Colony Flow! Level 550 Walkthrough
The fantasy creature in Level 550 introduces a dual-hole layout (left 87, right 70) that splits routing capacity across seven colors — yellow/gold body, red/orange fire accents, cyan/blue water, purple shadows, dark blue depth, pink details, blue background — but the yellow body still demands sustained dispatch across frames 1–4 before any other color touches the holes.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 550 — Full Solution
- Tap the yellow/gold stacks (30, 45, 30) in the active row — yellow ants dispatch and clear the creature body, the largest visual region. Sustained yellow tapping across frames 1–4 as new yellow stacks rise into the active row. Allow full Row 1 yellow depletion before switching.
- Tap the red/orange stacks (40) — red ants clear the fire accents and warm-toned detail elements. Red is dispatched after the initial yellow wave to avoid hole congestion. Wait for visible red dots to clear from the perimeter.
- Tap the cyan and blue stacks (25, 20, 40, 20) — blue/cyan ants clear the water and sky elements surrounding the creature. Blue is a mid-sized color group dispatched after red finishes. By frame 5, blue ants dominate the board.
- Tap the dark blue stacks (35, 45) — dark blue ants clear the depth accents and shadow elements. Dark blue is dispatched after cyan/blue to avoid congestion at the two holes. Allow the shadow silhouette to fully clear before moving on.
- Tap the purple stacks — purple ants clear the shadows and outlines. Purple is dispatched after dark blue and is a smaller color group.
- Tap the pink and remaining accent stacks — pink ants clear the final detail highlights. This is the smallest color group and completes the board.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Red, Cyan, Blue, Dark blue, Purple, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending red 40 and dark blue 35 into the holes while the yellow 30/45/30 wave is still clearing splits ant traffic across both holes and delays the yellow body from opening routing lanes for the remaining five colors.
- Tapping hidden stacks in Rows 3–4 (blue 20, cyan 25) before front rows deplete floods the holes with premature ant dispatch.
- Switching to blue or red before yellow 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 550 (spoiler-free)
- Tap yellow/gold stacks first — the creature body is the largest region and must clear before routing the six remaining colors through the two holes.
- Dispatch one color at a time and wait for the board to settle between switches — even with two holes, seven colors cause congestion when mixed.
- Save pink for last — the detail highlights are the smallest color group and clear quickly once the main body and background are gone.
- Do not tap hidden stacks in Rows 3–4 (blue 20, cyan 25) before front rows deplete — their ants flood the two holes prematurely.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Fantasy creature pixel art: yellow/gold body with red/orange fire accents, cyan/blue water or sky elements, purple shadows and outlines, dark blue depth accents, pink detail highlights, blue mid-tone background. Two ant holes at bottom: left hole labeled87, right hole labeled70. Five white buffer slots above stack grid. Initial visible stacks: Row 1 (front/active) yellow 30, dark blue 35, yellow 30, blue 40, blue 20; Row 2 red 40, yellow 45, hidden stacks, yellow 30, dark blue 45; Row 3 blue 20, cyan 25, hidden stacks; Row 4 more hidden stacks.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into matching-color holes through the two ant holes to erase the fantasy creature pixel art. Seven colors must be cleared: yellow/gold (creature body — dominant), red/orange (fire accents), cyan/blue (water/sky elements), purple (shadows and outlines), dark blue (depth accents), pink (detail highlights), and blue (mid-tone background). The yellow/gold body covers roughly 35–40% of the pixel art.
- Opening
- Tap the yellow/gold stacks (30, 45, 30) first — yellow ants dispatch and begin clearing the creature body, the largest single-color region. Frames 1–4 show sustained yellow dispatch as new yellow stacks rise into the active row. The left hole drops from87 to61 by frame 2, indicating heavy initial yellow routing. Allow full Row 1 yellow depletion before switching.
- Danger Zone
- The two ant holes provide dual routing but can still become congested if multiple colors dispatch simultaneously. Hidden stacks in Rows 3–4 (blue 20, cyan 25) must not be tapped until front rows clear — their ants flood the holes prematurely. Around frames 5–6, purple ants flood the board from the right side, creating peak congestion near the right hole (70).
- Mechanics
- Seven-color routing puzzle with dual holes — the two-hole layout provides more routing capacity than single-hole levels but still requires careful color sequencing. The fantasy creature pixel art has a dominant yellow/gold body that must clear first, followed by red/orange accents, cyan/blue water elements, purple shadows, and pink details. Board reveals new stacks progressively as front rows deplete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there two holes in this level?
Level 550 features two ant holes (left87, right70) providing dual routing capacity. This is more forgiving than single-hole levels but still requires careful color sequencing to avoid congestion.
Why tap yellow first?
Yellow/gold covers the creature 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.
What happens when purple floods the right hole around frames 5–6?
Purple ants swarm from the right side of the pixel art and converge on the right hole (70). If red or blue ants are still routing through that hole, the resulting pileup stalls both color batches — clear red and blue through the left hole first to keep the right hole open for the purple wave.
When should I tap the purple and pink stacks?
Save purple and pink for after the yellow, red, cyan, and dark blue batches clear. Purple covers shadows and pink covers details — both are smaller regions that clear efficiently once the dominant colors are depleted.
