Colony Flow Level 904 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 904

Colony Flow Level 904 features a beautiful pixel art picture of a girl wearing a bright yellow dress and a purple headband. I played this stage multiple times to find the safest route through the colors. You have to peel this portrait away layer by layer to avoid trapping your ants. Poor tray management will end your run very fast. I will teach you exactly how to clear this board without ever getting stuck.

Colony Flow Level 904 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board displays a complex character portrait made of hundreds of tiny colored square tiles. You face a dark blue and black outer border surrounding a bright cyan background. The character has thick brown hair and a bright yellow dress. Her face features white skin tiles with pink and red cheek details. Down at the bottom of the screen sits your tray filled with numbered colored blocks. Some of these blocks are connected boxes. Two or more boxes linked together form a single unit. You must clear them as a group. This mechanic heavily limits your tray space and demands very careful move sequencing.

What It Takes to Clear Level 904 Board

You win this level when every single pixel tile disappears from the canvas and your ants return to their nest. You play by pulling blocks from the bottom tray into your five waiting slots. Matching ants pour out of the hole and march toward the picture. They eat tiles that match their specific color. The number on your tray block counts down with every bite. The block vanishes and frees up a waiting slot only when the number hits zero. You must always maintain an open physical path for the ants to walk. Filling all five slots with blocked colors will end your run instantly.

Colony Flow Level 904 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Clear the outer dark edges to open the board

Begin your run by focusing entirely on the outer perimeter of the pixel art. You will notice a thick dark blue and black border wrapping the entire image. Look at your tray and locate the black block showing 65. Tap it to pull it up into your first waiting slot. The black ants will instantly flood out of the nest hole and trace the outer edge of the canvas. Following that pull the dark blue block showing 60. Dark blue ants will join the swarm and target the right side border. These moves are perfectly safe. The outside border tiles touch the open wooden board directly. The ants do not have to navigate through any maze or wait for other colors to clear. Your waiting slots will empty out rapidly as the 65 and 60 counts drop to zero.

Step 2: Push into the cyan background and purple headband

Once the dark border dissolves you gain access to the brighter inner colors. The background behind the girl consists of bright cyan tiles. You will see a cyan block in your tray showing 30. Pull this cyan block into an empty waiting slot. The cyan ants march up the left side and begin clearing that sky blue background. Simultaneously you can begin dismantling the top section of the purple headband. Pull the purple block showing 60 into another slot. Purple ants will rush the right side of the canvas. You must always watch your five waiting slots. Never pull a block if the target color is buried deep inside the picture. Pulling a trapped color means the block sits in your tray forever and ruins your run.

Step 3: Handle the first connected boxes in the tray

You will soon encounter your first major obstacle in the form of connected boxes. The tray holds a dark blue block showing 21 physically linked to a purple block showing 45. Pulling this pair drags both blocks into your waiting slots at the exact same time. This action instantly burns two of your five available spaces. Before you make this move you must guarantee that both dark blue and purple tiles are ready to eat. Your previous work on the outer edge guarantees the dark blue ants have a clear walking path. The earlier purple moves open up the lower headband. Both sets of ants will pour out and eat simultaneously. The numbers will count down together and free up two slots once they finish.

Step 4: Begin clearing the yellow dress from the bottom up

Look at the bottom area of the pixel art picture. The character wears a bright yellow dress that touches the bottom edge of the canvas. Locate the yellow block showing 13 in your tray. Tap it into a waiting slot. Yellow ants will stream directly upward from the nest hole to consume the bottom layer of the dress. This is a crucial move because clearing the dress creates a wide open highway for ants to reach the center of the board later. While the yellow ants are busy you can tap the next purple block showing 44. This keeps the pressure on the purple headband. Keeping multiple paths active ensures your clear speed remains high without risking a jammed tray.

Step 5: Process the next set of connected blocks carefully

Another linked pair of blocks waits for you in the tray. This pair features a purple block showing 22 connected to a cyan block. Pull this linked unit into your active slots. By now the top portion of the headband is mostly gone. The purple ants will chew through the middle section of the hair wrap. The cyan ants will finish off the remaining background pixels on the left side of the portrait. You must remain vigilant about your tray space here. If the cyan path gets blocked by a rogue yellow tile the cyan block will stop counting down. This stalls the connected purple block as well. Always clear the outer blocking colors before committing to a double block pull.

Step 6: Attack the orange details and the remaining black outline

The portrait includes several orange detail tiles scattered through the hair and the dress shadow. Find the orange block showing 23 and pull it into a slot. Orange ants will navigate the newly cleared paths to reach these scattered tiles. At this same moment you should pull the final black block showing 9. Black ants will rush to the right side of the canvas and eat the very last pieces of the dark outline. The picture is now shrinking rapidly. You have successfully stripped away the background and the borders. The dense core of the character face and hair remains your primary target.

Step 7: Deploy the brown blocks to break open the hair

The brown hair forms a thick protective wall around the delicate facial features. You cannot reach the white skin tiles until you punch a hole through the brown hair. Locate the large brown block showing 30. Pull it up and watch a massive wave of brown ants march up the center of the board. They will attack the crown of the head and the hanging locks on the left side. Let these brown ants work for a moment. Do not flood your tray with face colors just yet. If you pull a white block now it will just sit in your tray and take up space. Wait for the brown count to drop significantly before you plan your next move.

Step 8: Open the white face tiles for the first time

The brown ants finally clear enough hair to expose the top of the forehead. Now is the time to strike the face. Pull the white block showing 11 from your tray. White ants will enter the center of the portrait and begin chewing away the skin pixels. While they work you can bring up the next orange block showing 8. The orange ants will clean up the neck shadow below the chin. Notice how every single move opens up a deeper layer of the picture. Your ants are now traveling deep into the center of the board. The open space around the picture allows them to maneuver without getting trapped.

Step 9: Manage the small connected purple pairs in the deep tray

You will uncover tiny connected purple blocks near the bottom of your tray stack. One pair links a purple 2 with a purple 1. Pull these tiny linked boxes immediately. They target the final stubborn fragments of the headband near the ear of the character. Because the numbers are incredibly low these blocks will vanish from your tray in a matter of seconds. Rapid turnarounds like this are fantastic for your board state. They allow you to cycle through the tray and reach the final massive blocks needed to finish the level.

Step 10: Clear the pink and red facial features

The character features bright red and pink pixels that make up her cheeks and mouth. These are buried deep inside the face area. Locate the pink block showing 7 and pull it into an open slot. Pink ants will march straight into the center of the remaining white tiles to consume the blush details. Next pull the final brown block showing 2. Two brown ants will run up and eat the very last strands of hair at the top of the canvas. The board looks remarkably empty now. You only have a few large clusters of white and yellow remaining.

Step 11: Finish the remaining white face pixels completely

A massive white block showing 47 sits near the very end of your tray. The entire face area is completely exposed and waiting. Pull this white block into a slot. A huge swarm of white ants will flood the center of the screen. They will rapidly consume every single remaining skin tile. The number 47 will drop in a blur because the white pixels are tightly packed together. You have zero risk of blocking a path at this late stage. The board is wide open and the ants can reach every single pixel from any angle.

Step 12: Clean up the final yellow dress tiles to win

Your final task is to clear the last pieces of the yellow dress. You will see yellow blocks showing 18 and 13 remaining in your tray. Pull them both up into your waiting slots. The yellow ants will rush to the bottom right quadrant of the board. They will devour the final hanging fragments of the character clothing. Watch as the very last yellow pixel vanishes from the screen. The remaining ants will scurry back down into the nest hole. The board clears completely and you secure your victory.

Final Thought

Level 904 demands patience and excellent tray management. You must respect the connected boxes and never pull them unless you guarantee open walking paths for both colors. Keep your focus on peeling the colors from the outside in. Never pull a center color before the outer shell breaks.
