Colony Flow Level 1314 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 1314

Colony Flow Level 1314 drops you right onto a sandy beach scene complete with a bright sunny sky and a massive sandcastle. You need to carve away the pixel art piece by piece while managing a busy tray full of tricky connected blocks. The challenge comes from making sure your ants always have an open path to reach their matching colors. If you rush and fill your waiting slots without a clear path you will quickly fail the stage. I played through this board multiple times to find the safest route to victory.

Colony Flow Level 1314 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture is a beautifully detailed large sandcastle built with yellow, orange, and brown tiles. Above the castle sits a bright blue sky dotted with white clouds and solid dark blue borders. Right at the top center of the board you will find a Hungry Door starting with a massive 400 point requirement. Down in the tray you have a mix of light blue, dark blue, yellow, orange, brown, and white numbered blocks. Each block holds a specific number of ants, like a blue block with 55 or a light blue block with 48. Many of these blocks feature the Connected Boxes mechanic meaning thick lines link them together. You have to pull these connected blocks into the waiting slots as a single group.

What It Takes to Clear Level 1314 Board

To clear this board you must feed the colored tiles to your ant colony in a specific order that naturally opens up the Hungry Door. The door requires 400 matches to finally unlock and clear itself from the top of the sandcastle. You achieve this by continuously matching your blue and light blue blocks to the sky and your yellow, orange, and brown blocks to the sandcastle. The core rule remains constant where you lose if the five waiting slots at the bottom fill up and no ants can move. You win when every single tile is eaten and the board is completely empty.

Colony Flow Level 1314 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Focus on the outer edges of the blue sky and yellow castle towers.

Begin the level by targeting the outermost sections of the pixel art to create wide avenues for your ants. Pull your initial dark blue and light blue blocks to send ants up the left and right sides of the board. These ants will chew through the sky tiles and create vertical open paths that stretch all the way to the top. At the same time bring up a few yellow and orange blocks to start chipping away at the outer towers of the sandcastle. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on the five waiting slots at the bottom. You want to make sure the blue and yellow blocks have immediate access to their matching colors so they never sit idle and block upcoming moves. This steady stream of early matches drops the Hungry Door requirement down from 400 to 235 very quickly.

Step 2: Clear the Connected Boxes carefully to avoid slot jams.

You will soon notice several blocks in the tray are joined together by thick solid lines. These Connected Boxes pull into the waiting slots as a single unit and take up multiple spaces at once. Pull a pair of connected light blue blocks only when you have a wide open path to the sky tiles. If you pull them too early before the right colors are exposed they will clog your waiting slots and block other colors from moving. Send these connected ants straight up to the remaining sky sections where they have plenty of food to consume. Follow this up by dispatching brown and yellow ants to the lower sections of the sandcastle. This balances the board and ensures multiple colors are clearing simultaneously without dead ending your paths.

Step 3: Attack the midsection of the sandcastle and the lower sky.

With the outer edges heavily reduced your ants can easily access the thicker middle sections of the picture. Bring up your heavy numbered brown and orange blocks to eat away the structural core of the sandcastle. The paths are much wider now so you can safely load multiple blocks into the waiting slots without fear of a sudden jam. Send a fresh wave of light blue ants to clear the horizon line where the sky directly meets the castle towers. The Hungry Door requirement will plummet down to 183 as these massive groups of tiles disappear under the swarming ants. Always verify that one block is actively counting down before you decide to pull the next one from the tray.

Step 4: Target the upper corners of the dark blue sky.

The dark blue tiles in the top left and top right corners are now completely exposed and ready to be eaten. Pull your remaining large dark blue blocks and send the ants scaling up the extreme sides to consume these specific clusters. As the dark blue sky vanishes the ants will naturally start eating the tiles directly adjacent to the Hungry Door. You must also bring up a few stray yellow blocks to keep the sandcastle shrinking at a steady pace. The board looks much less cluttered at this stage but you still need to respect the five waiting slots limitation. Let the dark blue ants finish their massive meal before you introduce a new complex connected box group.

Step 5: Navigate the mixed connected groups into the remaining structures.

The tray now presents you with tricky Connected Boxes containing mixed colors like light blue, dark blue, and yellow all tied together. You must ensure all three of these colors have an active path before you pull this massive group. Look at the board and confirm there are still light blue sky fragments, dark blue edge pieces, and yellow castle pieces actively available for eating. Once you confirm the open paths pull the mixed connected group and watch the ants divide automatically to conquer their respective colors. This strategic move heavily depletes the board and drops the Hungry Door down to a mere 45 points. The main sandcastle structure is now reduced to just a central pillar.

Step 6: Chew through the brown and orange castle core.

Focus your attention directly beneath the Hungry Door where a dense block of brown and orange tiles stubbornly remains. Pull your brown and orange blocks into the waiting slots and route the ants straight up the middle path. Because the surrounding board is mostly empty these ants will march in a straight uniform line and devour the core rapidly. Keep pulling the required matching colors from the tray to maintain the intense pressure on the structure. The door requirement falls to 30 as the castle core totally evaporates under the swarm. You are now extremely close to breaking the door wide open so keep the momentum going by feeding exactly what the board demands.

Step 7: Break the Hungry Door wide open.

You only need a few more simple matches to finally satisfy the massive Hungry Door. Pull your remaining light blue and blue blocks to clear out the very last floating sky fragments near the top of the screen. As the ants consume these final blue pieces the door requirement aggressively counts down to zero. The large wooden structure shatters brilliantly and disappears from the board entirely. This reveals the empty space behind it and leaves you with just a few scattered white cloud tiles and a tiny remnant of the yellow sandcastle. The entire board is now wide open and completely accessible for your final cleanup crew.

Step 8: Mop up the white clouds and final yellow tiles.

The final stretch is completely straightforward now that the massive door is permanently out of your way. Pull the white blocks from your tray to send a swarm of ants up to the floating white cloud tiles you ignored earlier. While the white ants are working hard pull the last remaining yellow and brown blocks to finish off the tiny golden spire left in the direct center. Your waiting slots are completely safe from jamming at this point because every single remaining tile is perfectly exposed. Watch the last few ants carry away the final pieces of the picture. The board becomes perfectly empty and you successfully beat the level.

Final Thought

This level tests your patience with connected groups and requires you to manage your space wisely. You must treat the massive door at the top as a natural countdown while you chip away at the surrounding structures. Keep your paths open and never let those bottom slots fill up with trapped colors.
