Colony Flow Level 57 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 57

Colony Flow Level 57 drops you into a board with four bright spiral patterns. You have to feed your ant colony by matching numbered blocks to these colored food tiles while managing locked sections in your tray. I play every level myself and found the exact path to beat this one without jamming the waiting slots. Follow my moves to clear the board and claim your win.

Colony Flow Level 57 Overview

What You Are Working With

The screen displays four separate spiral shapes made of colored pixel art tiles. Each spiral wraps around a central space that holds a specific colored key. The top left spiral features yellow cyan purple and pink layers wrapping around an orange key. The top right spiral contains cyan white purple and pink layers surrounding a blue key. Down below the bottom left spiral uses white pink cyan and yellow layers to protect a red key. The bottom right spiral is built from pink yellow blue and white layers with a green key in the middle. At the bottom of your screen your tray holds numbered color blocks. Some of these blocks are covered by colored padlocks. You must collect the matching keys from the board to access those locked blocks. You also have five empty waiting slots above the tray to hold your active blocks.

What It Takes to Clear Level 57 Board

Clearing this level requires a strict order of operations because of the lock and key system. You cannot clear the top spirals first because you do not have the right blocks available in your tray. You must start with the bottom spirals and work your way inward to collect the red and green keys. Those keys will unlock new blocks in your tray. You then use those new blocks to dismantle the top spirals and collect the orange and blue keys. You win the level when all tiles are eaten and the ants leave the board. You lose if you fill all five waiting slots with blocks that have no open path to their matching colors. Every single move must keep at least one active path open.

Colony Flow Level 57 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Clear the outer layers of the two bottom spirals.

When the level begins you only have access to white and pink blocks in the top row of your tray. Look at the bottom left spiral which has an outer layer of white food tiles. Look at the bottom right spiral which has an outer layer of pink food tiles. Pull a white block from your tray and drop it into a waiting slot to send your ants to the bottom left spiral. Pull a pink block to send another stream of ants to the bottom right spiral. The numbers on your blocks will count down as the ants consume the matching colored tiles. The white and pink blocks will fully clear those outer layers and open up paths to the colors inside. You keep your waiting slots from jamming by making sure these first blocks have immediate access to their target colors before pulling anything else.

Step 2: Dig into the second layers of the bottom spirals.

With the white and pink outer edges gone you now expose the next layer of food tiles in both bottom sections. The bottom left spiral now shows a clear path to pink tiles. The bottom right spiral now opens up to yellow tiles. Tap a pink block from your tray to send ants into the bottom left section. Tap a yellow block to direct ants into the bottom right section. The ants will march in and start eating away at these middle layers. Watch the numbers on your blocks drop as the food disappears from the board. You might need to pull a second block if the first one runs out of numbers before the layer is entirely gone. Always wait for a block to completely empty and vanish from the waiting slot before you pull another block of the exact same color. This patience keeps your board flowing safely.

Step 3: Break through to the red and green keys.

You are now very close to the center of the bottom spirals. The bottom left spiral exposes cyan tiles and the bottom right exposes blue tiles. Check your tray for cyan and blue blocks that do not have padlocks on them. Pull a cyan block into an empty waiting slot to clear the remaining food covering the red key. Pull a blue block to clear the food blocking the green key. As the ants finish eating these inner layers the red and green keys are finally freed from their traps. The game automatically collects them for you. You will see the red padlock and the green padlock disappear from the blocks in your lower tray. This action unlocks these new blocks and gives you the exact colors you need to start attacking the top half of the board.

Step 4: Send ants up to the top left and top right outer layers.

Now turn your full attention to the top half of the screen. The top left spiral is wrapped in a thick layer of yellow food tiles. The top right spiral is wrapped in a layer of cyan food tiles. Thanks to the keys you just collected you now have large yellow and cyan blocks available in your tray. Pull a yellow block into an empty waiting slot. The ants will march all the way up the left side of the board to start clearing that yellow layer. Next pull a cyan block to send a second line of ants up the right side of the board. Let both blocks count down until they are totally empty. You must keep a close eye on your five waiting slots during this long trip up the board. Do not tap any extra blocks until the yellow and cyan blocks finish their work and leave the slots completely empty.

Step 5: Eat through the middle layers of the top spirals.

The top left spiral now reveals a cyan layer underneath the yellow one. The top right spiral exposes a white layer underneath the cyan one. Tap a cyan block from your tray to continue feeding the ants on the left side of the screen. Tap a white block to keep the ants moving on the right side of the screen. The paths are quite long now so the ants will form a steady line traveling around the cleared bottom spaces to reach the top. Watch them devour these middle sections while the numbers on your cyan and white blocks steadily decrease. If a block runs out of numbers before the layer clears you just wait a moment. Verify that you have an open slot and then tap the next matching block from your tray to finish eating that specific color.

Step 6: Clear the purple sections to reach the final keys.

Both top spirals share a similar structure for their next inner layer. You will see purple food tiles blocking the path to the center on both the left and right sides. Look at your tray and locate the high capacity purple blocks. Tap a purple block and watch the ants divide their attention between the top left and top right spirals. The ants will eat the purple tiles on both sides at the exact same time. This dual pathing drains the numbers on your purple block very quickly. This fast clearing action creates plenty of safe room in your waiting slots. Once the purple tiles are completely gone you will see the final pink layers protecting the orange and blue keys.

Step 7: Collect the final keys and finish the board.

You are now on the final stretch of the puzzle. Tap a pink block from your tray to clear the remaining pink food tiles in the center of both top spirals. The ants will swarm the centers and free the orange key and the blue key. The game will collect them instantly and unlock the last remaining blocks sitting at the bottom of your tray. You will likely have a few leftover center tiles to clean up before you achieve victory. Pull whatever color matches those last few tiles on the screen. In most cases you just need one final yellow or white block to finish the job. The ants will eat the very last pieces of pixel art and march right off the screen. Your waiting slots remain clear and you officially win the level.

Final Thought

Colony Flow Level 57 tests your patience and your ability to plan moves ahead of time. By strictly working from the bottom to the top you ensure you always have the right keys for your locked tray blocks. Take your time and never crowd your waiting slots with colors that cannot move.
