Colony Flow Level 563 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 563

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 563. This puzzle drops you into a massive pixel art scene that looks like a dark spiky explosion sitting on a sandy ground. You need to guide your ants carefully to strip away the sky and the sand before you can dismantle the core shape. I play every level of this game and verify the best sequence of moves to keep your board moving smoothly. Read on for the complete solution to get you through without jamming your tray.

Colony Flow Level 563 Overview

What You Are Working With

You start the level facing a large pixel art image composed of several distinct sections. The top half consists of light blue sky tiles. The bottom half features beige ground tiles resembling sand. A dark purple and dark red spiky shape sits in the exact middle of the board. The center of this spiky shape holds a cluster of bright yellow tiles. The bottom right corner holds a brown Hungry Door with a blue circle demanding eight ants. Your tray at the bottom provides single numbered blocks alongside pairs of Connected Boxes that are physically linked together.

What It Takes to Clear Level 563 Board

You win the game by clearing every single pixel art tile from the screen. You lose if your five waiting slots fill up with blocks that have no clear path to their matching tiles. You must always prioritize opening open routes for your ants. You need to strip away the outer light blue and beige tiles first to expose the dark purple and dark red spikes. Opening the Hungry Door reveals hidden beige tiles you must clear to finish the puzzle. You must manage your tray carefully when pulling Connected Boxes because they instantly take up multiple slots.

Colony Flow Level 563 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Send ants to clear the outer sky and the sandy ground.

You start out facing a massive wall of light blue and beige tiles blocking the center. Look at your starting tray and tap the 40 light blue block. Tap the 35 beige block right after it. The light blue ants stream out of the nest hole and travel all the way up the far left and far right edges of the board. They begin eating away the outer boundaries of the sky. The beige ants take a much shorter trip. They move to the bottom left side of the screen and eat the sandy ground right next to the nest. This opens the physical paths your colony needs for later moves. Your five waiting slots remain completely safe right now because these outer tiles are fully exposed to the board edges.

Step 2: Peel back the next deep layers of the light blue sky.

Now that the extreme outer edges are clear you have direct access to the thicker parts of the sky. Bring up the 37 light blue block and the next 40 light blue block from your tray. The fresh wave of ants marches up the sides and floods into the top section of the board. They carve out massive chunks of the background. This move matters because it exposes the sharp points of the dark purple and dark red shape in the center. You must clear these background tiles early so your ants never hit a dead end later in the puzzle. The waiting slots empty out easily because the light blue ants find immediate paths to their matching target colors.

Step 3: Attack the highest exposed dark purple spikes.

The top sky is out of the way and the dark purple spikes are fully open to your ant colony. Pull up the 32 dark purple block and the 24 dark purple block. The purple ants run out of the nest and climb straight up to the highest points of the central shape. They consume the outer shell of the explosion design. This shrinks the massive central obstacle down to a much more manageable size. You should always target the highest exposed tiles first to keep the downward paths clear for future blocks. Your five slots remain perfectly empty because the ants never have to wait for a blocked route to open up.

Step 4: Continue excavating the left side of the sandy base.

The ground on the left side of the screen still holds a large pile of beige tiles. Tap the 13 beige block and the 30 beige block to continue clearing the bottom area. The ants chew through the sand and reveal the flat bottom edge of the central dark red shape. This clears away the clutter around the bottom hole and gives your future ants a straight shot into the middle of the board. Keep a close watch on your tray as you play these blocks. You want to ensure your five slots are completely empty before you trigger the next major mechanic in the bottom right corner.

Step 5: Unlock the Hungry Door sitting in the corner.

You must now unlock the Hungry Door sitting untouched in the bottom right space. Tap the blue 8 block in your tray. A bright blue beam connects the block directly to the door on the board. Eight blue ants sprint straight into the lock mechanism. You must feed the door exactly eight blue ants to open it. The door breaks open and vanishes completely. This action reveals a brand new square patch of hidden beige tiles underneath. You must clear these hidden tiles to complete the board. Triggering this door now prevents your waiting slots from jamming with sand blocks later in the game.

Step 6: Handle the bright yellow Connected Boxes carefully.

The center of the spiky shape features a cluster of bright yellow tiles. Your tray provides a yellow 4 block and a yellow 3 block that are permanently linked together as Connected Boxes. Tap them to bring them up. They immediately consume two of your five waiting slots. Connected Boxes are dangerous because they instantly limit your board space. Because you already cleared the surrounding purple and beige layers the yellow ants have a perfectly clear path to the core. They run inside and eat the yellow center. You clear them as a single group and they vanish from your tray.

Step 7: Clean up the newly revealed patch of ground tiles.

The empty space left behind by the Hungry Door is now full of beige tiles. Bring up the 32 beige block from your tray to clean up this specific section. The ants flood into the bottom right corner and clear out that entire hidden patch in one massive wave. This completely removes the sandy ground from the puzzle. You now have a totally open bottom board with absolutely nothing blocking the nest hole. This frees up your waiting slots completely so you have maximum flexibility for the final sequence.

Step 8: Tackle the dark red center with more Connected Boxes.

The main body of the spiky shape is entirely dark red. You have another pair of Connected Boxes in your tray featuring dark red blocks. Tap them to pull them into your waiting slots. They take up two spaces but immediately deploy a huge swarm of dark red ants. The ants march straight up the middle and consume the thick central body of the explosion shape. A small handful of dark purple pieces remain interspersed near the top edges. Use your 17 dark purple block to sweep those away. Your slots will briefly fill with these connected groups but the ants have a clear run to the center.

Step 9: Send your final waves to finish the puzzle.

Only a tiny cluster of light blue and dark purple tiles remains at the very top of the board. You have a 25 light blue block in your tray alongside a dark red block connected to a dark purple block. Tap the connected blocks first so the dark red and dark purple ants can clear the last spiky pieces. Then pull the 25 light blue block to send your final wave of ants straight up the middle. They travel all the way to the top and eat the final sky pieces. The board is fully cleared and your five waiting slots are completely empty. The ants return to the nest and you successfully beat the level.
