Colony Flow Level 589 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 589

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 589. This level features a great piece of pixel art showing a cow face right in the middle of the board. I play every level of this game myself and I know exactly how quickly things can go wrong if you pull the wrong colors. You have to feed your ant colony the exact matching colors to clear the picture, but this board throws some heavy obstacles at you right from the start. I will show you how to manage your tray and keep your waiting slots empty so you can clear the board without failing.

Colony Flow Level 589 Overview

What You Are Working With

The main picture is a pixel art cow on a solid blue background. The cow has a large white face, a pink snout, pink inner ears, light orange horns, and dark red eyes. This color layout tells you exactly which blocks you need to find in your tray.

The obstacles on this board are massive. You have two huge hungry doors sitting on the bottom left and bottom right corners. These doors cover the blue background tiles completely. Right in the bottom center of the board is a thick layer of chocolate covering hundreds of pink and white tiles. Your tray at the bottom of the screen is loaded with blue, pink, and white blocks. You will also find connected boxes chaining a light orange block to a dark red block. Finally, several hidden boxes sit in the lower layers of the tray waiting to reveal their true colors.

What It Takes to Clear Level 589 Board

To win this level you must clear every single tile from the picture. You start by attacking the two hungry doors because they demand hundreds of blue ants before they open. While the doors slowly tick down, you have to send white and pink ants to eat the cow face and push toward the chocolate barrier. You must clear the chocolate completely to reach the bottom half of the snout. Through all of this, your main goal is to never let your five waiting slots fill up. If you pull blocks that have no open path to the picture, they sit in the waiting slots. If all five slots fill and the ants cannot move, you lose the level instantly.

Colony Flow Level 589 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Send your first blue blocks to the hungry doors.

The two hungry doors require 307 blue ants each. This is a massive requirement and you must start feeding them immediately. Pull the blue blocks from the top layer of your tray into your waiting slots. The blue ants will stream out of the nest and march up the sides of the board to chip away at the hungry doors. Because these doors block so much of the outer board, breaking them is your absolute top priority. You always want to keep at least one blue block active in your slots to ensure a steady stream of ants hitting those doors.

Step 2: Bring out the pink blocks and handle the connected boxes.

While your blue ants work on the outer doors, you need to start clearing the center of the picture. Pull the exposed pink blocks to send ants toward the pink snout and the pink inner ears of the cow. Then you will face the connected boxes in your tray. You will see a light orange block chained directly to a dark red block. When you tap one, both blocks slide up into your waiting slots at the exact same time. This instantly consumes two of your five precious slots. You must ensure the cow horns and the cow eyes are exposed and ready to be eaten before you pull this connected pair.

Step 3: Reveal the hidden boxes and target the white face tiles.

As you clear the first layer of blocks from your tray, the hidden boxes underneath will finally activate. These grey boxes drop their question marks and turn into usable white blocks and additional blue blocks. The white blocks are essential for clearing the broad forehead of the cow. Tap these newly revealed white blocks to bring them into your waiting area. The white ants will flood the upper half of the board and consume a huge section of the picture. This clears up plenty of space and keeps your waiting slots cycling rapidly so you never dead end.

Step 4: Attack the top edge of the chocolate barrier.

The chocolate layer sits right in the bottom middle of the board and starts with a massive 700 point health pool. You cannot damage the chocolate until your ants clear the regular tiles bordering its top edge. As your white ants finish the top of the cow head and your pink ants clear the top half of the snout, a direct path to the chocolate opens up. Keep feeding pink and white blocks into your waiting slots. The ants will bump directly against the chocolate shell and start lowering that huge number.

Step 5: Keep feeding the blue blocks to fully open the hungry doors.

You must balance the chocolate assault with your ongoing attack on the hungry doors. Bring up more blue blocks whenever they appear from behind the hidden boxes in the tray. You will watch the numbers on the hungry doors drop below 155, then down to 67, and eventually hit zero. When you send the final wave of blue ants, the doors pop open and vanish completely. This is a critical moment because it finally exposes the solid blue background tiles hiding in the lower corners of the board.

Step 6: Melt away the remaining chocolate to free the bottom snout.

With the hungry doors out of the way, the entire board feels much more open and your risk of filling the five waiting slots drops significantly. Focus your attention back to the middle of the board. The ants will push the chocolate health pool down below 88 points and then shatter it completely. Breaking the chocolate exposes the lowest section of the cow face. Pull the required pink blocks to finish off the bottom of the snout and the chin. Your waiting slots are incredibly safe now because you have open paths across the entire bottom half of the board.

Step 7: Clear the remaining blue background and stray white tiles.

The final stretch is a simple cleanup operation. The remaining picture consists of scattered white tiles around the edges of the face and large patches of blue background. Pull the last few white blocks from your tray to complete the cow head. Then pull the remaining blue blocks to finish the sky background. The final ants will rush out of the nest and consume the last few pixels on the board. The picture goes completely empty and you win the level.

Final Thought

Managing the five waiting slots is the entire secret to beating this level. The combination of connected boxes and hungry doors makes it very easy to jam your tray if you pull colors out of order. If you take your time and follow the sequence of opening the doors while attacking the chocolate, you will keep your paths wide open.
