Colony Flow Level 271 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 271

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 271. This level features a beautiful pixel art picture of a white cat playing music on a bright pink background. You need to manage your waiting slots carefully because a massive brown section on the right edge blocks the main path. I will show you how to clear this board safely without jamming your tray.

Colony Flow Level 271 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board presents a pixel art image of a white cat playing music. A bright pink background surrounds the cat. The cat rests on a light blue table over a red and brown carpet. On the right side of the screen sits a massive brown section holding a 400 count. A locked pink box with a 20 count sits in the bottom left corner. You must collect keys during the level to open this locked box. Your tray contains purple, white, light blue, pink, brown, red, black, and yellow blocks. Some of the yellow blocks in your tray begin locked and will only open later. You have five waiting slots at the bottom.

What It Takes to Clear Level 271 Board

To beat this board you need to dismantle the giant brown block on the right side first. Removing this obstacle provides a clear route to the top pink background. From there you can safely clear the background and start taking apart the white cat body. You must pick up keys along the way to open the locked pink box in the corner. You win the game when your ants eat every pixel art tile and return to their nest hole. The core challenge is keeping your five waiting slots empty enough to maintain a constant flow of ants.

Colony Flow Level 271 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Send brown blocks to reduce the massive right side wall

Start the level by focusing entirely on the huge brown section on the right side of the screen. This area has a giant 400 count that acts as a solid physical wall blocking your ants from moving upward into the main picture. Tap the brown blocks in your tray to pull them into your waiting slots at the bottom. The ants will stream out of the nest hole and travel right to start eating the thick brown wall. You need to keep pulling brown blocks to chip away at that massive 400 number steadily. Do not touch any other colors in your tray right now. If you pull a pink or white block early, it will sit dead in your tray and take up valuable space that you need for brown blocks. Let the brown ants do their hard work until the right side finally opens up a clean path to the top area.

Step 2: Route pink ants to the left background area

Once you clear enough of the brown wall, your ants can reach the bright pink background. Look at your tray and select the available pink blocks. The pink ants will emerge and march up the newly opened right path and spread across the left side of the screen. They will begin eating the pink tiles surrounding the cat. This background covers a very large area so you will need to process multiple pink blocks to clear it. Watch your five waiting slots closely. Give the ants enough time to finish their current numbers before you pull another pink block. Rushing will cause the slots to jam and instantly end your game. Clear the left side completely to expose the edges of the white cat.

Step 3: Use light blue blocks to eat the table area

The white cat rests directly on top of a light blue surface. With the left background gone, you have a clear approach to the middle of the board. Find the light blue blocks in your tray and tap them. The ants will path straight under the cat and remove the light blue tiles. This move separates the main pixel art character from the red carpet at the bottom. You can also send purple ants to clear the small paw details during this time. The paths for the light blue ants and the purple ants do not cross. Running both colors at once helps you cycle through your tray faster without causing a traffic jam in your waiting slots.

Step 4: Release white ants to consume the main cat shape

The biggest remaining piece of the picture is the white cat body. Pull the white blocks from your tray into your waiting slots. A large swarm of white ants will flood the center of the board and start consuming the white tiles. Because the cat shape requires a massive number of ants to clear completely, these white blocks will sit in your tray for quite a while as the numbers slowly count down to zero. You must keep your hands completely away from the tray while the white ants work on the board. Pulling another color right now will certainly fill your last open slots and force a loss. Wait patiently until the main torso and head of the cat disappear completely before you make your next move.

Step 5: Send black blocks to remove the borders and face

As the white body vanishes from the board, the black outline pieces remain floating in the middle. These black tiles make up the borders, ears, eyes, and mouth of the cat. Locate the black blocks in your tray and pull them. The black ants will follow the newly opened empty space to reach these scattered outline sections. This step requires precision because the remaining tiles are spread out across a wide area. The black ants will split into smaller groups to reach the different facial features. Always verify that a clear path exists to every black tile before you pull a black block. Keeping an eye on the path ensures your slots never jam up with a stuck color.

Step 6: Clear the remaining pink tiles at the top

Look toward the very top of the board to find the leftover pink tiles. These upper tiles form the musical notes and the top edge of the background. Tap the remaining pink blocks in your tray to send a fresh wave of pink ants to the top edge. The path is incredibly wide and open now that the central cat is entirely gone. The pink ants will rush across the upper screen and quickly eat the musical notes. This action removes a huge chunk of the picture and cycles new blocks into your tray. Match the block numbers carefully to the remaining pink tiles so you keep a steady flow of ants moving without filling your slots.

Step 7: Use the keys to open the locked pink box

Direct your attention to the bottom left corner of the screen. You will see a pink box holding a 20 count. At the start of the level this box featured a lock. By clearing the top and middle sections of the board you automatically collected the hidden keys needed for this section. The lock is now gone and the box is ready to be cleared. Pull a pink block from your tray to send ants directly to this corner. The pink ants will consume the box and clear the 20 count from the board. Finishing this locked box triggers the yellow blocks in your tray to unlock. Managing this lock mechanic properly is the only way to progress to the final stage.

Step 8: Send red and yellow ants to finish the bottom section

The only large section left on the board is the bottom red carpet. Start pulling your red blocks to send ants to the lower left area. The tray also holds small yellow blocks that you unlocked in the previous step. Pull those yellow blocks to clear the tiny yellow details sprinkled near the carpet. The ants will swarm the bottom edge of the board and rapidly eat the red and yellow tiles. Because the entire upper screen is empty, the travel distance is extremely short. The ants will reach the food quickly and clear your waiting slots in record time. Ensure every single red and yellow tile is completely gone before moving on.

Step 9: Use your last blocks to wipe the board completely clean

Scan the entire board to spot any tiny leftover pieces. You will find a few small brown and pink tiles lingering in the corners. Pull the exact matching blocks from your tray to send your final groups of ants out of the hole. Even at this late stage you must manage your waiting slots carefully. Only pull a block if you absolutely see the matching color sitting on the board. The ants will eat these last stragglers and clean the screen completely. The game will register your win the moment the picture is empty and the ants return safely to the nest hole.
