How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 657 — Full Solution

  1. Activate cream 36, then the black 1 -> dark-green 20 linked group.
  2. Add dark green 25 and cyan 34 to fill the other opening pads, then wait while the seabed, seaweed, and water drain.
  3. Route yellow 28 and orange 15 after a pad reopens while preserving one position for a mystery release.
  4. Start white 14 -> cyan 35 when the bubbles and upper mystery patch open, then cycle cyan 30/35/32 separately.
  5. Use red 18 -> cyan 35 after the red ridge is exposed, followed by lime 41, green 20, and the remaining orange body groups.
  6. Clear the final water ceiling, cream seabed, red ridge, and green stems and wait until the 160 counter and all five pads disappear.

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.

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.
