Colony Flow Level 556 throws you straight into a vibrant pixel art puzzle featuring a famous rainbow space cat. You step into a board completely dominated by a massive purple background and a daunting obstacle on the left side. You need to manage your tray slots carefully while chipping away at a huge chunk of chocolate that blocks the entire left side of the rainbow tail. The true key to winning is balancing your moves so the hungry ants always have a clear path to chew through both the solid background and the sweet obstacle blocking the way.
Colony Flow Level 556 Overview
What You Are Working With
The main picture features a pink cat body trailing a brightly colored rainbow tail across a solid purple background. A massive brown chocolate block sits directly on the left side of the board and completely covers the beginning of the tail. This chocolate obstacle displays a massive number three hundred on it indicating exactly how much effort your ants need to break it down. You also have connected boxes in your tray that move together as a single unit which require multiple open slots to use. Your tray is packed tightly with purple blocks along with bright cyan pink green orange and red blocks for the cat and tail details. The purple blocks hold very large numbers like forty five and thirty because there is a tremendous amount of purple background pixels to clear before you finish.
What It Takes to Clear Level 556 Board
You win the level when your ants eat every last pixel of the space cat picture and return to the nest hole. You must actively break down the giant chocolate block early so your colony can reach the rainbow tail hidden underneath its thick bulk. You keep your five waiting slots flowing smoothly by matching the right block colors to the completely open paths on the board. You must never fill all five waiting slots without an active open path or you will lose the level instantly. The purple background firmly surrounds the entire central figure so you have to clear the bottom sections first to give your other colors a viable way in. Managing the space effectively is the only way to beat this board.
Colony Flow Level 556 Step by Step Solution
Step 1: Flood the board with purple ants to push back the background and damage the chocolate
Load your waiting slots entirely with the purple blocks from the top layers of your tray. You will see a thirty a twenty and a forty five all colored purple waiting for you in the front row. The entire outer edge of the pixel art is solid purple and this gives your ants a massive open path right from the very first second of the level. If you try to pull a pink or red block right now those ants will have absolutely nowhere to go and they will jam your tray instantly. As the purple ants swarm out of the nest hole they fan out left and right to eat the bottom rows of the purple background. These eager ants also chew directly into the giant chocolate block on the left side of the screen as they clear the adjacent pixels. You will literally watch the massive health number on the chocolate drop rapidly from three hundred down to two hundred forty six in a matter of seconds. Keeping all five waiting slots completely filled with purple ensures your colony never hits a dead end during this important opening phase.
Step 2: Bring in cyan and pink blocks once the bottom edge opens up to start the tail
Pull a cyan block carrying the number twenty three and a pink block holding forty into your waiting slots once the purple ants clear enough space at the bottom of the picture. The cyan ants will target the bottom blue stripe of the rainbow tail while the pink ants start chewing on the bottom edge of the cute cat figure. You still need to keep an active purple block in the mix to continue dropping the chocolate health down past fifty five. Add a green block and a red block to the empty waiting slots to prepare for the next internal layers of the rainbow and the top of the cat. The cyan ants keep the bottom horizontal path flowing perfectly so your waiting slots do not back up. The pink ants also have a wide surface area to work with across the belly of the cat so their tray block will count down quickly and free up another waiting slot for your next move.
Step 3: Keep the purple flowing to finally destroy the chocolate barrier completely
Feed another heavy purple block into the center waiting slot to keep the constant pressure on the chocolate obstacle. The chocolate number will dwindle down to exactly two right before the thick brown block shatters completely and vanishes from the board. Your cyan and pink ants are still working steadily through their designated paths on the lower tail and the cat body while this destruction happens. With the chocolate completely gone the hidden left sections of the rainbow tail are finally exposed to the open air. You can now safely queue up the colors needed for the upper tail stripes without worrying about blocked paths ruining your entire run. The board feels much more open now and you have plenty of safe moves available to keep the ants moving without any risk of jamming.
Step 4: Pull the connected green and red boxes into your waiting slots to clear the upper details
Tap the linked green and red blocks from your tray to bring them into the waiting area as a single connected pair. You will notice a thick line connecting these two blocks in your tray indicating they move together. The game strictly forces you to pull these connected boxes at the exact same time so you must make sure you have at least two open waiting slots before you tap them. You will see the green ants rush up to finish off the green stripe of the tail while the red ants attack the top red stripe and the small red details on the cat face. At this exact point the pink ants are rapidly finishing the main body of the space cat. The central area of the board is now wide open and the risk of dead ending your paths is incredibly low. You just need to ensure you do not pull colors that are still buried under the remaining purple edges.
Step 5: Deploy orange and yellow blocks to finish the center of the rainbow tail
Select the orange and yellow blocks from the tray to feed your colony into the absolute middle of the rainbow. The orange ants will stream up to clear their specific stripe followed very quickly by the yellow ants attacking the layer right beneath it. You also need to keep pulling purple blocks into the remaining empty slots because the entire top half of the board is still completely covered in the purple background. The ants now have to walk much further from the nest hole to reach their food so the numbers on the waiting blocks will count down a little slower than before. The ants will wrap all the way around the cleared central space to reach the upper purple pixels on the outer edge. Keep a steady mix of the final rainbow colors and purple blocks so the stream of ants never stops moving out of the nest hole.
Step 6: Flood the waiting slots with your final purple blocks to clear the remaining background
Move all your remaining purple blocks into the waiting slots to consume the final top edges of the background. The entire center of the pixel art picture is completely empty now leaving only a thick purple frame at the very top. Your purple ants will march in long continuous lines around the massive blank space to reach the final remaining pixels at the upper boundary of the screen. You have four active purple blocks running at the exact same time and this single action empties your bottom tray completely. You do not need to worry about jamming the waiting slots anymore because the purple path spans the entire top width of the board giving every single ant a place to go. The level ends in victory as soon as the last purple pixel disappears into the nest hole and the board clears out entirely.
Final Thought
This level thoroughly tests your ability to manage a massive blocking obstacle while keeping your colorful paths moving smoothly toward the end goal. You successfully conquered the giant chocolate block without letting the massive health number intimidate you. You also fed your colony a very colorful space cat meal without ever jamming your wait slots.
