Colony Flow Level 45 presents a 5-cell active top row above a 4-row, 3-column source grid below the dirt strip, requiring careful sequencing to solve the full puzzle.
The key to completing Colony Flow Level 45 lies in understanding how the compact source grid feeds into your active row.
How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 45 — Full Walkthrough
Colony Flow! Level 45 is a streaming-room board where green corner accents, white monitor stars, dark monitor outline, purple banner, red frame, and blue screen all share one ant hole. The solution depends on clearing the four active-row stacks first, then releasing each source-row wave only after the previous color has opened space.
- Tap green 13 in active-row cell 1. Green ants walk the dirt path up to the green corner lights at the top-left of the streaming room. Wait until the first green ants clear the bottom edge of the art before tapping the next stack.
- Tap white 27 in active-row cell 2. White ants walk the same path and start clearing the white star cells inside the blue monitor screen. Leave one beat between green and white so the green corner lights are mostly cleared first.
- Tap black 33 in active-row cell 3 once the white stars are at least half-cleared. Black ants clear the dark outline wrapping the monitor and the red wall frame.
- Tap purple 10 in active-row cell 4 after the outline is mostly cleared. Purple ants clear the small purple accent cells along the lower banner stripe. Leave the empty white buffer pad in cell 5 untouched.
- When source row 1 rises, tap the three red 30 stacks from left to right, pausing one beat between each. Red ants clear the large red wall frame around the monitor and the small red accent strip along the lower band. Wait until the purple banner cells are mostly cleared before releasing these waves.
- Release source row 2 in order: black 45, red 84, then blue 38. Black finishes the dark outline, red continues clearing the wall frame and accent strip, and blue starts clearing the blue monitor screen. Leave one beat between each wave so the red wall frame is at least half-cleared before blue enters.
- Finish with source row 3—green 25, blue 35, blue 45—then source row 4: green 35 and red 45. Green finishes the highlight cells along the wall, blue completes the monitor screen, and red clears the last wall frame and accent-strip cells. The late refill waves that rise into the empty white buffer pad finish the white star cells, dark outline, purple banner, and last blue monitor cells.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Firing the three red 30 stacks before the active-row waves have cleared the perimeter. This sends red ants across the wall frame that black still needs to outline and stalls them on remaining wall frame cells, blocking the red 84 and red 45 that need to clear the wall and red accent strip.
-
Tapping purple 10 while green and white ants are still walking the dirt path. This strands purple ants on remaining banner cells and blocks the late purple refills that need to clear the lower banner stripe.
-
Letting blue 38 rise before the white star cells are mostly cleared. This strands blue ants on remaining monitor screen cells and blocks the blue 35 and blue 45 that need to clear the rest of the monitor.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 45
-
Treat the active row as the opener queue. Tap green 13, white 27, black 33, and purple 10 in that order before touching any source row stack. These four colors clear the highest-traffic regions—green corner lights, white star cells, dark monitor outline, and purple banner—and must drain together before the red 30 stacks enter the dirt path.
-
Leave one beat between shared-path waves. Wait until the previous color begins clearing its nearest matching cells before tapping the next stack. The active row has exactly one empty white buffer pad in cell 5 at the start, so the only way to free a slot for a rising refill is to drain an active row cell.
-
Save the empty white buffer pad for late cleanup refills. The fifth cell of the active row fills with rising small white, green, black, purple, and blue refills in quick succession. Filling it with a red 30, black 45, or blue 38 source click strands the refill waves and leaves the white star cells, green highlights, dark outline, purple banner, and last blue monitor cells empty.
