Colony Flow Level 146 Walkthrough - Master the Body-First Route and Avoid the Pink-Purple Ribbon Trap

Colony Flow Level 146 is a creature-based puzzle where timing determines success.

The broad yellow center must open before the dotted pink-purple ribbon, because the heavy core, pale edge, and blue midline all compete for the same single ant hole afterward. Getting the sequence wrong blocks progress entirely.

This walkthrough focuses on the clearest play order, useful mechanics for opening each section, and practical details that help you complete Level 146 without wasted moves.

Colony Flow Level 146 Walkthrough

Colony Flow Level 146 uses a body-first route on a creature-shaped board with a broad yellow center, pale outer edge, blue midline, and a dotted pink-purple ribbon in the upper-right. The level has one ant hole, so every color family shares the same lane. Start with the heavy yellow core, open the narrow right-side border early, and save the small ribbon pockets for cleanup.

The key pieces are Yellow 36 and its follow-up yellow waves, White 45 on the pale border, Blue 46 on the midline, Green 43/50 and Dark 20 along the lower edge, plus Pink 11, Pink 14, and Purple 7 in the upper-right ribbon.

How to Play Colony Flow Level 146 - Step-by-Step Solution

1. Start with Yellow 36 and the early yellow follow-ups. Drain the broad yellow center first; it requires the most access to the ant hole.

2. Bring in White 45 and the pale edge pieces early. Open the narrow right-side border pocket while yellow traffic is already moving to keep the center lane from becoming trapped.

3. Add Blue 46 once the yellow body is underway. Clear the blue midline before it becomes an obstruction, but do not let it steal the opening lane from yellow.

4. Use the lower outline pieces through midgame. Add Dark 20, Green 43/50, and other lower-edge accents while continuing to prioritize remaining yellow mass.

5. Delay Pink 11, Pink 14, and Purple 7. The dotted pink-purple ribbon is the level’s greed trap. These small upper-right pockets clog the shared lane if cleared too early.

6. Finish the remaining edge and decoration cleanup. Remove leftover pale and blue pieces, then clear the final pink-purple ribbon dots.

Common Mistakes

• Sending the dotted ribbon before the yellow core is already shrinking, which parks ants on tiny upper-right pockets and blocks the broad center.
• Ignoring the right-side pale edge pocket until too late, which can trap the big body flood in the middle.
• Treating the decoration as the opener instead of the heavy center mass.

What Happens If the Pink-Purple Ribbon Enters Too Early?

The ribbon only targets tiny upper-right decoration pockets. If it enters before the center body and edge are already moving, ants park on that ribbon and block the same hole the heavy yellow core still needs, creating a traffic jam that stalls the entire clear.
