Colony Flow Level 1290 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 1290

Colony Flow Level 1290 presents a beautiful pixel art rabbit surrounded by a dark purple starry sky. You must guide your ant colony to consume every single tile of this detailed picture. You need to clear a massive number of tiles using the tray blocks at the bottom of the screen. Managing your waiting slots carefully determines your success here because this board introduces a tricky tray mechanic.

Colony Flow Level 1290 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board displays a large rabbit picture filling the center of the screen. The rabbit features white facial details along with bright cyan and pink body sections. A few light purple accents highlight the rabbit design. A massive dark purple background surrounds the animal on all sides. You pull numbered color blocks from the tray below to feed the ants. This level features connected boxes in the tray. The tray holds two rows of blocks and a visible line connects the top block to the bottom block in each column. These connected boxes mean you never pull just one color. When you pull a block from the top row the game automatically pulls the block directly beneath it. These two connected boxes move into your five waiting slots together.

What It Takes to Clear Level 1290 Board

Clearing this board requires strict attention to your five waiting slots. Since every pull brings two connected boxes into the slots you can quickly run out of room. Two pairs will fill four of your five slots instantly. You need to keep paths open for every color you pull. The dark purple background tiles block access to the sides and top of the rabbit. You must chip away at the bottom edge of the rabbit first to open up multiple entry points. Once you create enough paths you must alternate between clearing the heavy dark purple background and the bright colors of the rabbit body. You win when the last top tiles vanish and the ants finish eating the entire board.

Colony Flow Level 1290 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Start by opening the bottom edge with cyan and magenta blocks.

You must target the very bottom of the pixel art design first. The lowest tiles sit directly above the ant nest hole and consist of cyan and magenta pieces. Look at your tray and find the connected vertical pairs that contain these colors. Pull a pair containing a cyan block and a pair containing a magenta block. Because these are connected boxes you will also bring their attached colors into the waiting slots. Cyan and magenta ants will stream out of the nest hole and march toward the bottom tiles. The numbers on your cyan and magenta blocks will count down as the ants consume the matching food tiles immediately upon exiting the nest. Ensure you leave at least one slot empty. Do not pull a third pair yet. Wait for the bottom edge to clear to create fresh paths into the white and light purple sections of the rabbit.

Step 2: Feed the white ants to expose the lower belly of the rabbit.

With the bottom edge gone the ants can reach the white tiles near the rabbit feet. Pull a vertical pair from the tray that includes a white numbered block. The connected box mechanic means another color comes along for the ride. Make sure the attached color also has an open path on the board. The white ants will run up the newly opened paths and begin clearing the lower sections of the rabbit. You will watch the white block number drop rapidly because the food tiles sit very close to the nest hole. As the white tiles disappear the lower belly of the rabbit becomes exposed. This reveals more cyan and pink tiles deeper inside the design. Keeping the flow steady here prevents your waiting slots from jamming. You always want at least one block actively counting down to zero.

Step 3: Unleash a massive swarm of dark purple ants to eat the lower background.

You need to start attacking the massive dark purple background. This background surrounds the entire rabbit and blocks access to the higher tiles. Look at your tray and find the connected vertical pairs that contain dark purple blocks. These blocks hold large numbers usually starting at forty. Pull a pair that brings a dark purple block into your waiting slots. Make sure the connected color also has an open path. A massive swarm of dark purple ants will pour out of the nest hole. They will march around the cleared bottom area and attack the background tiles on both the left and right sides. Watch the numbers on your dark purple blocks tick down rapidly. The ants will eat their way up the sides of the picture. This clearing action removes a huge obstacle and creates wide open paths to the upper sides of the rabbit. You must keep your waiting slots from filling up during this process. Wait for the dark purple block to drain completely before you pull another connected pair.

Step 4: Clear the central cyan and white sections to open the middle of the board.

With the lower background out of the way you can focus on the thick central section of the rabbit body. This area contains a large mix of white and cyan tiles. Check your tray for vertical pairs holding white and cyan numbered blocks. Pull a pair to send white ants toward the rabbit face and chest. Ensure the attached block color can also move. The white ants will travel up the open center path and spread out to eat the matching face tiles. Once you have slot space pull another pair to send cyan ants toward the back and upper belly. You will see the cyan block numbers drop from the twenties down to zero. The white block numbers will also drain entirely as the ants consume the intricate facial details. The entire middle of the rabbit vanishes. This leaves the board wide open for the final push toward the top. Your waiting slots remain clear because you waited for the previous numbers to hit zero.

Step 5: Send a second wave of dark purple ants to consume the side background tiles.

After the middle of the rabbit clears a lot of dark purple background remains on the upper left and upper right. The tray will supply more dark purple connected pairs. Pulling these fills the slots with numbers in the twenties and thirties. The travel distance is incredibly long now. The ants must run all the way from the bottom center up the sides of the board before they start eating. Because the travel distance is long the block numbers decrease slowly. You must be extremely patient here. Do not pull any more blocks while these dark purple ants make their long journey. If you pull another pair you will jam your five waiting slots completely. You lose the level instantly if no ants can find a valid path. Let the dark purple numbers count down to zero to free up your slots safely.

Step 6: Target the light purple accents and begin clearing the magenta ear sections.

A few scattered light purple tiles remain around the edges of the rabbit design. You must clear these before you can safely finish the main pink body. Find a connected pair in the tray that includes a light purple block. Pull it into your waiting slots. The light purple ants will march up the empty board and target these specific accent tiles. The number on the light purple block is relatively small. The block will empty quickly and disappear from your waiting slots. This action frees up crucial space in your tray. Now you can pull a pair containing a magenta block. The magenta ants will run all the way up and begin eating the outer edges of the tall rabbit ears.

Step 7: Focus on the large pink and magenta ear sections at the top of the design.

The only parts of the rabbit left are the large pink and magenta ears at the very top of the board. The tray provides several pink and magenta blocks connected in vertical pairs. You already have magenta ants working on the outer edges. Once a slot opens up pull a connected pair containing a pink block. Pink ants will swarm the inner ear sections. You have to balance the magenta and pink blocks carefully because they share space in your five waiting slots. The remaining tiles sit at the furthest point from the nest hole. The ants take a long time to travel up the empty board. Keep a close eye on your slots. Only pull a new pair when one of your current blocks reaches zero and vanishes completely.

Step 8: Empty your final tray blocks to consume the very last top edge tiles.

The top border of the picture still has a row of dark purple tiles. The pink and magenta ears are almost completely gone. Look at your tray to find the last remaining connected pairs. Pull a pair that brings a dark purple block into your slots. The dark purple ants will make the long trek to the top edge of the board to eat the final starry background tiles. The number on the dark purple block will count down to zero. At the same time the remaining pink ants will finish the very last tip of the rabbit ears. Your waiting slots will empty one by one. The last few ants will consume the final tiles and trigger the level victory.

Final Thought

Colony Flow Level 1290 demands careful planning because of the vertically connected tray boxes. You have to constantly monitor your five waiting slots to avoid a game ending jam. Focus on opening the bottom paths first and then alternate between the huge background and the intricate rabbit body. Take your time and let the ants do their work before pulling too many blocks at once. You can easily master this board with patience.
