Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 506 Walkthrough
Level 506's sailboat-at-sunset enforces a strict bottom-up clearance — blue water, brown sky gradient, yellow sky, white clouds, dark purple silhouette — with only two white buffer slots bridging the critical yellow-to-purple phase transition.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 506 — Full Solution
- Tap Blue 27 in Row 1, position 1 — blue ants dispatch through the ant hole to perimeter blue holes, erasing the blue water pixels at the bottom of the sailboat art.
- Tap Brown 28 in Row 1, position 2 — brown ants clear the brown/orange sky gradient pixels along the left edge of the art, opening the left board area.
- Tap Dark Purple 33 in Row 1, position 3 — purple ants begin clearing the dark purple sailboat silhouette from the center, exposing the sky region behind it.
- Tap Yellow 40 in Row 2, position 1 — yellow ants sweep across the upper half of the art, erasing the main yellow sky pixels.
- Tap Yellow 28 in Row 2, position 2 — continue dispatching yellow ants to clear the remaining yellow sky region.
- Tap Yellow 25 in Row 2, position 3 — finish the yellow sky phase; ensure all yellow pixels are cleared before transitioning to white.
- Tap White 30 in Row 3, position 2 — white ants clear the scattered white cloud patches in the sky.
- Tap White 30 in Row 3, position 3 — finish the white cloud phase; the two buffer slots in Row 1 should now be free for the final dark purple batch.
- Tap Dark Purple 35 in Row 4, position 1 — dark purple ants clear the remaining sailboat silhouette pixels.
- Tap Dark Purple 32 in Row 4, position 2 — finish the dark purple phase; the sailboat should be fully erased.
- Tap Blue 36 in Row 4, position 3 — clear any remaining blue water pixels at the board edges.
- Tap remaining yellow and light blue stacks — clear final scattered pixels to complete the level.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Brown, Dark-purple, Yellow, White, Light-blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping Dark Purple 35 or 32 in Row 4 before the yellow sky and white cloud phases are complete floods the board with purple ants and causes perimeter traffic congestion.
- Filling the two white buffer slots in Row 1 with yellow before the dark purple transition stalls the board — no slots remain for the final color batch.
- Tapping cyan/light blue stacks before all blue water pixels are cleared causes redundant ant routes that congest the ant hole area.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 506 (spoiler-free)
- Clear all blue water pixels before tapping any brown or yellow stacks — the water sits at the bottom of the art and must go first.
- Keep the two white buffer slots in Row 1 empty until the yellow sky phase is complete — they are needed for the dark purple transition.
- Tap dark purple stacks last — the sailboat silhouette is the final element to erase and requires the most board space.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Sailboat-at-sunset pixel art: yellow sky with white clouds, dark purple sailboat silhouette, blue water. One brown ant hole below art. Row 1: Blue 27, Brown 28, Dark Purple 33, White (empty), White (empty). Row 2: Yellow 40, Yellow 28, Yellow 25. Row 3: Yellow 25, White 30, White 30. Row 4: Dark Purple 35, Dark Purple 32, Blue 36. Two white buffer slots in Row 1 positions 4–5.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching perimeter holes to erase the pixel art in order: blue water first, then brown sky gradient, then yellow sky, then white clouds, then dark purple sailboat, leaving a blank white board.
- Opening
- Tap Blue 27 (Row 1, pos 1) and Brown 28 (Row 1, pos 2) in quick succession to dispatch blue and brown ants, clearing the water and sky gradient regions simultaneously.
- Danger Zone
- The two white buffer slots in Row 1 must stay open for the yellow-to-dark-purple transition. Filling them prematurely with yellow or dark purple stalls the board. Dark Purple 35 and 32 in Row 4 are deep reserves — tapping them early floods the board with purple ants before sky/cloud regions clear.
- Mechanics
- Multi-stack routing with sequential pixel-art clearance. The sunset scene enforces a strict bottom-up order: blue → brown → yellow → white → dark purple. Each phase must complete before the next begins to avoid perimeter traffic congestion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must blue be tapped first?
Blue water pixels sit at the bottom of the pixel art. Clearing them first opens the lower board area and prevents blue ants from being blocked by upper-layer pixels during later phases.
What happens if the white buffer slots are filled early?
The two white empty slots in Row 1 are the only transition resource between the yellow sky phase and the dark purple sailboat phase. Filling them with any color before that transition stalls the board and forces a restart.
When should dark purple stacks be tapped?
Only after all blue, brown, yellow, and white pixels are cleared. The dark purple sailboat silhouette is the final element — it requires the most board space and the buffer slots to be free.
Is there a mystery stack in this level?
No mystery stack is visible in Level 506. All stack colors are known from the start, making this a straightforward sequential-clearance puzzle.
