Colony Flow Level 43 Walkthrough - Master the Pink Ant Timing to Beat Kirby's Tricky Portrait Puzzle

Colony Flow Level 43 requires precise tap timing to prevent pink ants from blocking your solve path.

The round pink Kirby body dominates the puzzle grid, and tapping pink stacks in source row 1 too early—before cyan 4, white 5, and white 9 waves clear the face perimeter—sends pink ants across background cells that active colors still need to clear. These premature pink ants stall on remaining body cells and block the late pink refill waves that must rise into the active row for a full solve.

This walkthrough focuses on the tap sequence that keeps pink flows from interfering with perimeter clearing, plus the specific wave timing that unlocks the body region without stalls.

Colony Flow Level 43 Walkthrough

Colony Flow Level 43 is a Kirby portrait board where cyan background, white highlights, pink body, black outline, and dark-red shoes all share one dirt path. The small background and face colors must land before the body flood begins.

• Step 1: Tap the cyan 4 stack at the far left of the active row. One cyan ant walks up to clear the cyan background cells. Wait for the first cyan ant to clear the bottom edge before tapping the next stack.
• Step 2: Tap the white 5 stack in the second cell. A white ant starts clearing the small white cheek cell. Leave one beat between cyan and white so background cells are mostly cleared first.
• Step 3: Tap the white 9 stack in the third cell. Another white ant clears the white eye-highlight cells. Leave one beat so the cheek cells are at least half-cleared.
• Step 4: Tap the black 20 stack, then the cyan 26 stack. A black ant traces the dark outline wrapping the Kirby silhouette while the second cyan ant clears remaining background tiles. Leave one beat between each wave.
• Step 5: Wait for the cyan 4, white 5, white 9, black 20, and cyan 26 waves to clear the dirt path between the ant hole and the bottom edge of the Kirby.
• Step 6: Tap the four pink stacks in source row 1 left-to-right: pink 35, pink 30, pink 35, pink 38. Pink ants clear the large round Kirby body. Leave one beat between each pink wave.
• Step 7: Tap source row 2 left-to-right: pink 35, white 38, white 38, white 4. The second pink wave clears the last pink body cells on the bottom while white waves clear remaining face highlights. Leave one beat between each wave.
• Step 8: Tap source row 3 left-to-right: white 30, white 38. Then clear the late dark red, pink, cyan, black, and white refills that rise into the drained active row slots. The last waves clear remaining shoes, body cells, background cells, outline cells, and highlights.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Firing pink stacks too early. Tapping pink 35, pink 30, pink 35, or pink 38 from source row 1 before the cyan 4, white 5, and white 9 waves have cleared sends pink ants across remaining background and white highlight cells, stalling them and blocking late pink refills.

• Tapping black 20 while cyan and white ants are still walking. This strands black ants on remaining outline cells and blocks the late dark red refill needed for the small shoes.

• Letting dark red refill rise too early. If dark red enters the active row before the last pink body cells are at least half-cleared, dark red ants stall on remaining shoe cells and block late cyan, black, and white refills.

Quick Tips

• Tap the cyan 4, white 5, and white 9 first. The cyan background and white face highlights are the two highest-traffic color regions and must clear together before any pink body or dark red shoe ant enters the dirt path.

• Treat the active row as the opener queue. Tap pink 35, pink 30, pink 35, and pink 38 from source row 1 only after the cyan, white, and black active row waves have cleared. Tap source row 2 only after the first pink row has cleared. Tap source row 3 only after source row 2 has cleared.

• Save the dark red refill for the very end. The small dark red shoes never appear in the active row, so dark red ants share the dirt path with all other colors. Wait for the last pink body cells to be at least half-cleared before letting dark red rise into the active row.
