Colony Flow Level 145 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 145

Colony Flow Level 145 plunges you straight into a dense pixel art puzzle featuring a large black cat head surrounded by bright yellow sunflower petals. This board looks beautiful but hides a massive amount of tiles that you must clear away. You will need to manage huge swarms of ants and sequence your block pulls perfectly to avoid a sudden game over. I will walk you through exactly how I clear this board without getting stuck.

Colony Flow Level 145 Overview

What You Are Working With

The main picture consists of thick layers of tiles. The outer boundary is made of yellow and orange petals. The four corners hold scattered green leaves and patches of dark blue background. In the very center sits the heavy black and dark blue shape of the cat. Your tray at the bottom of the screen is fully loaded with enormous block numbers. You will see blocks carrying fifty and even seventy ants. This level also introduces connected boxes. These are blocks joined together by a solid bar that move as a single unit. You will see several groups of connected boxes hidden deep inside the tray stack.

What It Takes to Clear Level 145 Board

You win the level when every single tile is eaten and the picture completely disappears. You accomplish this by pulling colored blocks from your tray into your five waiting slots. The ants will stream out of the nest hole and eat the matching colors on the board. The main danger in this level is filling your five waiting slots with blocks that have no open paths. If all five slots are full and no ants can leave the nest to reach their matching tiles the board is deadlocked and you lose instantly. You must peel the board away from the outside edges inward so the ants always have a clear walking path.

Colony Flow Level 145 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the board by clearing the outer yellow sunflower petals.

Your very first move is to pull the large yellow block holding forty five ants from your tray into a waiting slot. The yellow ants will rush out of the nest and trace the entire bottom border of the picture. They eat away the lowest boundary of the sunflower. Opening this thick yellow border gives the next wave of ants room to reach the green leaves at the top and the inner orange petals in the middle. You must always maintain an open lane for your colony. Watch the number on your yellow block count down to zero and wait for the block to vanish from your waiting slot before making too many more moves.

Step 2: Dispatch green and blue ants to tackle the leaves and background corners.

With the bottom edge gone you can now easily access the top corners of the picture. Pull the green block and the dark blue block into your waiting area. The green ants will stream out and head straight for the green leaf tiles located on the top left and top right edges. The dark blue ants will target the isolated background patches framing the outer edges of the flower. These blocks carry large numbers. You will see the ants marching in long lines around the far perimeter of the board. Keep an eye on your waiting slots and make sure these long distance blocks finish before you pull new colors.

Step 3: Focus on the inner orange petals to expose the main subject.

Your next major goal is to reach the cat in the center of the board. The cat is completely surrounded by a thick wall of orange tiles. Pull the orange blocks from your tray to send out the orange ants. These ants will carve deep into the flower and consume the inner ring of petals. This action significantly reduces the overall size of the obstacle on your board. Eating the orange tiles finally exposes the black and dark blue tiles that make up the cat face. You have now opened the main pathways needed for your heaviest blocks.

Step 4: Send a massive wave of black ants up the right side of the cat.

Now that the black tiles are fully exposed you can start breaking down the cat figure. You will see several high number black blocks in your tray at this stage. Pull these blocks to send your black ants charging up the right flank of the board. They will start eating the dark blue and black tiles that form the right ear and cheek of the cat. The black blocks have big numbers like fifty and forty. This means they will take a very long time to clear out of your waiting slots. Let them work and do not crowd your remaining empty slots with colors that cannot move.

Step 5: Navigate the connected tray blocks carefully to avoid jamming your slots.

As you dig deeper into the tray stack you will encounter connected boxes. These are special blocks joined together by a horizontal solid bar. When you tap a connected box both colored blocks jump into your waiting slots at the exact same time. You must have at least two completely empty slots available before you touch them. Before pulling a connected pair look closely at the board. You need to verify that both colors have an active open path. If one color can move but the other color is blocked behind a wall the blocked color will sit in your tray and permanently waste a slot.

Step 6: Deploy pink and white ants to break down the left side.

While the black ants continue their slow progress on the right side you should shift your attention to the left. Pull the pink blocks and white blocks from your tray. The pink ants will rush up the left side and eat the floral details near the cheek of the cat. The white ants will clear the lighter shaded sections near the bottom left of the cat face. By splitting your focus between the left side and the right side you keep a constant flow of ants moving out of the nest hole. This continuous dual movement ensures your waiting slots empty out at a steady safe pace.

Step 7: Manage the linked orange and brown blocks near the end.

As you approach the final stages of the level a connected orange and brown pair appears in your tray. This is a very dangerous moment if you rush it. Look at the remaining tiles on the board. You will see a few orange inner petals left on the left side and some brown shading on the top of the cat head. Confirm that the ants have a clear open lane to both of these distinct colors. Once you are absolutely sure the paths are clear you can pull the connected block. The orange and brown ants will deploy together and finish off those specific details without clogging your waiting slots.

Step 8: Clear the final cat tiles to complete the puzzle.

Only a handful of black and yellow tiles remain in the very center of the screen at this point. Your tray is now almost completely empty. Pull your last heavy black block holding seventy ants and your final yellow block into the slots. The ants will rush the middle of the board and aggressively consume the last pieces of the picture. Because the board is so small now the ants have a very short distance to travel. They will eat the remaining tiles rapidly. The screen will clear completely and you will secure the victory. Take a moment to appreciate the empty clean board before moving on to the next challenge.

Final Thought

Colony Flow Level 145 tests your ability to juggle massive blocks and connected boxes without panicking. Take your time and always double check your paths before you pull a double block into your waiting area. I highly recommend watching the video above this article if you want to see exactly how the ants navigate the board and how I manage the tray. Good luck and keep the colony moving forward.
