What are the two visible gates?

Two 150 counters sit around the cottage; they fall as the sky, house, and foliage routes are consumed.

How should the mystery stacks be handled?

Keep a genuine empty pad and reveal each question-mark stack only when its matching color can move.

The brown 45 to cyan 20 branch helps open the house and counter lanes after the first white and cyan wave.

A mystery can reveal a color already in motion; keep a pad free so the revealed group does not stall the linked brown-to-cyan branch.

Colony Flow! level guide

hard 9 colors

A cottage scene with twin 150 counters uses white and cyan sky waves, a brown 45 to cyan 20 link, and mystery stacks before the final house details.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Start with white 50 and cyan 50/30 routes to open the sky and house while leaving one of the five pads free.
Activate brown 45 to cyan 20 and the nearby white or cyan 20 group, then wait for the first 150 counter to fall.
Alternate green 20/45 with the remaining white and cyan waves to clear trees, grass, clouds, and roof as the second counter drops.
Reveal the two question-mark stacks only with a matching pad available, using their colors to finish trim and orange window or path details.
After the counters reach their late low values, resolve linked dark/pink 6 to 4, cyan 36/12, green 29, brown 33, and final cyan 50, then wait for an empty board.

Colors in this level:

Cyan, White, Red, Brown, Charcoal, Green, Lime green, Orange, Pink

Starting both mystery stacks while cyan and green are active can consume the only buffer.
Skipping the brown 45 to cyan 20 connection leaves a counter lane and house detail blocked.
Adding another long green wave before the first counter drops can trap the late dark/pink link.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: Cottage with cyan sky and white clouds, brown and red roof, charcoal-purple trim, green trees and grass, and orange window or path details. Two counters read 150. Reserves include charcoal 40, white 50, pink 20, cyan 50/30, brown 45 linked to cyan 20, green 20/45, white or cyan 20/45, and two question-mark stacks.
Goal: Reduce both 150 counters, then clear the roof, sky, house trim, orange details, trees, grass, linked branches, and mystery colors.
Opening: Use white 50 and cyan 50/30 first; bring in the brown 45 to cyan 20 connection after a pad returns, keeping one genuine buffer for a mystery reveal.
Danger Zone: Twin counters, two mystery stacks, and long cyan or green runs compete for five pads. A mystery can reveal a color already in motion, so the linked brown-to-cyan branch needs room.
Mechanics: Twin 150 counters combine with connected color branches and hidden question-mark stacks; the visible counter path falls through about 90 to 32 before the small late links decide the clear.
