Colony Flow Level 1177 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 1177

Welcome back to another puzzle guide for your favorite mobile game. Colony Flow Level 1177 presents a beautiful pixel art portrait of a woman wearing a colorful hood. You have to manage a very crowded tray and carefully sequence your moves to reveal the face underneath. It is incredibly rewarding to watch the final pieces vanish once you crack the logic of the puzzle. Read on to discover exactly how to clear this board without getting stuck.

Colony Flow Level 1177 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture at the top of your screen is a detailed portrait featuring a bright pink patterned background and scattered light blue stars. The woman in the portrait wears a layered hood made of purple, magenta, and dark pink tiles. Her face consists of peach skin, bright teal eyes, and red lips, while a yellow collar sits at the very bottom. Down in your tray, you have a wide assortment of numbered blocks corresponding to all these colors. These blocks carry numbers that indicate exactly how many tiles of that color they can clear. As an ant grabs a piece of food, the number drops by one. This level introduces Connected Boxes in your tray, which are blocks linked by a visible line that move into your waiting area together. You will also deal with a Hungry Door in the tray. The Hungry Door looks like a wooden log with a button and a number on it. This log sits directly over the blocks on the left side of your tray and blocks access to them until you clear the required colors on the board.

What It Takes to Clear Level 1177 Board

To win this level you must command your ants to consume every single tile that makes up the portrait. The ants pour out of their nest hole at the bottom and search for open paths to the tiles that match the colors in your waiting slots. You have exactly five waiting slots at the bottom of the screen. If you fill all five slots with colors that the ants cannot reach, the board will jam and you will lose the level. This is the ultimate trap of the game. Your main goal is to constantly keep at least one active path open for the ants. You achieve this by working from the outside edges of the picture inward and never pulling a block from the tray unless its matching color is visibly exposed on the board.

Colony Flow Level 1177 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Clear the outer pink background and the blue stars to open the edges

The puzzle begins with the portrait completely boxed in by a bright pink background pattern. Your ants cannot reach the face or the inner hood until you strip away this outer layer. Look at your tray and pull the bright pink blocks and the light blue blocks. You will see a massive stream of ants pouring out of the nest hole at the bottom. They split up and travel up the left and right sides of the screen, creating a busy perimeter of movement to eat the background tiles and the scattered light blue stars. Watch the numbers on your blocks decrease as the ants grab their food and carry it away. You must be exceptionally patient here and avoid touching the purple or peach blocks sitting in your tray. Pulling center colors right now will permanently clog your waiting slots because the ants have no physical way to reach the middle of the picture yet. Focus entirely on peeling away the outer boundary to give your colony room to maneuver.

Step 2: Begin dismantling the purple hood and manage your first connected boxes

With the edges of the board clear, the thick purple and dark pink layers of the hood are now exposed. At this point you will encounter the Connected Boxes in your tray. You will see a pink block linked directly to a red block. When you tap this set, both blocks slide into your waiting slots simultaneously. This instantly consumes two of your five available spaces. You must verify that the ants have an open route to both the pink tiles and the red tiles before you make this move. Send your colony into the hood by pulling the dark purple and magenta blocks. The ants will swarm the thickest parts of the hood and start breaking through to the inner layers. Keep a close eye on your available slots and make sure one color is always actively counting down. If the ants stop moving, you are in danger of dead ending the board.

Step 3: Work on the required colors to satisfy the hungry door counting down

You will notice the large Hungry Door mechanism sitting in the lower section of your tray. This door starts with the number fifty three and physically blocks several important blocks that you will need later. To open this door you must clear all the required colors from the board. Continue tearing down the hood while bringing your ants closer to the face. You can pull the teal blocks to clear the bright eyes and the dark pink blocks to clear the inner lining of the hood. Every time your ants consume these specific required colors, the number on the Hungry Door drops. Balancing this task is crucial. You want to prioritize the colors that feed the door, but you still cannot afford to fill your waiting area with inaccessible colors. The tension between opening the door and keeping your slots clear is the main challenge of this phase. Always prioritize a safe open path over rushing the door requirements.

Step 4: Clear the peach face tiles and light purple shadows to widen the paths

The inner section of the portrait is now completely vulnerable to your colony. The bulk of the face consists of peach colored tiles and light purple shadows. Pull the large peach blocks from your tray and watch the ants flood into the center of the board. Since the face takes up so much space, pulling these colors is very safe and guarantees that your waiting slots will keep moving. Follow up by pulling the light purple blocks to clean up the shaded areas around the nose, the cheeks, and the neck. The light purple tiles create a sense of depth and shadow on the character. Clearing these specific tiles opens up the cheek area and allows the ants to reach the upper forehead. The board looks much less cluttered now. Your ants have multiple distinct routes to travel, which drastically reduces the chances of dead ending the board. Just keep matching the active tray colors to the exposed sections of the skin and hair.

Step 5: Navigate the black outlines and pull the larger connected sets

The portrait relies on black tiles for the sharp outlines around the face and the deep shadows under the edges of the hood. Your tray holds a massive black block that is connected to a light blue block. Before you pull this large connected set, you must absolutely ensure that there are light blue tiles left on the board and that the ants can reach them. If you pull this set and the light blue color is trapped, you lose a waiting slot permanently. Once you confirm the path is clear, pull the set and let the ants devour the thick black outlines around the eyes and the chin. This action cleans up the remaining facial features and brings the Hungry Door count down to single digits. The picture is shrinking rapidly and your victory is very close.

Step 6: Open the hungry door completely and reveal the final hidden blocks

The ants finally consume the last required colors and the Hungry Door count hits zero. The door drops away and immediately grants you access to the final hidden blocks in your tray that you need to win. You will uncover orange blocks, yellow blocks, and a few remaining dark purple blocks. The yellow collar at the bottom of the portrait is now fully exposed and waiting to be cleared. Pull the orange and yellow blocks to send your ants straight into the collar section. Because the board is so open, your waiting slots are in no danger of jamming. Every remaining tile on the screen is a valid target. Pull the final dark purple blocks to clean up the last few stray pixels of the hood. When the final block empties, the remaining ants rush back to the nest and the screen clears. You have successfully navigated a very tricky sequence of connected blocks and hungry doors.

Final Thought

This puzzle challenges your patience and forces you to plan ahead with every single tap of a connected block. Take your time peeling back the outer background before you even think about touching the central face.
