Colony Flow Level 156 is a rainbow smiley wheel puzzle where cyan (40 cells) and purple (30 cells) must open the perimeter before yellow, black, red, green, and orange petal traffic can clear the nested rings.
The guide covers perimeter unlocking strategy, optimal flow paths for each color group, and common bottlenecks that stall progress in the nested ring structure—giving you practical answers to complete Level 156 without trial-and-error repetition.
Colony Flow Level 156 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 156 is a rainbow smiley wheel where cyan 40 and purple 30 must open the perimeter before yellow, black, red, green, and orange petal traffic can clear the nested rings. The level uses five staging pads and one bottom hole, so capacity matters more than speed. Open the cyan and purple perimeter routes before sending petal traffic; otherwise, the 30-stacks can clog the pads and strand the outer arcs.
How to Solve Colony Flow Level 156
Open the perimeter first.
Leave all five staging pads empty briefly, then tap cyan 40. Let it peel around the left and lower perimeter before adding the first purple 30 while cyan is still moving.
Build the first queue without filling every pad.
As slots open, send dark 35, the second purple 30, and pink 32. Hold yellow 35 until the next free staging pad. Keep at least one pad available while the cyan and purple traffic drains.
Clear the petal wave.
Run yellow 35, then red 30, green 30, orange 28, and orange 25. This timing keeps the bottom hole open as the outer rings pass and starts removing the eye, mouth, and petal separators.
Remove the nested separators.
Follow the visible black 35 / 30, yellow, purple 30 / 32, and red 30 groups as the petals detach. Work from the outside inward rather than sending early center colors into the queue.
Finish the remaining stacks.
Use purple 25, cyan 23, black 30, red 21, and pink 1, followed by black 8, yellow 9, black 32, red 26, and pink 3. Save green 30 and orange 30 for after the last perimeter traffic has drained.
Wait for the top cyan/purple arc and both side hooks to disappear. The level is complete only when the entire frame is empty, not when the center smiley has cleared.
Common Mistakes
-
Outer ring remains blocked: Start with cyan 40, then purple 30. Do not queue yellow petals or dark separators until these groups begin peeling around the lower perimeter.
-
All five pads fill with 30-stacks: Keep one staging pad free while cyan and purple are moving, then add dark 35 and yellow 35 as openings appear.
-
Petal colors jam the bottom hole: Delay early red, green, orange, and pink traffic until the outer route separates. Outside-in clearing prevents the center lobe from locking the shared exit.
-
The smiley clears but the level does not end: Check the top arc and side hooks for cyan and purple remnants. Finish those perimeter pieces, then drain the final green 30 and orange 30 groups.
