Colony Flow Level 175 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 175

Colony Flow Level 175 brings a beautifully detailed casino and timepiece theme to your screen. You will dismantle a large picture featuring a golden pocket watch resting on top of playing cards and casino chips. The vibrant colors and intricate overlapping shapes make this level visually appealing but also quite challenging to unpack. You must carefully peel back the layers of this picture without clogging your limited waiting space. I play every single level to figure out the safest routes and I am here to guide you through this exact puzzle.

Colony Flow Level 175 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board presents a complex pixel art design right from the start. A massive light blue border frames the entire scene. Inside this border you will find white playing cards decorated with red hearts and black spades. A large yellow and orange pocket watch dominates the center complete with black hands and a white face. To the left you will see pink playing cards and dark purple shapes representing shadows. The tray at the bottom holds blocks with numbers that correspond to these colors. You will see light blue pink orange dark purple white black red and yellow blocks throughout the level. The numbers on these blocks tell you exactly how many tiles the ants will carry away. This level introduces connected boxes later in the tray. These are two blocks joined together by a bright white line. They enter your waiting slots as a single unit and take up two spaces at once. You must manage your board carefully because there are no hidden boxes locks or chocolate blocks to worry about. The pure volume of tiles and the tricky connected boxes provide all the challenge you need.

What It Takes to Clear Level 175 Board

To win this level you must completely erase the pocket watch the playing cards and the casino chips from the screen. Your colony of ants lives in a nest hole near the bottom. When you pull a block from the tray into one of the five waiting slots the ants rush out to find matching colored tiles on the board. They carry the food back to the nest and the number on the block counts down to zero. Once the block reaches zero it disappears and frees up that waiting slot for a new block. You lose the level if you fill all five waiting slots with blocks that have no open paths to their matching colors. Your primary goal is to always leave an open route for the ants so they never stop moving. You clear the board by constantly rotating fresh blocks into the tray and ensuring the connected boxes never jam your progress.

Colony Flow Level 175 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the light blue border and left side pink shapes

When you start the level the entire picture is tightly packed together. The only accessible areas are the outer edges. You must begin by attacking the massive light blue border that surrounds the entire scene. Pull a light blue block from the tray to send your first wave of ants upward. While they work on the border pull a pink block to target the pink playing cards on the left side. You can also pull an orange block to begin dismantling the casino chips at the bottom. By targeting three different areas at once you create multiple entry points into the core of the picture. Watch the numbers on the blocks count down. Do not pull any more blocks until one of these initial three disappears. Keeping empty slots in your waiting area is the most effective way to prevent an early loss.

Step 2: Access the white card faces and dark purple shadows

As the outer light blue border thins out and the pink cards shrink you will expose the white backgrounds of the central playing cards. Pull a white block from your tray. The white blocks hold very large numbers because the playing cards cover a vast area of the screen. At the same time pull a dark purple block to clear the shadows behind the cards and the dark purple casino chips. The ants will stream across the board to gather the white and dark purple tiles. You will notice that clearing the white tiles begins to expose the red and black suit symbols painted on the cards. Do not rush to pull red or black blocks yet. Wait until the white ants have cleared enough space so the red and black shapes are fully touching an open path.

Step 3: Clear the inner card suits and gold pocket watch details

With the white card faces partially gone the small red and black details are now vulnerable. Pull a red block to send ants after the hearts and diamonds. Pull a black block to clear the spades and clubs. These blocks have smaller numbers but they are needed to unlock the layers beneath the cards. Once the suits are cleared you will have a clear path to the center pocket watch. Pull a yellow block to start eating away at the golden casing of the watch and the shiny coins scattered near the bottom. The yellow and orange tiles are tightly woven together to create a metallic gleam. You must alternate between yellow and orange blocks to peel this section apart smoothly. Always verify that your ants have a clear line of sight to the yellow tiles before committing a block to your waiting slots.

Step 4: Manage the first connected light blue and yellow boxes

This level introduces a major complication as you dig deeper into the tray. You will encounter your first set of connected boxes. You will see a light blue block physically linked to a yellow block by a bright white line. When you select either block both of them move into your waiting slots simultaneously. They will occupy two of your five precious spaces immediately. Before you tap them look closely at the board. You must confirm that there is an open path to the light blue border and an open path to the yellow watch casing. If the yellow tiles are buried under orange tiles you must clear the orange tiles first. Pulling the linked blocks too early will leave the yellow block stuck in your tray while the light blue block counts down. Once you pull the linked pair safely the ants will split up. Some will attack the light blue border while others harvest the yellow watch. They will quickly count down and free up both slots if you planned your paths correctly.

Step 5: Process the linked dark purple pair

Shortly after managing the first connected boxes you will face another linked pair. This time it consists of two dark purple blocks connected together. This is slightly easier to handle because both blocks demand the exact same color path. Pulling this pair will dedicate two slots to dark purple tiles. The ants will pour out in huge numbers to devour the remaining shadows and dark purple casino chips. Ensure that you have a large cluster of dark purple exposed on the board before you make this move. If only a few dark purple pixels are available the blocks will count down very slowly and choke your waiting area. You need a wide open lane for the ants to move fast. Keep clearing nearby pink and white tiles to maximize the exposed surface area for the dark purple ants. The faster they can reach the tiles the faster your tray will empty.

Step 6: Tackle the massive linked white and black boxes

Your next major hurdle is a gigantic connected pair featuring a white block linked to a black block. The white block holds an enormous number because it clears the entire background of the pocket watch face and the remaining playing cards. The black block will clear the intricate hands of the watch and any leftover card suits scattered around the edges. This move requires extreme caution and careful timing. The white tiles on the watch face are surrounded by yellow and orange borders. You must break through those borders completely before you pull this linked pair. If you trap a huge white block in your tray because the watch face is sealed off you will likely lose the level right there. Wait until a wide gap opens in the yellow casing then pull the white and black pair. The ants will flood the center of the board and erase a huge portion of the picture all at once.

Step 7: Clear the connected dark purple and pink blocks

As the center of the board empties you must turn your attention back to the left side. You will find a connected pair containing a dark purple block and a pink block. The pink block carries a heavy number designed to wipe out the final sections of the pink playing cards. The dark purple block will clean up the last few shadows in that corner. Make sure the light blue border on the left side is sufficiently cleared so the ants can easily reach the pink shapes. Pull the connected boxes and watch the left side of the picture dissolve entirely. Your board is now looking very sparse with only scattered islands of color remaining.

Step 8: Handle the final linked boxes and colored details

The tray will present one more set of complex connected boxes. You will see an orange block next to a dark purple block linked to a red block. You also have light blue and white blocks waiting. Focus on the linked dark purple and red pair first. Pull them into the tray to clear the very last card suits and stray shadow pixels. The red tiles are small and scattered so the ants will have to travel across the empty board to find them. Give them time to complete their journey. Then pull the orange block to finish the last bits of the casino chips. Your waiting slots should be mostly empty now giving you plenty of breathing room to plan your final moves.

Step 9: Clean up the last scattered pieces to win the level

You are now at the very end of the level. The massive picture is reduced to a few tiny fragments. The tray holds a few single colored blocks including yellow pink and light blue. Pull the yellow block to send ants after the final golden pixels of the pocket watch. Pull the pink block to erase the last speck of the playing cards. Finally pull the light blue block to destroy the very last segment of the outer border resting in the top right corner. The ants will run across the vast empty space pick up the final pieces and return to the nest. The blocks will hit zero disappear from your tray and trigger the victory screen. You have successfully navigated the connected boxes and cleared the entire board without a single jam.

Final Thought

Level 175 requires careful planning around the connected boxes to ensure your waiting slots never fill up completely. Always double check your paths before pulling a linked pair into the tray.
