Colony Flow Level 562 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 562

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 562 where things get a little chaotic right from the start. You face a funny pixel art picture of a red monster sitting in flames with the words I M OK floating above its head. The picture makes me laugh every time I see it because it perfectly captures that feeling when everything is going wrong but you pretend it is fine. I played through this level and found the two giant wooden boxes on the board to be the main hurdle you have to overcome. Let me walk you through exactly how to clear this board without getting stuck.

Colony Flow Level 562 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board shows a large solid blue background surrounding a red monster. Orange and yellow fire tiles surround the character at the bottom. Red tiles form the letters at the top and there are a few yellow stars scattered in the blue sky. Two huge wooden boxes sit in the bottom left and bottom right corners of the picture. Both boxes display a massive 858 count on them. Your tray at the bottom of the screen is full of high numbered blocks waiting to be used. You will see large blue blocks and several connected boxes linked together in pairs. You have exactly five empty waiting slots to hold the blocks you pull from the tray.

What It Takes to Clear Level 562 Board

Clearing this board requires you to dismantle those two massive 858 boxes first. You cannot reach the lower parts of the picture freely until those boxes break down and get out of the way. You must feed blue blocks to the ants so they can eat the outer blue background. This outer path opens up routes to the fire and the monster in the center. Every move you make must be carefully planned to keep at least one color actively flowing. If you pull a block but there are no matching tiles exposed on the board that block just sits in your slot. Do this enough times to fill all five waiting slots and the game completely stops. You lose the level immediately if your slots jam up with no open paths. You win by managing your tray carefully and keeping the ants moving continuously until every pixel is gone.

Colony Flow Level 562 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Start by attacking the outer blue border to create space

The very beginning of the level requires you to open up the perimeter of the board. The ants stream out of the nest hole at the bottom but they need a clear wide path to spread out and do their jobs. Grab the large blue blocks from your tray and send them up to the waiting slots. You will see blue blocks with numbers like 80 and 55 early on in the tray. The ants will take these colors and march directly up the far left and far right sides of the board. They start eating away the blue pixel tiles on the edges. Doing this creates a massive vertical path for future colors. Make sure you do not pull orange or yellow blocks into your slots until the blue path physically reaches the fire tiles. Keep your waiting slots mostly blue so the ants never stop working and your board never jams.

Step 2: Chip away at the massive wooden boxes on the bottom corners

Those two large boxes marked 858 are intimidating but they go down steadily if you keep the pressure on them. The game requires you to send thousands of ants into the corners to carve these numbers down to zero. As the ants consume the blue background and the outer orange fire tiles you will notice the numbers on the large boxes dropping fast. The 858 count will fall into the five hundreds and then eventually into the two hundreds. Feed orange and yellow blocks into the waiting area once the ants reach the flames around the monster. This keeps multiple streams of ants attacking the lower corners. Your goal is to surround both of the massive boxes with active ants. Never let the tray fill up with colors that cannot reach the edge of a box.

Step 3: Deploy connected boxes carefully to avoid filling your slots

Your tray holds several connected boxes that pull together when you tap them. You will see connected yellow and orange blocks as well as connected red blocks. Pulling a connected pair takes up two of your five precious waiting slots instantly. This is an extremely dangerous move if your board is tight and your paths are limited. Only pull a connected pair when you are absolutely sure both colors have a wide open path on the board. For example you should wait until you have exposed both the red monster tiles and the orange fire tiles before pulling a red and orange connected pair. The ants will split up and drain both blocks simultaneously. This clears the waiting slots quickly and keeps you completely safe from losing the level.

Step 4: Finish off the huge boxes to reveal the lower section

Keep pushing blue and orange ants into the corners until the numbers on the massive wooden boxes drop below one hundred. You will see them hit 67 and then finally vanish from the board. Breaking these boxes is a major relief and completely changes the flow of the level. The moment they disappear the entire lower section of the monster and the bottom flames become completely accessible. You now have a very wide base to work from which speeds up everything. This is the perfect time to start pulling your large red blocks. Send them up to the waiting slots because the monster provides a huge surface area for the red ants to consume. The wider the path becomes the faster the big numbers in your slots drop to zero.

Step 5: Focus on the red tiles making up the monster and the text

With the bottom fully open you can launch a massive assault on the red sections of the picture. The red monster in the middle and the red letters at the top require a massive amount of ants to clear. Pull your heavy red blocks into the slots. You will also see blue blocks in the hundreds sitting in your tray. Pull a blue block alongside a red block so the ants can work on the top blue background while simultaneously eating the red monster. The ants will flood the center of the board and the letters spelling I M OK will slowly vanish piece by piece. Always leave one waiting slot empty just in case you need to pull a small block to open a brand new color path.

Step 6: Clear the top blue section containing the remaining background

The monster will eventually disappear leaving mostly blue tiles at the very top of the board in a wide triangle shape. Some scattered red tiles from the text might remain trapped inside this blue section. Pull your remaining blue blocks into the waiting area to finish the background. You might see a blue 129 and a blue 143 in your tray near the end. Send them up and watch the ants travel all the way up the empty center to swarm the top blue section. If you pull a connected red and blue block here it will work perfectly. The ants will eat the blue tiles to expose the remaining red text tiles and then immediately transition to eating the red. This continuous chain reaction is exactly what you want to keep the board moving.

Step 7: Clean up the scattered fire and remaining edge pieces

The final phase of the board leaves you with small scattered chunks of yellow and orange fire near the bottom. You will also have a few lingering blue tiles hanging out at the top edges of the screen. Look at your tray and find the exact colors you need to finish the job. You will have smaller numbered blocks like a yellow 22 or an orange 47 remaining. Pull these final blocks into your waiting slots with careful precision. The board is completely open now so the ants will zip directly to their targets without any delay. Just be careful not to pull a massive blue block if there are only a few blue tiles left on the screen. You do not want a large block stuck in your slot right at the finish line. Feed the exact colors required and watch the ants eat the last pieces of pixel art.

Final Thought

Clearing this board feels fantastic once those huge wooden boxes are finally out of the way. The trick is always managing your connected boxes so your slots never jam up while you wait for a path to open. If you find yourself getting stuck or if any specific move feels hard to picture in your head please watch the video above this article. Seeing the ants clear those massive corner boxes in motion makes the entire strategy very easy to understand and apply to your own game.
