Colony Flow Level 360 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 360

Welcome to another puzzle guide. Colony Flow Level 360 brings us a fantastic piece of pixel art to clear. You face a bright yellow rubber duck wearing a fancy black top hat and a matching bow tie. The duck floats in a large pool of light blue water with a vibrant red stripe across the upper background. Your goal is to guide your ant colony to consume every single colored tile on the board. You do this by matching the numbered blocks in your tray to the colors on the picture. I played this level from start to finish and I will show you exactly how to clear it without getting stuck.

Colony Flow Level 360 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board features a massive central duck figure made of yellow tiles. A large body of light blue water surrounds the bottom half of the duck. The top background consists of a red horizontal stripe and some pale yellow areas in the upper corners. You will see several colored keys resting on top of different tiles across the board. These keys correspond to colored locks located on specific blocks down in your tray. You must collect the keys by having your ants eat the tiles underneath them. This level also introduces Connected Boxes in your tray. You will notice thick yellow pipes and blue pipes linking certain light blue blocks together. When you tap one of these connected blocks the entire linked group moves up to your waiting slots at the same time.

What It Takes to Clear Level 360 Board

You win the level when the board is completely empty and the ants return to their nest hole. The primary challenge involves managing the limited space in your waiting slots. You only have five slots available to hold active blocks. If you fill all five slots with colors that have no open path to the matching tiles you lose the level instantly. The light blue water sections require a huge number of ants to clear. You must carefully cycle through the light blue connected boxes while digging into the edges of the picture to collect the keys. Unlocking the restricted blocks in your tray at the right time is the only way to reach the final black tiles of the top hat and bow tie.

Colony Flow Level 360 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the outer edges and begin draining the bottom pool.

You start the level with individual light blue and yellow blocks available in your tray. Tap the first yellow block to send a stream of yellow ants marching up the left side of the screen. They travel along the outer edge and begin chewing away the pale yellow tiles in the top left corner. Follow this immediately by tapping a light blue block. The light blue ants pour out of the nest and start eating the bottom layers of the blue water. Creating these initial paths is vital for your success. You open up physical space on the board and establish a steady flow of ants. This steady flow keeps your five waiting slots from jamming during the opening moves. Let the yellow block count down until it completely empties.

Step 2: Deploy the first set of connected light blue blocks.

The water section covers a huge area and requires a massive amount of light blue ants. Look down at your tray and locate the light blue blocks linked by connecting pipes. Tap this connected group to bring them up to your waiting slots. Because you already opened a path into the water during the first step the ants immediately begin flowing out of the nest hole. They spread out across the bottom of the duck and consume large chunks of the blue background. You want to maintain this continuous flow to keep the board active. As the ants chew deeper into the blue water they uncover the first few keys resting on top of the tiles. Keep watching the countdown numbers on the blocks to ensure they empty out.

Step 3: Clear the red stripe to uncover the pink keys.

With the water shrinking you can shift your attention to the left side of the picture. The yellow ants previously opened a path leading up toward the red stripe. Tap a red block from your tray to send red ants up the left wall. They aggressively eat into the red tiles located behind the duck. This specific move is crucial because several pink keys sit directly on top of this red stripe. As the red ants clear the tiles underneath the keys drop down and unlock more blocks in your tray. Always make sure a path is completely open before you pull a new color into the five slots. Taking your time here guarantees you never dead end your board.

Step 4: Consume the beak and open the center of the face.

You now have access to an orange block in your tray. Tap the orange block to send ants directly toward the duck beak. The orange ants march up and clear the small section of orange tiles. Clearing the beak breaks through the solid outer wall of the duck and opens a direct path to the center of the face. The keys you collected earlier will also trigger the green lock to open in your tray. You now have a fresh supply of light blue blocks available. The board is becoming much smaller and you have multiple paths open for different colors. Keep feeding light blue blocks into the slots as long as there is blue water touching the open paths.

Step 5: Flood the right side with another connected box group.

The right side of the board still holds a large amount of light blue water and a section of the red background stripe. You will see another set of connected light blue blocks sitting in your tray. Tap them to bring the entire linked group up. Because the bottom path remains wide open the light blue ants flood the right side of the picture. They consume the remaining water tiles on the right and grab the remaining green and purple keys scattered in that area. You must let these connected blocks fully drain before adding too many other colors to your slots. Tapping too many colors at once will fill the five slots and trigger a sudden loss. Patience is your best tool here.

Step 6: Dismantle the yellow duck body to access the final keys.

With the water mostly gone the solid yellow rubber duck body is fully exposed to the nest hole. Tap the large yellow blocks from your tray to begin the demolition. A massive swarm of yellow ants rushes the board and starts dismantling the duck from the bottom up. They rapidly eat through the belly, the tail, and the lower head. This massive consumption drops the final yellow keys located near the top of the duck head. Once the yellow ants collect these final keys the yellow lock in your tray pops open. You finally have access to the last few blocks required to finish the puzzle. Your waiting slots are completely clear and you are ready for the final push.

Step 7: Demolish the black top hat and finish the board.

Only the massive black top hat, the bow tie, and a tiny cluster of yellow background tiles remain on the board. Tap the newly unlocked yellow block to finish off the remaining yellow pieces in the top right corner. Then pull the giant black block into your waiting slots. This specific block holds a massive number of ants. The black ants stream out of the nest and march straight up the middle of the board. They swarm the black tiles and rapidly eat the entire top hat and the bow tie. Watch the numbers count down to zero as the last piece of the pixel art disappears from the screen. The board is now completely empty and you conquer the level.

Final Thought

Level 360 tests your ability to manage large connected blocks without clogging your waiting slots.
