Only after the active-row stacks (Yellow 18, Purple 45) are depleted. The second-row stacks (Black 45, Yellow 20, Orange 35, Orange 42) should be handled in sequence as the board opens.
