Colony Flow Level 246 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 246

Colony Flow Level 246 brings a classic night sky pixel art scene for you to dismantle piece by piece. You command your ant swarm to eat through a massive light blue background to reveal the glowing moon and stars hidden inside. Keeping your ants moving requires careful block selection from the tray below so you never dead end your paths.

Colony Flow Level 246 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture dominating the center of your screen is a bright night sky. A giant light blue background fills the entire frame. Inside this light blue block you see a bright yellow crescent moon with an orange inner shadow edge. Several orange stars float around the moon. Thick dark purple and dark blue clouds sit at the bottom of the picture and float in the middle of the sky. The nest hole sits directly beneath the bottom cloud layer. The tray at the bottom holds numbered blocks in light blue, dark purple, yellow, and orange. You start the level with five empty waiting slots sitting just above the tray.

What It Takes to Clear Level 246 Board

You win the level when the ants eat every single pixel of the night sky picture and clear the board completely. You lose if you fill all five waiting slots with blocks that have no open path to their matching color. Because the entire outer edge of the picture is made of dark bottom clouds and light blue sky, the ants cannot reach the yellow moon or the orange stars right away. You must systematically peel away the bottom clouds and the massive light blue background before you touch the inner colors. Managing your waiting slots during the long light blue phase is the only way to survive this board.

Colony Flow Level 246 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the bottom edge by targeting the dark clouds

The nest hole sits right under the large dark purple and dark blue clouds at the base of the picture. The ants cannot reach the light blue background yet because these bottom clouds block the way. Look at your tray and find the dark purple numbered blocks. Tap a dark purple block to move it into your waiting slots. The ants will immediately stream out of the nest and march straight up into the bottom cloud layer. Watch the number on the block count down as the ants carry the dark purple pieces away. This initial breach opens up the sides of the board.

Step 2: Send the ants around the sides to eat the light blue background

Once the ants chew a gap through the bottom clouds they can walk around the left and right edges. This exposes the massive light blue background covering the rest of the board. Now you need to tap the light blue blocks in your tray. These blocks carry high numbers like 35. Pull a light blue block up into your slots and watch the ants split into two wide paths going up both sides of the picture. The ants will form long flowing lines as they start eating away the vast expanse of light blue pixels.

Step 3: Keep your waiting slots clear of trapped inner colors

This phase is where careless taps will cost you the game. As you pull light blue blocks from the tray you will uncover yellow and orange blocks hidden in the layers beneath. Do not touch the yellow or orange blocks yet. The yellow moon and the orange stars are completely surrounded by the light blue background. If you pull a yellow block into your waiting slots the ants will have no way to reach the moon. That yellow block will sit there and occupy a valuable slot. Focus entirely on the active colors and ignore the trapped inner colors completely.

Step 4: Maintain a steady flow of light blue blocks to clear the top sky

The light blue background is huge and requires many blocks to clear completely. As the ants march higher they will wrap around the top corners of the picture. You must keep feeding them light blue blocks from the tray. It is perfectly safe to have three or four light blue blocks sitting in your waiting slots all at once. Because the ants have an open path to the light blue background they will continuously drain the numbers from all those blocks. Keep the swarm moving and watch the top section of the sky slowly disappear.

Step 5: Attack the remaining dark purple clouds in the middle

With the vast majority of the light blue background gone the inner shapes finally become exposed. The ants can now reach the middle clouds floating beneath the moon. Tap the remaining dark purple blocks in your tray to send the swarm after these inner cloud pieces. The ants will climb up the empty sides of the board and swarm the middle dark purple sections. You will see the numbers drop rapidly as the ants chew through the remaining dark weather elements.

Step 6: Break down the yellow and orange crescent moon

The massive crescent moon is now fully exposed on all sides. The moon features a bright yellow core and an orange shadow edge along its inner curve. Now is the perfect time to bring up those yellow blocks you ignored earlier. Tap the yellow blocks and pull them into your waiting slots. The ants will surround the moon and attack it from every angle. Bring up an orange block as well so the ants can start eating the orange shadow edge at the same time. The giant moon shape will shrink drastically as the swarm works from the outside in.

Step 7: Clear the scattered orange stars and stray pixels

You are now at the very end of the board. Only a few scattered orange stars and a handful of stray pixels remain floating in the empty space. Look closely at the remaining pieces on the board and match them to the final blocks sitting in your tray. Tap the exact colors you need to finish the job. The final ants will run up to grab these last few pieces and carry them back down to the nest. Watch the final numbers hit zero and the board wipe completely clean to claim your win.

Final Thought

Colony Flow Level 246 tests your patience by hiding the central moon behind a massive wall of light blue pixels. Surviving this level just requires you to hold off on pulling those tempting yellow and orange blocks until the background is thoroughly cleared away. Keep your slots open and let the ants do the heavy lifting along the outside edges first.
