Colony Flow Level 860 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 860

Welcome back to another puzzle breakdown. Colony Flow Level 860 gives you a massive capybara resting with a bright red apple on its head. I play every single level myself to find the exact moves that keep the board moving and the ants flowing smoothly. You will need careful slot management to clear this beautiful pixel art without causing a massive traffic jam at the bottom of your screen. I am Liam Stone and I am going to walk you through the perfect sequence to beat this board.

Colony Flow Level 860 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board displays a large pixel art capybara sleeping right in the center of your screen. A bright red apple sits directly on top of the animal. The surrounding background features detailed green foliage elements and light blue water patterns that frame the character beautifully. Right at the top center sits a massive wooden chest with a seventy count requirement. The block tray at the bottom is packed with high capacity blocks. You will see red, brown, green, white, purple, yellow, and blue blocks stacked deep in the tray. Some of these blocks feature Connected Boxes that pull into your waiting slots as a single group. You also have standard numbered blocks that handle the bulk of the clearing work.

What It Takes to Clear Level 860 Board

You win when every colored pixel is eaten by your colony and the board is completely empty. The core challenge revolves around the five waiting slots located at the bottom edge. If you pull too many blocks and fill all five slots without an open path to the board you immediately lose the level. You must always match colors that have exposed edges on the picture. The giant chest at the top requires constant attention throughout the entire level. You will chip away at its seventy count while simultaneously dismantling the capybara and the surrounding scenery. Every move must focus on keeping at least one route totally open so your slots never jam up.

Colony Flow Level 860 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Target the red apple and the initial purple sections on the board

You begin the level by focusing on the most accessible parts of the pixel art. Pull the red forty five block up into your first waiting slot. The red ants immediately stream out of the nest hole and march straight up to the apple sitting on the capybara. This creates a solid initial path and keeps your board completely active. Next you pull the purple thirteen block into the second slot. The purple ants find their path and start clearing the purple pixels scattered near the top section of the board. You still have three open slots which keeps you completely safe from a dead end scenario. Always let the ants establish their routes before you start pulling more colors from the tray.

Step 2: Bring out the green and pink blocks to expand the active clearing zone

Once the red ants start reducing the apple you can safely expand your attack. Pull the green forty block and the pink forty three block into your waiting area. The green ants rush toward the left side of the board to eat away the bright green foliage right next to the capybara. The pink ants target the small pink accents near the belly and feet of the animal. You now have four blocks active in the slots at the exact same time. Because all four colors have open paths to the picture the blocks will steadily count down and vanish. The red block drops away completely as the apple disappears. The slots will naturally free up as the blocks empty out into the colony stream.

Step 3: Deploy the large white and brown blocks to dismantle the capybara body

The capybara itself is made of hundreds of brown and white pixels pieced together. Pull the white fifty two block to send a massive swarm of white ants toward the belly area. Follow this action up by pulling a brown forty five block. The brown ants climb up the screen and start eating the main body and the face of the sleeping capybara. The central picture really starts to break apart right here. You feel tempted to pull more blocks right now but you must wait. Let the brown and white ants do their heavy lifting. If you pull a color that is trapped behind the brown pixels you will definitely jam a slot. Patience right here guarantees you keep a path open for the next wave of blocks.

Step 4: Attack the top edges with dark blue and dark green ants to open borders

With the center of the capybara thinning out you finally gain access to the outer elements. Pull the dark green twenty four block and the dark blue twenty block from your tray. The dark blue ants wrap around the top right edge to clear the blue sky and water borders. The dark green ants finish off the remaining leaves on the far left edge of the picture. The giant chest at the top still shows a full seventy count at this stage. We ignore the chest for just a moment longer to ensure the surrounding pixels do not block our access points. Clearing these outer blue and green sections opens up the direct paths we absolutely need for the final heavy lifting.

Step 5: Pull the Connected Boxes to crack open the giant wooden chest

Now you address the massive chest sitting right at the top of the board. Look at your lower tray and find the purple three block linked directly to the green twenty five block. These are Connected Boxes. When you tap one of them both blocks snap into your waiting slots together. Make sure you have at least two empty slots before you do this action. The purple ants charge straight up to the chest and strike it. The chest counter drops from seventy down to twenty six. Meanwhile the green ants from the connected block run to clear the remaining grass pixels on the right side. This dual action clears a massive chunk of the board without ever risking a slot jam.

Step 6: Send yellow and teal ants to clear the remaining background details

The picture is now mostly empty space with disconnected islands of color left behind. Pull the yellow fifty five block to handle the yellow flower centers and the scattered background dots on the right side. Pull the teal forty five block right after that. The teal ants sweep across the very top left corner and clear out the light blue pixels floating near the chest area. The chest counter continues to drop as you send more purple ants from another purple block in the tray. You bring the chest count down to twenty two and then quickly down to five. The board is incredibly open right now and you have complete freedom to use any remaining blocks.

Step 7: Execute the final cleanup phase to win the level and finish the board

Only a few random pixels remain scattered across the totally empty canvas. You have a handful of low number blocks left in your bottom tray. Pull the red four block to finish the last tiny piece of the red apple. Pull the purple eight block to finally destroy the giant chest completely. Then send the brown five block and the blue six block straight into the slots. The brown ants eat the very last piece of the capybara nose. The blue ants mop up a tiny blue cloud shape on the right edge. All five waiting slots are completely clear and the ants march off the board. You win the level smoothly without ever coming close to a dead end.

Final Thought

Colony Flow rewards patience and careful observation above all else. Keep your eyes permanently locked on those five waiting slots and never force a block that lacks a clear path to the picture. You can easily conquer these massive pixel art boards by working from the outside edges inward. Please check out the gameplay video above this article if any exact sequence feels tricky to visualize.
