Colony Flow Level 403 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 403

Colony Flow Level 403 brings you a bright and relaxing summer beach scene that quickly turns into a complex logistical puzzle. You have many overlapping colors packed tightly together and a highly restrictive tray of blocks to manage. I will show you exactly how to peel back these colorful layers without jamming your waiting slots.

Colony Flow Level 403 Overview

What You Are Working With

The pixel art displays a beautiful sunny day at the beach. A person wearing a pink swimsuit sits right in the middle on a long white lounge chair. They have dark red hair. A bright yellow sun shines in the top left corner of the sky. A chunky yellow pineapple topped with green leaves sits on the right side next to the chair. The white lounge chair and the pineapple rest on a flat brown wooden deck spanning the entire bottom edge. Dark blue water creates an ocean horizon right behind the white chair. Light blue sky fills the entire top half and wraps all the way around the outside edge to form a border.

The tray at the bottom holds all your numbered blocks stacked in overlapping columns. You see blocks for every color in the picture. You have light blue blocks for the sky and dark blue blocks for the water. You have yellow blocks for the sun and pineapple alongside white blocks for the clouds and chair. You also have pink blocks for the swimsuit, dark red blocks for the hair, green blocks for the leaves, and brown blocks for the wooden deck. You can only pull a block if it sits fully exposed on the top layer of the tray.

What It Takes to Clear Level 403 Board

To beat this stage you must direct your ant colony to eat every single pixel of the beach scene. You do this by tapping the colored blocks in your tray to pull them up into your five waiting slots. The numbers on the blocks drop as your ants spawn from the dark nest hole and run to matching colored tiles on the board.

Your main obstacle is the limited pathing. The ants only walk on open empty spaces. If you pull a color block that sits trapped behind other colors the ants cannot reach it. That block will sit frozen in your waiting slot and jam your progress. You lose the level instantly if all five waiting slots fill up with stuck blocks and no ants can clean the board. You must always work from the outside edge inward to keep a clear walking path open at all times.

Colony Flow Level 403 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the board by clearing the outer light blue sky.

The light blue sky forms a thick solid wall around the entire outside of the picture. You must pull the light blue block first to break this outer shell. Tap the large light blue block sitting on the top layer of your tray. Watch it slide up into your first waiting slot. The light blue ants surge out of the nest hole and run along the far left and right edges of the screen. They rapidly eat away the outer border. This single action exposes the dark blue water on the left side and opens up massive walking lanes for your colony. You can pull the dark blue block next. The dark blue ants join the rush and start chewing on the exposed ocean horizon. You still have three empty slots left. Keep them empty for now. You want these huge outer layers to clear out completely before you commit to any interior colors.

Step 2: Target the yellow sun and the yellow pineapple.

With the light blue border gone the yellow sun in the top left corner is completely exposed. The yellow pineapple on the right side is also wide open on its outer edge. Pull the yellow block from your tray. The yellow ants burst from the nest and split into two distinct groups. One group heads all the way up the left wall to eat the sun. The second group runs up the right wall to chew on the pineapple. This split pathing is highly efficient and keeps your board moving fast. The ants never bump into each other. The yellow block number drops steadily and the block soon vanishes from your waiting slot. You successfully kept a continuous flow and avoided dead ending your progress.

Step 3: Attack the white clouds and the white lounge chair.

You have multiple white blocks stacked in your tray. The white pixels form fluffy clouds near the top and the long lounge chair right in the middle. The light blue ants already cleared enough sky to expose the clouds completely. The yellow ants cleared enough of the pineapple to expose the right side of the white chair. Pull your available white blocks up into your empty slots. The white ants stream out in massive numbers. They run up the center of the board and fan out perfectly. Some climb high to eat the clouds while the rest spread across the bottom area to consume the chair base. You clear a huge amount of the board right here and finally expose the person sitting in the middle.

Step 4: Clear the pink character and start the brown deck.

The pink swimsuit heavily blocks the center of the board. The brown wooden deck anchors the whole bottom section right above the nest hole. Both colors are completely reachable now that the white chair is mostly gone. Pull the pink block into a waiting slot. Pull the brown block right next to it. The pink ants march straight up the middle and start eating the swimsuit pixels. The brown ants sweep out sideways across the lower floor and devour the thick wooden deck. This phase feels very satisfying as large solid chunks of color disappear rapidly. Your tray clears out and reveals new blocks hidden underneath. You finally gain access to the green block for the pineapple leaves and the dark red block for the character hair.

Step 5: Snatch up the green pineapple leaves.

The yellow body of the pineapple is completely gone by this point. The green leaves hover alone in the air on the right side. They are totally isolated and incredibly easy to reach. Tap the green block in your tray. The green ants run straight up the open right wall and eat the leaves in just a few seconds. The green block vanishes from your slot almost instantly. This quick action frees up valuable tray space and opens a waiting slot for your final push. Always look for these isolated color islands. They offer quick easy wins that keep your board momentum going strong and prevent your slots from clogging.

Step 6: Mop up the remaining light blue sky and dark blue water.

The center of the board still holds large chunks of light blue sky and dark blue water right behind where the character sits. The outer borders are completely gone so the ants have a direct open path to these remaining background pieces. Pull the last light blue and dark blue blocks from your tray. The ants pour out and fill the empty space left by the clouds and the sun. They consume the remaining background pixels extremely fast because the walking distance is much shorter now. You are very close to the end of the level. You just need to manage the final few pieces without making a silly mistake and jamming your slots at the last second.

Step 7: Finish the dark red hair and the final brown deck tiles.

Look closely at your board. Only the dark red hair in the very middle and a few brown wooden deck tiles at the bottom remain. A couple of straggling yellow sun pixels might linger in the top corner depending on exactly how your ants pathed earlier. Pull the dark red block up into a slot. Pull the remaining brown blocks and the last yellow block. The dark red ants rush the center and eat the hair. The brown ants eat the floor tiles right around the nest hole opening. The yellow ants sprint to the top left to clear the final piece of the sun. The picture vanishes completely and the victory screen appears. You cleared the board perfectly by always working from the outside in.

Final Thought

Level 403 demands strict tray discipline and a sharp eye for clear walking paths. If you pull inner colors too early you will jam your slots and lose your run. Always focus on clearing the outer shell of the sky and the water before you touch the center pieces. If any of these maneuvers sound confusing or hard to follow in text format I highly encourage you to watch the video above this article. Seeing the ants path across the screen will help you replicate the exact timing needed to secure your win.
