Colony Flow! level guide
Colony Flow! Level 546 Walkthrough
Level 546 features a cute cartoon shark — cyan body with navy outline on pink background. Two locked stacks add complexity: a cyan lock in Row 2 position 4 is visible from the start, and a gold lock in Row 3 position 1 reveals after the pink 45 above it depletes. By frame 2, Row 1 shifts from navy 39/pink 9/cyan 35 to navy 11/pink 20/cyan 30 through progressive reveals.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 546 — Full Solution
- Tap pink 1 in Row 1 position 4 and pink 9 in position 2 — both are tiny stacks that dispatch instantly, opening routing lanes.
- Tap navy 39 in Row 1 position 1 — navy ants begin clearing the shark outline, the largest front-row element.
- Tap pink 34 in Row 1 position 5 — pink ants clear background pixels while navy dispatches. By frame 2, Row 1 shifts to navy 11, pink 20, cyan 30, cyan 29, white (empty) through progressive reveals.
- Tap cyan 35 in Row 1 position 3 after navy substantially depletes — cyan ants clear the shark body.
- Tap cyan 35 in Row 2 position 1 and white 30 in position 2 — extend the cyan body clearing and add white eye/belly details.
- Tap navy 30 in Row 2 position 3 — additional navy dispatch finishes the outline around the shark.
- Tap pink 45 in Row 3 position 1 — this large pink stack clears the background and reveals the gold lock hidden behind it.
- Once unlocked, tap the locked stacks (cyan lock in Row 2 position 4, gold lock in Row 3 position 1) — these release additional cubes needed to finish the pixel art.
- Tap navy 30 in Row 3 position 2, then pink 30 in position 4 — these clear the remaining shark outline and background.
- Tap the mystery (?) stack in Row 3 position 3 last — after all standard colors are routed and buffers empty.
Colors in this level:
Navy, Cyan, Pink, White, Mystery
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping navy 39 and cyan 35 simultaneously floods the single hole with two large color batches, stalling both routes.
- Ignoring the pink 45 in Row 3 delays unlocking the gold lock — the hidden locked stack contains cubes needed for board completion.
- Tapping the mystery stack before surrounding stacks clear wastes buffer capacity on an unknown color.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 546 (spoiler-free)
- Deplete the tiny pink stacks (1, 9) first — they dispatch instantly and open two routing lanes in Row 1.
- Route navy 39 and cyan 35 in separate batches — the single hole cannot handle both simultaneously.
- The gold lock in Row 3 position 1 only appears after pink 45 depletes — plan your routing to unlock it before the board runs out of available stacks.
- Hold the mystery stack until the board is nearly clear.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Cute cartoon shark pixel art: cyan body, navy blue outline, white eyes and belly, cheerful expression, on pink grid background. Single brown ant hole center-bottom. Row 1: navy 39, pink 9, cyan 35, pink 1, pink 34. Row 2: cyan 35, white 30, navy 30, locked stack (cyan lock icon). Row 3: pink 45, navy 30, mystery (?), pink 30. Additional locked stack (gold lock) hidden behind pink 45 in Row 3 position 1 — reveals after pink 45 depletes.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching perimeter holes through the single brown ant hole to fully erase the cute cartoon shark pixel art, leaving a plain white board.
- Opening
- Tap the small pink stacks first — pink 1 in Row 1 position 4 dispatches instantly, then pink 9 in position 2. Next tap navy 39 in position 1 to begin clearing the shark outline. By frame 2, Row 1 shifts to navy 11, pink 20, cyan 30, cyan 29, white (empty) as progressive reveals replace depleted stacks.
- Danger Zone
- Two locked stacks constrain routing: the cyan lock in Row 2 position 4 blocks access until its unlock condition is met, and a hidden gold lock in Row 3 position 1 appears only after the pink 45 above it depletes. The mystery stack (?) in Row 3 position 3 must not be tapped early. Navy 39 and cyan 35 in Row 1 are the two largest front-row stacks — dispatching both simultaneously floods the hole.
- Mechanics
- Single-hole routing with locked stacks and progressive reveals. Two lock types: a cyan lock visible from the start (Row 2 position 4) and a gold lock hidden behind pink 45 (Row 3 position 1). Five colors (navy, cyan, pink, white, mystery) across twelve visible stacks. The locked stacks must wait for their unlock conditions before they can be tapped.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the locked stacks?
Two locked stacks: a cyan lock in Row 2 position 4 (visible from the start) and a gold lock in Row 3 position 1 (hidden behind pink 45, revealed after it depletes). Both must be unlocked before their cubes can be routed.
Why start with small pink stacks?
Pink 1 and pink 9 dispatch instantly and open routing lanes in Row 1. Clearing them before the larger navy and cyan stacks prevents buffer congestion at the single hole.
When does the gold lock appear?
The gold lock is hidden behind the pink 45 stack in Row 3 position 1. It only appears after the pink 45 fully depletes, so routing pink early is essential to unlock it.
