Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 515 Walkthrough
Route five colors through one brown hole to erase the red fish on a branch — but the active row traps you with tiny cyan stacks (6 and 3 cubes) alongside large ones (25, 35), and six separate white stacks (up to 40 each) buried across rows 2–4 must be sequenced without flooding the hole.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 515 — Full Solution
- Tap cyan stacks — cyan ants dispatch and clear the large cyan background surrounding the fish. Allow full depletion of front-row cyan stacks before proceeding.
- Tap red stacks — red ants clear the fish body and fins. Sustained tapping needed across rows 1–2. Leave a beat after cyan to avoid hole congestion.
- Tap dark purple stacks — dark purple ants clear the outlines, eyes, and detail accents on the fish. Moderate region dispatched after body clears.
- Tap remaining cyan stacks — cyan ants clear the final background cells. These are revealed as front stacks deplete from hidden rows.
- Tap remaining red stacks — red ants clear the final body and fin detail cells. This is the final large color dispatched.
- Tap pink stacks — pink ants clear the belly and accent highlights. Reserve for late in the sequence to avoid buffer slot fill.
- Tap white stacks — white ants clear the eye whites and cloud highlights. This is the final color dispatched.
- Tap any remaining small stacks — if tiny leftover stacks remain, tap them last to finish the board.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Red, Dark purple, Pink, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping the tiny cyan (6, 3) stacks in the active row before larger stacks are depleted fills buffer slots instantly with cyan cubes that have nowhere to go, stalling the board.
- Tapping the small pink (11) stack in row 2 before red and dark purple clear the fish body fills a buffer slot, blocking the next color batch.
- Tapping white stacks across rows 2–4 (40, 40, 35, 40) in quick succession floods the brown hole with white ants while red and dark purple body ants are still mid-route, locking all three colors.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 515 (spoiler-free)
- Tap cyan first to clear the background — the large cyan area must open before red and dark purple ants can route efficiently.
- Allow full cyan depletion before tapping red — mixing colors at the single brown hole creates a traffic jam.
- Reserve the tiny cyan (6, 3) and pink (11) stacks for last — their small size fills buffer slots instantly if tapped early.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Red fish pixel art: red/coral body with large white eyes, pink belly accents, dark purple outlines and eye details, sitting on a brown log/branch, cyan/light blue background with white cloud accents, small crown-like detail top-right. One brown ant hole center-bottom. Five white buffer slots above stack grid. Initial visible stacks: Row 1 (active) dark/purple (25), white (35), empty, cyan (6), cyan (3); Row 2 pink (34), white (40), pink (11), red (38), white (40); Row 3 cyan (34), white (40), white (40), white (35), white (40); Row 4 (partially hidden) white (40), red (40), red (35).
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching-color holes through the single brown ant hole to erase the fish pixel art. Five colors must be cleared: cyan (background and water surrounding the fish), red (fish body and fins), dark purple (outlines, eyes, and detail accents), pink (belly and accent highlights), white (eye whites and cloud highlights).
- Opening
- Tap cyan stacks first — cyan ants dispatch and clear the large cyan background surrounding the fish, which is the biggest color region on the board. Then tap red stacks — red ants clear the fish body and fins. Then tap dark purple stacks — dark purple ants clear the outlines and eye details. Work from the outermost layer inward.
- Danger Zone
- The tiny cyan stacks (6, 3 cubes) in the active row are extremely small and must not be tapped before larger surrounding stacks are depleted — they fill buffer slots instantly with cyan cubes that have nowhere to go, stalling the board. The small pink stack (11 cubes) in row 2 has the same risk. Around frames 4–6 all five ant colors route simultaneously through the single brown hole, creating peak congestion. The multiple white stacks across rows 2–4 (40, 40, 35, 40) are separated and must be sequenced carefully.
- Mechanics
- Five-color routing puzzle with a single brown ant hole bottleneck. Large uniform color regions (cyan background, red fish body, dark purple outlines) make this a batch-dispatch puzzle. Main challenge is patience — cyan and white stacks are up to 40 cubes requiring sustained single-color dispatches, while the active row mixes tiny stacks (3, 6) with large ones (25, 35) requiring careful sequencing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why tap cyan first?
Cyan covers the background — the largest uniform region. Clearing it first opens the routing lanes for red and dark purple ants to reach the fish body.
Why are the tiny cyan (6) and cyan (3) stacks in Row 1 dangerous?
They sit next to the large dark purple (25) and white (35) stacks in the active row. Tapping them early depletes them instantly and fills two buffer slots with cyan cubes that have no matching hole open yet, blocking the dark purple and white waves from rising.
How should the six separate white stacks be handled?
White stacks (40, 40, 35, 40 in rows 2–4 plus more hidden) are the largest color group by volume. Tap them one at a time after cyan and red are mostly cleared, leaving gaps between batches so white ants don't flood the single brown hole.
