How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 657 — Full Solution
- Activate cream 36, then the black 1 -> dark-green 20 linked group.
- Add dark green 25 and cyan 34 to fill the other opening pads, then wait while the seabed, seaweed, and water drain.
- Route yellow 28 and orange 15 after a pad reopens while preserving one position for a mystery release.
- Start white 14 -> cyan 35 when the bubbles and upper mystery patch open, then cycle cyan 30/35/32 separately.
- Use red 18 -> cyan 35 after the red ridge is exposed, followed by lime 41, green 20, and the remaining orange body groups.
- Clear the final water ceiling, cream seabed, red ridge, and green stems and wait until the 160 counter and all five pads disappear.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Cream, Yellow, Orange, Red, White, Green, Lime, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting a second linked pair during the full five-pad opener leaves no space for the next reveal.
- Sending red 18 before the hidden ridge opens parks both it and its linked cyan stack.
- Overlapping several cyan water groups blocks the smaller yellow and orange seahorse colors.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 657 (quick clues)
- Count the black-green link as two pads.
- Wait for an opener pad to drain.
- Use white-cyan after the upper mystery opens.
- Delay red-cyan until the ridge is exposed.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Yellow-orange seahorse with a red ridge, white bubbles, cyan water, cream seabed, and light/dark-green seaweed. Gray mystery patches cover its head and lower-left junction, a brown counter reads 160, and the reserve includes black 1 -> dark green 20, white 14 -> cyan 35, and red 18 -> cyan 35 links.
- Goal
- Lower the 160 counter, open both mystery patches, and drain the seahorse, plants, bubbles, water, and seabed.
- Opening
- Use cream 36, black 1 -> dark green 20, dark green 25, and cyan 34 across the five opening pads.
- Danger Zone
- The linked black-green pair makes the opener a full five-pad set, so another link cannot enter until one active color drains.
- Mechanics
- A single 160 counter and two mystery patches sequence three linked color pairs around the seahorse and seaweed.
