Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 513 Walkthrough
Level 513's jellyfish uses only three colors — cyan water, black tentacles, pink dome — but each has stacks up to 35 cubes spread across four rows, so the real challenge is sustained single-color patience through one brown hole rather than color count.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 513 — Full Solution
- Tap cyan stack — cyan ants dispatch and clear the water base and grid background surrounding the jellyfish. Allow full depletion of front-row cyan stacks.
- Tap black stack — black ants clear the tentacle outlines dangling below the dome. Sustained tapping needed across rows 1–3. Wait for visible tentacle clearance.
- Tap pink stack — pink ants clear the dome head and tentacle accent pixels. Final large color dispatched. Allow dome to fully clear.
- Tap any remaining small stacks — if tiny leftover stacks remain (e.g., small pink 2-cube stack in row 1), tap them last to finish the board.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Black, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping black stacks before cyan clears the water base floods the single brown hole with black ants, creating a traffic jam that stalls the board.
- Tapping the small pink stack (2 cubes) in row 1 early fills a buffer slot instantly, blocking the next color batch.
- Tapping pink dome stacks while black tentacle ants are still mid-route queues pink ants behind black at the hole, locking both colors until the tentacle region finishes clearing.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 513 (spoiler-free)
- Tap cyan first to clear the water base — the background must open before black and pink ants can route efficiently.
- Allow full cyan depletion before tapping black — mixing colors at the single brown hole creates a traffic jam.
- Reserve the small pink stack (2 cubes) for last — its tiny size fills a buffer slot instantly if tapped early.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Jellyfish pixel art: pink dome head with eyes and mouth, black tentacle outlines with pink accents, cyan water base, light cyan grid background, small crown detail top-left. One brown ant hole center-bottom. Five white buffer slots above stack grid. Initial visible stacks: Row 1 (active) cyan (2), cyan (3), black (23), pink (23), empty; Row 2 cyan (35), black (30), pink (30), pink (25); Row 3 black (30), pink (30), pink (26), cyan (30); Row 4 (partially hidden) pink (30), black (~30), pink (~25), cyan (~30).
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching-color holes through the single brown ant hole to erase the jellyfish pixel art. Three colors must be cleared: cyan (water base and grid background), black (tentacle outlines and dome edges), pink (dome head and tentacle accents).
- Opening
- Tap cyan stacks first — cyan ants clear the water base and grid background surrounding the jellyfish. Then tap black stacks — black ants clear the tentacle outlines. Then tap pink stacks — pink ants clear the dome head and tentacle accents. Work from the outermost layer inward.
- Danger Zone
- Black stacks are numerous (up to 30 cubes across rows 1–3) and must not be tapped before cyan clears the water base — black ants flooding the single brown hole before cyan finishes causes a traffic jam. The small pink stack (2 cubes) in row 1 depletes instantly and fills a buffer slot if tapped early. Around frames 4–6 all three ant colors route simultaneously through the single hole, creating peak congestion.
- Mechanics
- Three-color routing puzzle with a single brown ant hole bottleneck. Large uniform color regions (cyan water, black tentacles, pink dome) make this a straightforward batch-dispatch puzzle. Main challenge is patience — all three colors have stacks up to 35 cubes requiring sustained single-color dispatches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why tap cyan first?
Cyan covers the water base and grid background — the largest uniform region. Clearing it first opens the routing lanes for black and pink ants to reach the jellyfish body.
What makes the small cyan (2) and cyan (3) stacks in Row 1 tricky?
They deplete almost instantly, opening buffer slots that the next color can fill prematurely. Tap them together at the start so both finish before black 23 and pink 23 rise into the active row.
Why does the jellyfish only need three colors when later levels use seven or eight?
The jellyfish palette is intentionally simple — cyan water, black outlines, pink dome — but each color has large stacks (up to 35 cubes) spread across four rows, shifting the difficulty from color management to sustained single-color patience.
