Colony Flow! Level 548 Walkthrough
Level 548's spotted deer pixel art demands sustained orange dispatch across frames 1–4 to clear the dominant body region before six remaining colors — dark brown antlers, green grass, blue background, yellow spots, brown ground, purple accents — can route through the single brown hole.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 548 — Full Solution
- Tap the orange 36 stack in the active row — orange ants dispatch and clear the deer body, the largest visual region. Sustained orange tapping across frames 1–4 as new orange stacks (12, 20, 24, 43) rise into the active row. Allow full Row 1 orange depletion before switching.
- Tap the light green stacks (14, 24, 12) — green ants clear the grass band at the base of the pixel art. Green is dispatched after the initial orange wave to avoid hole congestion. Wait for visible green dots to clear from the perimeter.
- Tap the dark blue and blue stacks (25, 40, 35, 35) — blue ants clear the background and sky elements surrounding the deer. Blue is a mid-sized color group dispatched after green finishes. By frame 5, blue ants dominate the board.
- Tap the brown stacks (30, 35, 43) — brown ants clear the antlers and ground accents. Brown is dispatched after blue to avoid congestion at the single hole. Allow the antler silhouette to fully clear before moving on.
- Tap the yellow stacks (35, 20, 35) — yellow ants clear the deer spots and warm-toned detail elements. Yellow is a smaller color group dispatched after brown.
- Tap the purple and remaining accent stacks — purple ants clear the final accent details. This is the smallest color group and completes the board.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Dark brown, Green, Blue, Yellow, Brown, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending green 14 and dark blue 25 into the hole while the orange 36 wave is still routing creates a three-color pileup around frames 4–6 that blocks the antler and spot stacks from rising.
- Tapping buried stacks in Rows 3–4 (brown 30, yellow 35, blue 35) before front rows deplete floods the hole with premature ant dispatch.
- Switching to blue or green before orange is fully depleted splits the bottleneck traffic and extends the solve time significantly.
- Filling white buffer slots with cubes from the wrong color blocks the next batch from being dispatched.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 548 (spoiler-free)
- Tap orange 36 first — the deer body is the largest region and must clear before routing the six remaining colors through the single brown hole.
- Dispatch one color at a time and wait for the board to settle between switches — seven colors sharing one hole creates extreme congestion risk.
- Save purple for last — the accent details are the smallest color group and clear quickly once the main body and background are gone.
- Do not tap buried stacks in Rows 3–4 (brown 30, yellow 35, blue 35) before front rows deplete — their ants flood the single brown hole prematurely.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Spotted deer/fawn pixel art: orange-brown body with white spots, dark brown antlers, green grass at the base, beige/cream background with tree elements. One brown ant hole center-bottom. Five white buffer slots above stack grid. Initial visible stacks: Row 1 (front/active) light green 14, orange 36, dark blue 25, empty, empty; Row 2 dark blue 40, green 13, purple/dark 25, dark/navy 25, orange 40; Row 3 brown 30, orange 35, yellow 35, blue 35; Row 4 blue 35, red/brown 35, orange 35, blue 35.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching-color holes through the single brown ant hole to erase the spotted deer pixel art. Seven colors must be cleared: orange (deer body — dominant), dark brown (antlers, outlines, shading), green (grass and vegetation), blue (background and sky elements), yellow (deer spots and warm details), brown (antlers and ground accents), and purple (accent details). The orange body covers roughly 35–40% of the pixel art.
- Opening
- Tap the orange 36 stack first — orange ants dispatch and begin clearing the deer body, the largest single-color region. Frames 1–4 show sustained orange dispatch as new orange stacks (12, 20, 24, 43) rise into the active row. Allow full depletion of Row 1 orange before switching to green or blue.
- Danger Zone
- The single brown ant hole is the primary bottleneck — seven colors must route through it, so dispatching multiple colors simultaneously causes peak congestion around frames 4–6. The dark blue 40 in Row 2 and brown 30 in Row 3 are buried beneath active stacks and must not be tapped until front rows clear. Tapping deep reserves before front rows deplete causes premature ant dispatch into a congested hole.
- Mechanics
- Seven-color routing puzzle — the highest color count in recent Colony Flow levels. The deer pixel art has a compact palette but the orange body dominates the early game, requiring sustained single-color dispatch across multiple tap cycles. The green grass forms a wide perimeter band, blue covers the background, brown clears the antlers, and purple accents are the smallest group. Board reveals new stacks progressively as front rows deplete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there seven colors in this level?
Level 548 features seven distinct colors — orange, dark brown, green, blue, yellow, brown, and purple — the highest color count in recent levels. Each color maps to a different part of the spotted deer pixel art.
Why tap orange first?
Orange covers the deer body — the largest region at roughly 35–40% of the pixel art. Clearing it first opens routing lanes for the six remaining colors to reach their target holes.
Why is the dark blue 40 in Row 2 dangerous?
Dark blue 40 is buried beneath the active front row. Tapping it before the orange 36 and green 14 above it deplete causes 40 dark blue ants to flood the single brown hole while orange ants are still routing, creating a pileup that stalls the board.
When should I tap the brown and yellow stacks?
Save brown and yellow for after the orange, green, and blue batches clear. Brown covers the antlers and yellow covers the spots — both are mid-sized regions that clear efficiently once the dominant colors are depleted.
