Colony Flow Level 790 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 790

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 790. This level presents a solid challenge with a bright colorful balloon dog picture sitting right in the middle of your board. You need to manage your tray blocks carefully because the paths can get crowded quickly. I play every single level myself and write down exactly what works. I will break down the winning strategy so you can beat this board without jamming your slots.

Colony Flow Level 790 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board features a large pixel art picture of a balloon dog. The picture consists of pink, purple, white, yellow, and teal food tiles. You see a nest hole right at the bottom where your ant colony lives. Below the board sits your tray filled with colored numbered blocks. You have five empty waiting slots just above the tray. The board also includes some special tiles you must handle. A Hungry Door sits near the bottom legs of the balloon dog. You must clear all required colors to open the door and reveal the rest of the board. Down in your tray you will find Connected Boxes. These are two or more boxes linked together with a thick pipe. They clear as a group so you must handle them with extra care. You will also deal with a Lock and Key mechanic later in the level. A yellow lock sits on one of your tray blocks. You must collect the hidden key on the board to unlock that specific tray block.

What It Takes to Clear Level 790 Board

Clearing this board requires you to eat every single food tile that makes up the balloon dog picture. You accomplish this by pulling the correct colored blocks from your tray into the waiting slots. The number printed on each block tells you exactly how many ants it holds. When you place a block in a slot, the matching ants run out of the nest hole. They travel along the open paths and eat the corresponding food tiles. Your main goal is to never fill all five waiting slots without having an open path for the ants. If the slots jam and no ants can move, you lose the level immediately. You avoid this strict lose condition by planning your moves and always making sure the color you pull has a clear open route to its food tiles. You start by feeding the pink ants to open the Hungry Door. Then you handle the Connected Boxes safely. Finally you find the key to open your locked block and clean up the rest of the board to win.

Colony Flow Level 790 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: You pull the pink blocks first to reduce the count on the Hungry Door

The very first obstacle you face is the Hungry Door located right at the bottom center of the balloon dog. This door blocks your progress and requires you to clear specific colors before it will open. You begin by pulling a pink block from your tray into the waiting slots. Pink ants immediately pour out of the nest hole and run straight to the pink food tiles on the lower legs of the balloon dog. Every single pink tile they consume directly reduces the big number displayed on the Hungry Door. You need to keep feeding the pink ants to drive that number all the way down to zero. Pull another pink block if your first one runs out of ants. Watch the board paths carefully as the ants move around. You must ensure the pink ants maintain an unbroken line to their target tiles. If you pull a different color right now, those new ants will block the main intersection and cause your slots to jam. You stick with the pink blocks until you completely satisfy the Hungry Door requirements. Once the door opens, the board expands and gives you access to the main body of the picture.

Step 2: You manage the connected boxes while clearing purple and white tiles

With the Hungry Door completely open, you can reach the purple and white sections of the picture. Look down at your tray and notice the Connected Boxes. These are linked blocks that move into the waiting slots together when you pull just one of them. You must be very careful when pulling these connected pairs. You ensure that the colors of the connected boxes both have open paths on the board before you make a move. You pull a purple block first to start clearing the large purple sections of the dog. The purple ants march out and begin eating the tiles rapidly. Now you can safely pull the connected blocks. The connected boxes bring a pink block and another color into the slots. Since you already opened up the paths, the ants from the connected boxes can flow freely without getting stuck. You then pull a white block to send white ants to the highlight tiles on the picture. The white ants weave around the empty spaces left behind by the purple ants. You keep the waiting slots perfectly safe by balancing the purple and white blocks. You always wait for one group of ants to reach their destination before you flood the board with another color. This steady rhythm prevents traffic jams and keeps your board moving forward.

Step 3: You deploy the teal blocks to clear the outer edges of the picture

The middle of the balloon dog is now mostly clear of tiles. You turn your attention to the teal tiles scattered along the outer edges of the picture. You pull a teal block into your waiting slots to start this phase. The teal ants sprint out of the nest and travel the long empty paths to reach the edges. The teal tiles form the nose and the back tail of the balloon dog. You need to give the teal ants plenty of time to reach these distant tiles. You absolutely do not pull a new block while the teal ants are still travelling. If you crowd the path, the new ants will stop and back up all the way to the waiting slots. You patiently wait for the teal block number to count down to zero. Once the teal block empties, you can pull the next block you need from the tray. You watch the tiny teal workers clear away the nose shape completely. Then you focus on the back tail section to ensure nothing gets left behind. The paths are very long now so patience is your best tool. You let the ants finish their complete journey before you make your next tray selection. You pull another teal block to finish the tail section. You pull it carefully and watch the ants finish their meal. Your board is getting very empty now. The waiting slots are totally safe because you left so much open space on the board for the ants to navigate.

Step 4: You collect the key from the board to open the locked tray block

You have a yellow block in your tray covered by a bright yellow lock. You cannot pull this block until you collect the corresponding key. You look at the board to find the key resting among the remaining food tiles. You must clear the tiles surrounding the key to collect it. You keep an eye on the waiting slots while you hunt for the key. You pull single blocks carefully to carve a clear path to the key location. The key itself is small but highly visible once you clear the clutter around it. Collecting it feels very rewarding because it opens up the rest of your tray for the final push. This usually involves sending a few more purple or pink ants to eat the adjacent tiles. Once the ants eat the tiles touching the key, the key flies down to your tray and unlocks the yellow block. Now you have full access to all your remaining blocks. You pull the newly unlocked yellow block into the slots right away. The yellow ants rush out and head straight for the yellow tiles on the balloon dog belly and ears. The picture shrinks down to just a few scattered pieces. You maintained perfect control over the waiting slots during this entire process. You never let them fill up with unusable blocks because you managed your moves perfectly.

Step 5: You clean up the final scattered food tiles to win the level

You are on the final stretch of the level with victory in sight. Only a handful of random colored tiles remain on the board at this point. You check your tray and pull the exact blocks you need to match those final tiles. You pull a small purple block and a small white block to finish the job. You grab a final yellow block if there are any tiny yellow pixels left. The final stages of any level are dangerous if you rush. You take a breath and pull the last few blocks with purpose. You make sure the final colors have absolutely no blocks in their way. You pull them into the empty waiting slots one by one. The final ants stream out of the nest hole and run to the far corners of the board. They clean up the very last pixels of the balloon dog. You watch the tray empty out completely as you use your last blocks. The waiting slots sit perfectly clear and safe. The last ant finishes the last food tile and the board becomes totally bare. You solved the puzzle by keeping the paths open and managing your connected boxes perfectly. You never hit a dead end and you never jammed your slots.

Final Thought

This level heavily tests your ability to manage special mechanics while keeping your paths completely clear. The Hungry Door forces you to focus on specific pink colors early on to open the board. The Connected Boxes demand careful planning so you do not accidentally crowd the waiting slots with unplayable colors. The Lock and Key mechanic adds an extra layer of strategy to your block pulls. If you take your time and follow the safe routes I described, you will clear the board without any trouble. I highly encourage you to watch the video above this article if you find any step hard to visualize from the text alone. Watching the actual gameplay can help you understand exactly how the ants navigate the trickier intersections.
