Colony Flow Level 376 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 376

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 376. This level presents a fun pixel art picture of a yellow creature with red cheeks and black ear tips. You will face a busy board with a light blue background and two massive brown boxes sitting right in the middle of the picture. I played through this level and found that managing your limited tray space is the biggest challenge here. You must carefully balance pulling single blocks and connected blocks to keep your ants moving without causing a jam.

Colony Flow Level 376 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board displays a colorful creature design made of yellow, red, white, and black tiles. A solid border of light blue tiles frames the upper section of the creature. Right in the center of the picture sit two large brown boxes. Each box displays a high number that counts down as you clear the regular colored tiles around them. The left box starts at 120 and the right box begins at 163.

At the bottom of the screen you have your tray of colored numbered blocks. The tray holds stacks of white, light blue, red, orange, yellow, and black blocks. This level also features connected boxes in the tray. These are two different colored blocks linked together by a glowing line. When you pull a connected box it moves into your waiting slots as a single unit but requires open paths for both colors to clear.

Between the tray and the picture you will see five empty waiting slots. You pull blocks from the tray into these slots to feed your ants. The ants emerge from a nest hole located just below the picture. They travel up the open paths to reach and eat the matching colored tiles.

What It Takes to Clear Level 376 Board

To beat this level you must clear every colored tile from the board. You achieve this by matching the colored blocks in your tray to the exposed tiles on the picture. As your ants eat the colored tiles around the large brown boxes the numbers on those boxes will decrease. When a box reaches zero it vanishes and uncovers the tiles underneath.

Your main goal is to keep a steady flow of ants leaving the nest hole. You lose the level if you fill all five waiting slots with blocks that have no open path to their matching tiles. You must always ensure that at least one block in your waiting slots has an active route to the picture. You win when the final colored tile disappears and your ants leave the board.

Colony Flow Level 376 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open paths with your first blocks

Your first priority is to get the ants moving and create some working space around the edges of the picture. Look at the exposed tiles on the board. The outer edges feature light blue tiles and the bottom edge shows some white and red tiles. Pull a white block and a light blue block from your tray into the waiting slots. The white ants will march straight up to the bottom of the red and white circular cheek on the right side. The light blue ants will split up and travel to the far left and far right edges of the background. Pull an orange block and a red block next. The orange ants will start eating the bottom outline of the creature while the red ants attack the upper section of the cheek. This initial spread of ants keeps your waiting slots active and prevents early jams.

Step 2: Manage the first pair of connected boxes

As you clear the top layers of your tray a pair of connected boxes will become available. This specific pair links a light blue block and a black block. Pull this connected pair into your waiting slots only when you see clear paths for both colors on the board. The light blue tiles are still accessible on the outer edges so those ants will flow freely. The black tiles form the outline of the creature and the tips of the ears. Since your orange and white ants have cleared the bottom section the black ants can now reach the lower outlines. Both halves of the connected block will send out ants at the same time. You must monitor their progress carefully. If the black ants run out of exposed tiles before the black block finishes counting down that half of the connected pair will stall. Always keep the surrounding colors clearing so the black tiles remain exposed.

Step 3: Work around the large brown boxes

The two large brown boxes in the center of the board are your biggest obstacles right now. You cannot destroy them directly with a specific colored block. Instead you must clear the yellow, red, and black tiles that border them. As your ants eat these adjacent tiles you will see the numbers on the brown boxes drop significantly. Pull another red block and a white block from the tray to keep the pressure on the circular cheek area. The right brown box covers a large portion of this cheek. By clearing the red and white tiles you reduce the number on that right box from 163 down to 89 and eventually lower. Make sure you do not pull too many red blocks at once. If you fill your slots with red blocks but the red tiles are blocked by the brown box your board will jam and you will lose.

Step 4: Deploy the second pair of connected boxes

Further down in your tray you will uncover another pair of connected boxes. This pair joins a light blue block with a yellow block. Bring this pair up into your waiting slots once you have at least two empty spaces. The yellow face of the creature is starting to open up as the brown boxes shrink. The yellow ants will rush the center of the board and begin clearing the massive yellow section. The light blue ants will continue chipping away at the background. At this stage the numbers on your brown boxes will be getting very low. The left box will drop from 40 down to single digits. You need to maintain a smooth rotation in your waiting slots. Whenever a slot opens up pull a single block that matches a color with a wide open path. A single orange block is a safe choice here to finish off the lower edges.

Step 5: Eliminate the brown boxes completely

Your persistent clearing of the surrounding tiles will finally pay off. The numbers on both large brown boxes will hit zero and the boxes will disappear from the board entirely. This event opens up the entire center of the picture revealing a large number of yellow tiles. Now is the time to unleash your yellow blocks. Pull the high numbered yellow blocks from your tray into the waiting slots. You will see a massive swarm of yellow ants pour out of the nest hole and flood the center of the creature face. Since the brown boxes are gone the yellow ants have completely unrestricted access to their targets. Your waiting slots will empty out rapidly as the yellow blocks count down at top speed.

Step 6: Clear the remaining background colors

While the yellow ants are busy devouring the face you must address the remaining background tiles. The upper corners of the board still hold a solid chunk of light blue tiles. Pull the last remaining light blue blocks from your tray. You will also see a few black tiles left on the very tips of the ears. If you have a black block available pull it up to finish the outline. The board is very open now so the risk of dead ending is extremely low. The ants will take the shortest paths to the top corners. Keep your eyes on the tray and pull the blocks as soon as a slot becomes available. You want to clear the tray as quickly as possible to wrap up the level.

Step 7: Finish the board and secure the win

You are now down to the final few blocks in your tray. Only a small handful of yellow and light blue tiles remain on the board. Pull the very last yellow block and light blue block into your empty slots. Watch the final groups of ants leave the nest hole. They will target the last scattered pixels across the top of the board. Once the ants consume the final tile the picture will vanish entirely. The remaining ants will scurry off the board and you will achieve victory. Your careful management of the waiting slots and the connected boxes is what got you through this dense puzzle.

Final Thought

Level 376 tests your patience with those massive central obstacles and your timing with the connected blocks. Taking the time to ensure every color has a clear path before pulling a block is the real secret to winning here.
