Colony Flow Level 470 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 470

Colony Flow Level 470 presents a massive pixel art picture of a gaming character wearing a headset. You face an enormous solid dark purple background that completely surrounds the central figure. The main challenge is managing your five waiting slots while chewing through hundreds of exterior tiles to reach the colorful details inside.

Colony Flow Level 470 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board features a central character made of white skin tone green and light blue tiles. A solid wall of dark purple tiles surrounds this figure acting as a heavy barrier. The bottom tray holds a mix of single blocks and connected blocks. You will see connected dark purple blocks that require two open slots to move up. The board also features a large green hidden box sitting near the bottom right of the character. This box holds a count of 30 and blocks the tiles around it until you give it a clear path.

What It Takes to Clear Level 470 Board

You win by clearing every single tile from the picture without trapping yourself in the bottom tray. You must feed the ants a steady diet of dark purple blocks to break down the massive background first. Opening the outer edges allows the ants to reach the inner white and skin tone tiles. You then match green blocks to the hidden box to remove it from the board. The level ends when the final small details disappear and the ants return to their nest.

Colony Flow Level 470 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: pull the connected dark purple blocks to attack the outer background.

The level begins with an overwhelming 500 dark purple tiles making up the background. Look at your tray and pull the connected dark purple blocks up into your waiting slots. These connected blocks carry a count of 40 each and take up two spaces in your tray. You also need to pull the white block with a count of 43 to get it out of the way for future moves. The ants will immediately stream out of the nest hole and swarm the outer edges of the dark purple background. This move establishes a wide open path and ensures your waiting slots stay active right from the start.

Step 2: feed more dark purple blocks into the slots as the background count drops.

As the ants consume the exterior the background count rapidly drops from 500 down to the low 300s. Your connected dark purple blocks will empty out and disappear. You must quickly replace them by pulling single dark purple blocks from the bottom row of your tray. Keep your eyes on the five waiting slots and never fill the last slot with a color the ants cannot reach. Pull up a light blue block with a count of 5 just to keep your tray organized but make sure you leave plenty of room for the dark purple blocks to do their work. The ants will continue chewing away the left and right sides of the image.

Step 3: bring up white blocks to start clearing the clothing and arms.

Once the background count falls below 200 the ants break through to the inner parts of the picture. The character has white tiles making up a shirt and arms. Pull up the white blocks to give the ants a new target. The swarm will split their attention between the remaining dark purple edges and the newly exposed white tiles. You want to maintain a steady flow of both colors so your waiting slots constantly empty out. This dual approach prevents the tray from jamming and opens up multiple paths across the lower half of the board.

Step 4: clear the lower sections to reveal the skin tone tiles and the hidden box.

With the outer walls mostly gone the ants can easily reach the central face and body. Pull the skin tone block with a count of 30 into your waiting slots. The ants will rush up the middle to clear the hands and face of the character. This action exposes the green hidden box sitting near the bottom right. The box starts with a count of 30 and needs green blocks to clear. Do not pull a green block until the ants have completely cleared the tiles touching the box. Waiting ensures the green blocks have an immediate path and do not get stuck sitting in your tray.

Step 5: pull the green blocks to dismantle the hidden box and the headset.

Now that the green hidden box has an open path you can safely pull the green block with a count of 32 from your tray. The ants will attack the box and the green sections of the gaming headset simultaneously. The count on the box will drop rapidly as the swarm consumes it. During this heavy action pull another dark purple block to clean up the final pieces of the background near the top left. Keeping a mix of colors in your waiting slots guarantees that every ant leaving the nest finds a target immediately.

Step 6: pull the red and light blue blocks to finish the small details.

Only a few scattered details remain on the board at this point. Pull the red block with a count of 9 and the light blue block with a count of 13. The ants will rush to the top of the character to eat the remaining pieces of the headset and the small red details on the clothing. The green hidden box count will drop down to single digits before disappearing entirely. You must carefully watch the board to ensure you do not pull a color that is buried behind another tile. Always verify the target color is completely exposed before moving its matching block into your limited slot space.

Step 7: let the final ants clear the board and swarm the edges.

You have successfully fed all the required colors and your waiting slots are clear of any jams. Pull the final dark purple blocks to eliminate the last few tiles sitting at the very top of the board. The ants will finish chewing through the remaining pixels and then swarm the empty border of the screen to celebrate your victory. You managed the heavy background perfectly and never allowed the connected blocks to ruin your tray space.

Final Thought

Level 470 tests your patience and your ability to manage tray space during a massive single color flood. You win by keeping your slots moving and timing the release of the connected blocks perfectly.
