Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 525 Walkthrough
Clear the tiger face pixel art — green body, cyan background, dark stripes, yellow eyes/nose, brown accents, white highlights — by routing seven colors through a single brown ant hole while managing multi-row stack reveals and limited buffer slots.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 525 — Full Solution
- Tap the connected yellow/orange stacks in Row 1 — yellow ants dispatch toward the brown hole, clearing yellow eye and nose pixels and opening perimeter routing lanes. Wait for significant yellow depletion.
- Tap orange stacks — orange ants clear accent details. Orange is small and finishes quickly. Allow a gap after yellow to avoid hole congestion.
- Tap cyan stacks in Row 1 (17, 28) — cyan ants clear the large background and water regions. Dispatch in batches as front rows deplete and hidden rows are revealed.
- Tap dark/purple stacks — dark ants clear the stripe and outline accents. Dark stacks appear across multiple rows; dispatch them in sequence as they become accessible. Allow a gap after cyan.
- Tap green stacks in batches — green ants clear the large face body. Green is the dominant color and stacks are spread across multiple rows. Dispatch in sequence as front rows deplete and hidden rows are revealed. Allow gaps between batches.
- Tap the brown (6) stack — brown ants clear the small accent pixels. Reserve until surrounding green is mostly cleared.
- Tap remaining mystery and hidden stacks — clear last hidden-color fragments. By this point the pixel art should be nearly fully erased.
- Final cleanup — dispatch any remaining small stacks to clear the last pixels and complete the level.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Orange, Cyan, Dark, Green, Brown, White, Mystery
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping mystery stacks before other colors are depleted floods a buffer slot with an unknown color, stalling the board.
- Tapping brown (6) before surrounding green is cleared fills a buffer with brown cubes that blocks the next green batch.
- Dispatching all green stacks simultaneously overwhelms the single brown hole, creating a traffic jam that stalls all ants.
- Filling the white empty buffer slot in Row 1 with the wrong color blocks the next ant route.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 525 (spoiler-free)
- Tap yellow first to open perimeter lanes — yellow eye/nose pixels are a small region that clears quickly and opens routes for all subsequent colors.
- Hold the brown (6) stack until surrounding green is mostly cleared — brown ants dispatched too early fill a buffer that blocks the next green batch.
- Dispatch green in batches — the face body is the largest region and flooding the single hole with green ants simultaneously causes a traffic jam.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Tiger face pixel art filling most of the board — green body/face regions, cyan/light blue background areas, dark/purple stripe and outline accents, yellow eye and nose details, brown small accents, white highlights. Single brown ant hole center-bottom. One white empty buffer slot in Row 1. Initial visible stacks: Row 1 (active) yellow (2) connected to orange, cyan (17), cyan (28), white (empty buffer); Row 2 yellow (26), yellow (30), cyan (30), brown (16); Row 3 cyan (30), cyan (30), dark (30), cyan (28); Row 4 (partially hidden) mystery (?), mystery (?), mystery (?), dark (28).
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching-color holes through the single brown ant hole to erase the tiger face pixel art. Seven colors must be cleared: green (face body — largest region), cyan/light blue (background and water areas), dark/purple (stripes and outline), yellow (eyes and nose), brown (small accents), white (highlights), orange (accent details). Board goes fully white when complete.
- Opening
- Tap the connected yellow/orange stacks in Row 1 — yellow ants dispatch toward the brown hole, clearing yellow eye and nose pixels and opening perimeter routing lanes for subsequent colors. Then tap orange stacks — orange ants clear accent details. Then tap cyan stacks (17, 28 in Row 1) — cyan ants begin clearing the large background regions.
- Danger Zone
- Mystery stacks in Rows 3–4 must not be tapped early — unknown colors flood buffer slots. The white empty buffer slot in Row 1 is a critical staging space; filling it with the wrong color blocks the next ant route. Around frames 4–6, dark and green ants crowd the single brown hole simultaneously, creating traffic congestion. The brown (6) stack is a reserved target that must not be dispatched until surrounding green is mostly cleared.
- Mechanics
- Multi-row stack reveal board with seven-color routing through a single central brown ant hole. Initial 3 visible rows expand to 4+ rows as front stacks deplete, revealing hidden green and dark stacks behind. Tiger face pixel art dominates the board and requires sustained color dispatches across multiple revealed rows. Yellow (eyes/nose) opens perimeter routes; brown (accents) is a reserved late-stage target.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must yellow be tapped first?
Yellow covers the eye and nose regions and opens perimeter routing lanes. Clearing yellow first creates space for all subsequent color dispatches.
Why is the brown (6) stack dangerous?
Brown is a small accent region surrounded by green. Tapping it early fills a buffer slot with brown cubes that have no route, blocking the next green batch and stalling the board.
Why not tap all green stacks at once?
Green is the largest color region and green stacks are spread across multiple rows. Dispatching all green simultaneously overwhelms the single brown hole, creating a traffic jam.
