Colony Flow Level 454 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 454

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 454. I am Liam Stone and I am here to walk you through this exact board. You are looking at a massive burger design with a cute animal face right in the middle. I played this level myself to figure out the best way through the tricky locks and connected boxes hiding in the tray. This board requires careful timing to keep your waiting slots clear while you dismantle the thick layers of the picture.

Colony Flow Level 454 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board presents a large piece of pixel art shaped like a burger. The entire background is made of white food tiles. The burger itself features a thick black outline that separates the different ingredients. You have a huge orange top bun, a green lettuce layer, cyan and white eyes, pink cheeks, a red tomato layer, and a yellow bottom bun. The bottom center of the board is totally blocked by a hungry door. This door displays a requirement of 60 when you start the level. Looking at your tray at the bottom of the screen, you will find white and black blocks holding large numbers like 40 and 35. You will also deal with connected boxes that force you to pull two colors at once. The tray contains lock and key blocks along with hidden boxes marked with question marks.

What It Takes to Clear Level 454 Board

To clear this board you must feed every single food tile to your ant colony. You pull numbered colored blocks from the tray into the five waiting slots at the bottom of the screen. The number on the block tells you how many food tiles the ants will consume. You must match the block color to an open path on the picture. The core challenge is managing your waiting slots at all times. If you pull five blocks and none of them have an open path to matching food tiles, the slots jam and you lose the game instantly. You win by carefully peeling away the outer white background and the black outline to open up the inner layers. This steady process feeds the hungry door requirement. Once the door opens, you clear the dense center and finish the remaining edge tiles to beat the level.

Colony Flow Level 454 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Pull the starting white blocks to clear the outer background grid.

You begin with several white blocks in your tray holding high numbers like 40 and 35. Pull the first white block with 40 to send your colony marching toward the large white background grid surrounding the burger. The outer background provides plenty of open paths on all sides. This ensures your ants get to work right away and keeps your waiting slots completely empty. Let the ants spread out along the top and the left side of the picture to open up access to the dark edges of the burger itself.

Step 2: Break into the heavy black outline of the burger.

Once the white tiles begin to vanish you expose the thick black outline of the design. Pull a black block with 40 from the top row of your tray. The black outline weaves through the entire picture and covers a large portion of the board. Giving the ants access to this dark outline creates a massive active path. Keeping this black block moving prevents any traffic jams in your waiting area while the ants chew through the thick exterior walls.

Step 3: Reduce the hungry door requirement by feeding the colony.

The hungry door at the bottom center starts with a requirement of 60. Pulling the initial white and black blocks helps bring this number down significantly. You will soon see the hungry door drop down to 25. Continue feeding the ants with another white block with 15 and a black block with 12 from your tray. This steady flow of ants eats away the outer edges and satisfies the hungry door conditions without clogging up your limited tray slots.

Step 4: Manage the connected cyan and black blocks.

Your tray will soon reveal a cyan block with 20 physically connected to a black block. When you pull the cyan block the black block comes with it and takes up an extra slot in your waiting area immediately. You must make sure both of these colors have open paths on the board before you make this move. The cyan tiles make up the bright details in the eyes of the character face. Pull this connected pair now. The ants will flood the cyan eye tiles and continue chewing through the remaining black outline pieces scattered around the buns.

Step 5: Unlock the yellow and cyan lock blocks.

You will notice a yellow lock block and a cyan lock block sitting in your tray. You cannot use these locked blocks until you collect the corresponding keys by playing matching colors first. Clear the standard cyan blocks and yellow blocks available in your tray to gather the keys. This collects the hidden keys and breaks the locks instantly. Unlocking these specific blocks early gives you more options and prevents your tray from stalling out when you desperately need a yellow or cyan block to clear a path.

Step 6: Consume the massive top and bottom buns.

The burger buns use a large number of orange and yellow tiles. Pull an orange block with 42 and a yellow block with 20 to target these areas. The ants will march toward the thick orange sections at the very top and the yellow sections near the bottom of the burger. The buns span the entire width of the picture and offer a massive surface area. This wide area means the ants consume the tiles rapidly and your waiting slots will clear out fast.

Step 7: Reveal the hidden boxes in the bottom row.

The bottom row of your tray contains several hidden boxes marked with a question mark. These boxes conceal their true color until they shift into an active position at the front of the tray. Pull the red block with 25 and the light orange blocks to shift the tray forward. Doing this reveals the hidden colors underneath the question marks. You will uncover pink blocks and green blocks. Knowing these exact colors allows you to plan your next moves for the middle layers of the burger.

Step 8: Clear the pink and purple face details.

The face in the middle of the burger features pink cheeks and small purple details. Pull the newly revealed pink block with 27 and the purple block from the bottom row. The ants will easily find their way to these small clusters of tiles in the center of the board. Keep a close eye on your waiting slots during this phase. Since these face details are much smaller the blocks take a bit longer to count all the way down to zero. Wait for them to clear completely before pulling another massive number.

Step 9: Open the hungry door completely.

As your ants finish clearing the buns and the tiny face details the hungry door requirement finally reaches zero. The door vanishes entirely and opens up the very bottom center of the board. This action reveals a dense cluster of red tiles, green tiles, and yellow tiles that were previously completely blocked from your ants. Opening this hungry door is a major milestone for this level and sets you up for the final push.

Step 10: Clear the inner tomato and lettuce layers.

With the hungry door permanently gone you have full access to the hidden tomato and lettuce layers in the middle. Pull the red block with 25 and the green block with 34. The red ants and green ants will rush straight into the newly opened cavity at the bottom center. These food tiles are tightly packed together in a solid block. The ants will swarm the area and rip through the required numbers rapidly. Your tray will remain perfectly safe from any jams as they feast on the center.

Step 11: Clean up the final white border fragments.

The center of the board is now entirely clean and the burger is gone. The only tiles remaining are a few scattered white pieces around the very outer edges and tiny fragments of the black outline. Pull your remaining white blocks with numbers like 9, 11, and 13. Pull the final black block holding a single point. The ants will quickly clean up these loose edges and completely empty the board to secure your victory.

Final Thought

Level 454 demands careful attention to the connected blocks and the heavy hungry door blocking your path. You win by keeping the outer background paths open while slowly working your way into the dense center layers.
