Colony Flow Level 333 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 333

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 333. This puzzle presents a fun challenge where you have to dismantle a large pixel art person wearing a bright checkered shirt. You will face a massive background and a stubborn Hungry Door sitting right in the center of the chest. I played this level several times to find the perfect sequence of moves. You need to manage a crowded tray and keep your wait slots open by chipping away at the outer background first. Grab your device and get ready to command your ants to victory.

Colony Flow Level 333 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture at the top of your screen is a detailed pixel character completely surrounded by a massive light green background. The character design features thick black outlines to define the overall shape. At the very bottom you will see brown shoes and bright blue belt details. The main body is a checkered shirt made entirely of alternating pink and dark blue squares. The head and hands feature beige skin tiles and the character has thick brown hair on top. A large brown Hungry Door sits squarely on the center chest area with the number twenty printed clearly on it. Your tray at the bottom of the screen is packed with stacked number blocks. You will see light green, black, brown, pink, light blue, dark blue, and beige blocks waiting for you to pull them. You only have five wait slots available just above the tray.

What It Takes to Clear Level 333 Board

You win this level when every single tile is gone from the board and the final ants return to the nest hole. You achieve this by feeding the ants the right colors in the exact right order so they can reach the inner sections of the character. The Hungry Door is the main obstacle. It will count down and eventually open as you clear the specific character tiles touching it or surrounding it. Your biggest danger is filling up your five wait slots. If you pull a block from the tray and the ants cannot find a clear path to that matching color the block will sit there and jam your slot. If all five slots fill up with trapped blocks you lose the level instantly. You must keep the paths open and plan your pulls carefully.

Colony Flow Level 333 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Begin by clearing the massive light green background

The light green background takes up a huge portion of the board and completely blocks access to the upper arms and head of the character. You want to pull a large thirty five count light green block from the top layer of your tray first. The light green ants will stream out of the nest hole at the bottom and spread out. They will start eating the bottom left and bottom right corners of the background. This immediate action opens up some crucial breathing room around the shoes and the lower border of the pixel art figure. Do not pull too many different inner colors at once right now. You must let the light green ants do their initial work so your wait slots stay clear and active. If you pull a color from the head right now you will jam a slot permanently.

Step 2: Bring in brown and black blocks to tackle the shoes and lower outline

Now that the bottom corners of the green background are open you can easily reach the brown shoes and the black outline of the character legs. Look at your tray and pull an eight count brown block into your wait slot. Follow that up by pulling a thirty five count black block. The brown ants will immediately head straight up the middle path to devour the shoes. The black ants will follow right behind them but split off to the sides. They will start crawling up the outer edges of the legs to eat the thick black border tiles. Your wait slots will drain very quickly because these bottom tiles are directly exposed to the open paths you just created. Keeping a steady flow of ants on these lower border tiles prevents any block from sitting stagnant in your slots.

Step 3: Attack the lower portion of the bright checkered shirt

The pink and light blue tiles of the lower shirt and belt are now completely exposed to the ants. Search your tray and pull a thirty count pink block into the active slots. Follow that by pulling a three count light blue block. The pink ants will rush in to eat the pink squares on the shirt sleeves and the lower torso section. The light blue ants will target and clear the very small bright blue details located right on the belt area. You need to keep a close eye on the brown Hungry Door right now. As your ants clear the shirt tiles touching the outer edges of the door the number on the front will drop. You will watch it go from twenty down to eighteen as the pink ants clear those adjacent squares. This confirms you are clearing the right pieces. The door will continue to count down as you feed the ants the remaining clothing and skin tiles.

Step 4: Pull more light green blocks to reach the upper background sections

With the lower sides of the character entirely cleared out the ants can now march much higher up the board. Look at your tray and pull another large thirty five count light green block into the wait slots. These light green ants will march past the legs and all the way up both sides of the board. They will begin to eat the light green tiles surrounding the head and the raised arms of the character. This is a crucial move for your board progression. If you try to pull the skin or hair colors before this outer green layer is gone your blocks will get stuck. You always have to clear the board from the outside in to ensure the ants have a clear path to travel. Keeping the green receding ensures your wait slots never back up.

Step 5: Send in black and blue ants for the arms and upper shirt

The sides and upper arms of the character are completely exposed now that the green is receding. You need to pull a sixteen count dark blue block from the tray and let it join the black block already working in your wait slots. The black ants will continue their steady progress eating the thick black border around the raised arms and the sides of the head. The dark blue ants will march into the center and start clearing the dark blue squares on the upper half of the checkered shirt. The Hungry Door number will drop down to fourteen as these upper shirt tiles disappear from the board. You are making very steady progress here and keeping your wait slots perfectly balanced with active blocks.

Step 6: Clear the beige hands and the main face area

The walking paths to the skin tiles are wide open now. Search the lower layers of your tray and pull a nine count beige block up into your wait slots. The beige ants will march out of the nest and immediately split into three groups. Some will head to the left to eat the raised hand. Another group will go right for the other hand. The rest of the beige ants will swarm the main face area in the upper center of the board. This is a highly satisfying stage of the puzzle because clearing the face fully exposes the remaining brown hair. It also brings the Hungry Door number down even further. Watch your wait slots carefully during this rush. You will have several blocks sitting there but the open paths guarantee they will keep draining rapidly into the open board.

Step 7: Finish the brown hair and the remaining outer background

You only have a few scattered light green tiles left at the very top of the board and a solid chunk of brown hair on the top of the character head. Pull a four count brown block and another light green block from your tray. The brown ants will rush up the middle and completely devour the remaining hair tiles. The light green ants will march all the way to the top edge to finish off the very last pieces of the background. Pay attention to the center of the chest. The Hungry Door number drops down to twelve and then rapidly counts down to zero as the final hair and skin tiles vanish from the board. The door is now ready to open.

Step 8: Feed the final dark blue tiles revealed inside the open Hungry Door

The brown Hungry Door finally pops open and reveals a hidden block of dark blue tiles underneath it. You should have one final twenty count dark blue block waiting at the very bottom of your tray. Pull this dark blue block up into your last available wait slot. The dark blue ants will rush straight out of the hole and into the center of the board to eat these final twenty tiles. There is no other food left on the board so they will finish the job quickly. Once they clear the last square the ants will run back down the path and disappear into the nest hole. The board is perfectly clear and you win the level.
