Colony Flow Level 160 is a challenging puzzle dominated by a massive cyan sky route set against an orange-and-blue car portrait layout.
The solution requires a methodical approach: start by clearing cyan perimeter traffic, transition into green-blue access paths, clean up the orange-yellow body section, and finish with the delayed pink-and-pale window connections. This walkthrough breaks down the most useful mechanics and practical play strategies for solving Level 160.
You’ll find clear step-by-step guidance on traffic flow priorities, color sequencing, and the specific moves that unlock each section of the puzzle withoutasting attempts on dead-end paths.
Colony Flow Level 160 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 160 is an orange-and-blue car portrait dominated by a cyan sky route. The solve follows a phased sequence: cyan perimeter traffic first, then green-blue access, orange-yellow body cleanup, and a delayed pink-and-cream window finish.
The level uses seven color routes—cyan, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, and cream—along with a shared central hole, lower edge lanes, and five white buffer pads. The strategy is to clear the cyan sky and perimeter before introducing car body, window, wheel, and grille groups.
How to Play Colony Flow Level 160 - Step-by-Step Solution
Open the cyan perimeter first.
Tap blue-cyan 43, then light-cyan 40. Wait for the first ants to leave the central hole and for the cyan route to settle into 31 / 30 / 17.
Continue the cyan wave without mixing colors.
Clear cyan 16 / 17 / 3 / 12 / 12. Do not tap pink 17 or any large orange-yellow stacks yet. This cyan traffic needs to cross the central hole and establish the outer loop before other colors enter the shared lanes.
Unlock the lower access lanes.
Use green 12, blue 20, green 23, orange 6, then cyan 27. This opens the lower grille, wheel access, and the next sky lane.
Run the main vehicle traffic phase.
Feed blue 20, green 11, and orange 42 / 42 into the route. Work through the cyan 163 family, keeping cyan moving through 146 / 130 / 113 / 96 / 80 / 63. During this phase, clear orange 8 / 23 / 20 and yellow 51 / 35 when the lower edge has room. Pause if traffic becomes crowded rather than overfilling the bottom lanes.
Clear windows, wheels, and side panels late.
Once the cyan sky route is open, route cream 39 / 22 / 20 / 5, blue 30 / 13 / 1, and pink 3 / 26. Keep at least one white buffer pad empty, since the cream and pink groups share the central-hole approach with late cyan and blue traffic.
Finish the remaining fragments.
Clear pink 9 / 2 / 1, cyan 71 / 29 / 12, and blue 9 / 5 if those groups remain exposed. Then route late cyan 43 / 29 / 21 / 14 / 8 / 6, green 17 / 1, yellow 47 / 46 / 20, and orange 35 / 29 / 28 / 17 / 11 / 3. Clear the final cyan 2 / 1 pieces and wait for the last perimeter ants to exit before the Victory transition appears.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Opening pink 17 / 40 too early.
Pink window ants can queue over the central hole while the cyan 163 family still occupies the perimeter. Wait until the sky route is open and the wheel route is active before beginning pink cleanup.
Sending large orange-yellow stacks during the heavy cyan pass.
Orange and yellow need the lower route for the roof, bumper, and grille. Starting them too early fills the bottom edge and can stall both the cyan loop and body traffic.
Using every buffer pad.
Filling all five white pads during cyan routing leaves no staging space for cream 20 / 5 and pink 3 / 26, which arrive when late cyan and blue traffic are still using the same approach.
Stopping after the car image breaks apart.
Roof, wheel, grille, and bumper pieces are not the end. Finish late cyan 43 / 29 / 21 / 14 / 8 / 6, yellow 47 / 46 / 20, orange 35 / 29 / 28 / 17 / 11 / 3, and the final cyan 2 / 1 before expecting the Victory screen.

What makes this level different?
Colony Flow Level 160 uses layered routing across a car portrait board that breaks into sky, roof, windows, wheels, grille, bumper, and side-panel fragments. The board can look nearly finished while several small perimeter groups are still active. Seven color routes share the central hole and bottom edge, so route order matters more than stack size. The five white buffer pads provide staging space during heavy traffic; saving one pad for cream 20 / 5 and pink 3 / 26 makes the late cleanup safer.
