Colony Flow Level 387 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 387

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 387. This stage presents a massive pixel picture with a tricky central wooden box that hides a large portion of the board. You need to manage a crowded tray of blocks while carefully peeling away the outer background colors so your ants can reach the main character. I will walk you through exactly how I clear this board without letting the waiting slots jam up.

Colony Flow Level 387 Overview

What You Are Working With

You start with a large pixel picture of a yellow duck character set against a split background of red and green tiles. The character features bright yellow and orange body sections along with a peach colored beak and white and black eyes. A massive wooden box sits right in the middle of the head. This box starts with a very high number count and completely blocks the tiles underneath it. Down in your tray you have a dense stack of numbered blocks including yellow, green, red, orange, black, white, and peach. The board only has one nest hole at the bottom center where your ants emerge. You also have five empty waiting slots above your block tray. These slots are your biggest hazard. If you pull too many blocks that the ants cannot reach yet, the slots will fill up and end your run.

What It Takes to Clear Level 387 Board

To beat this stage you must systematically strip away the accessible tiles from the outside in. The red and green background pieces are completely exposed to the nest hole at the start. Clearing those outer sections gives your ants the room they need to wrap around the main shape and reach the black outline tiles. Every single tile your colony eats will lower the count on that big central wooden box. You win by feeding the right colors to the waiting slots in the correct order to keep at least one active path open at all times. Once the box count hits zero it vanishes and exposes the hidden top of the head. From there you just clean up the final exposed pieces to completely empty the board.

Colony Flow Level 387 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Clear the red and green background pieces first

The very first thing you need to do is remove the solid blocks of red and green that frame the character. Your ants start at the bottom center hole and have direct access to the bottom edges of the red and green sections. Pull the first green block and the first red block up into your waiting slots. The colony will instantly split up and march outward toward the left and right sides of the board to eat those colors. As the ants consume the tiles you will see the large number on the central box begin to drop rapidly. Do not pull any yellow or orange blocks just yet. You want the background completely gone so the ants have a clear path to wrap around the entire outside of the duck shape. Wait for the initial red and green blocks to tick down and vanish from your slots. This keeps your slots perfectly clear for the next phase.

Step 2: Open the bottom orange and yellow body sections

Once the background is mostly gone your ants will be right up against the bottom of the character. The lower half of the duck is made of large clusters of orange and yellow tiles. Pull the first large orange block and the large yellow block into your slots. The ants will stream out of the hole and start chewing through the thick orange sections on the lower right and the yellow sections on the lower left. Watch the numbers on your waiting blocks decrease as the tiles disappear from the picture. The box counter in the center will continue to plummet as these big solid sections are removed. Make sure you let the orange and yellow blocks finish their counts before you pull anything else. Pulling a black or white block right now would trap it in a slot because the ants cannot reach the eyes or the outline yet.

Step 3: Attack the black outline to unlock the inner details

With the lower body mostly cleared out you will see the black outline of the character become fully exposed. The black tiles snake all the way around the outside of the shape and separate the different color zones. Pull the first large black block into your waiting area. You will see a long line of ants march around the perimeter of the board to dismantle the black border. Breaking this outline opens a major bottleneck for this level. Removing the black tiles creates multiple new entry points for your ants to reach the peach colored beak and the white sections of the eyes. Keep a close watch on your slots and only pull the next block when you are absolutely sure the ants have a clear lane to reach that specific color.

Step 4: Work on the peach colored beak and face details

Now that the black border is broken your colony can finally get into the center of the face. The duck has a large peach colored beak that sits just below the wooden box. You will see several peach blocks waiting in your tray. Pull them up into your slots one at a time. The ants will flood into the middle area and rapidly eat away the beak. At the same time you can pull a white block since the eye sections are now exposed. Managing your slots here requires a bit of patience. You might have a few leftover green or orange blocks sitting in your tray from the earlier layers. You can pull a small green or orange block alongside the peach blocks as long as you can clearly see those leftover colored tiles on the board. The goal is to keep the ants moving without ever letting all five slots fill up with stuck colors.

Step 5: Keep the pressure on the orange tiles to break the central box

As you finish off the beak the counter on the big central box will drop down into the double digits. You need to keep feeding the ants to force that number all the way to zero. There is a large chunk of orange tiles remaining on the right side of the face and neck. Pull the next heavy orange block from your tray. The colony will focus heavily on that right side and chew through the thick orange section. You will see the counter on the box tick down to twenty two and then finally break. When the box shatters it completely disappears from the screen. This reveals the hidden top half of the duck head which includes more yellow tiles along with some red and white details. Opening this hidden section is exactly what you need to progress to the final cleanup.

Step 6: Clear the newly revealed top section of the head

With the central box out of the way your ants have full access to the top of the board. The newly exposed area features a large patch of yellow bordered by red and some scattered black outline pieces. Pull your remaining yellow blocks and any available red blocks into your slots. The ants will march straight up the middle of the board and spread out across the top section. Since the path is wide open you do not have to worry about the ants getting stuck. Just be mindful of the block numbers. If you pull a yellow block with a high number and there are only a few yellow tiles left the block will sit in your slot waiting for more yellow tiles to appear. In this specific stage all the remaining yellow tiles are right there on top so the block will clear out smoothly.

Step 7: Clean up the final scattered pieces to finish the board

You are now down to the very end of the puzzle. The board will look very empty with just a few scattered orange red white and black tiles remaining along the edges and near the top. Look at your tray and pull the exact blocks that match those remaining pieces. You will likely pull a final orange block a small white block and your last black block into the remaining slots. Watch the remaining ants scramble to the far corners of the board to collect these final pieces. Once the last tile is consumed the final blocks in your waiting area will drop to zero and vanish. The board will be completely clear and you will win the level.

Final Thought

Taking your time and reading the board correctly is the real secret to getting past this stage. The massive hidden section under the wooden box can easily cause a slot jam if you try to pull colors too early. Always focus on clearing the exposed outer layers first and let the board naturally open up for your ants.

Seeing the exact timing of when to pull the black and peach blocks makes a huge difference.
