Recommended Removal Order (the order colors actually clear in the video)
Tiles in Colony Flow are stacked in layers — a color that covers others must be carried away first. Measured from the video, colors disappear in the following order; follow it:
Yellow (first — outermost / top layer), cleared around 3:42
Blue, cleared around 3:48
Pink, cleared around 3:48
Purple, cleared around 3:48
Orange, cleared around 3:48
Red, cleared around 3:48
Brown (last — bottom layer), cleared around 3:48
White / empty space finishes around 3:48
Step-by-Step
Open with: Yellow, Blue, Pink. These sit on the outermost/top layer — clear them first to expose what is underneath.
Mid-game: Purple, Orange. Once exposed, tap connected same-color tiles in a row to keep the ant queue on one color.
Finish with: Red, Brown. This lies at the bottom — sweep it in bulk at the end.
The queue only has 5 slots: push 1–2 colors at a time, finish one before starting the next, so mixed colors never jam all five slots.
Key Frames (see the frames/ folder)
| File | Time | What is shown |
|---|---|---|
| f_001.png | 0:00 | Starting picture, all color tiles present |
| f_075.png | 3:42 | ~1/3 of colors cleared (Pink about to clear) |
| f_074.png | 3:39 | ~2/3 of colors cleared (Orange about to clear) |
| f_078.png | 3:51 | Board fully cleared, level complete |
Tips & Pitfalls
Queue management is the core skill: Blue has the largest area. After tapping it, use spare slots to finish tiny quick colors while the ants carry — never fill all 5 slots with one big color.
A tile marked "?" hides its count until tapped; open it only when a slot is free, so an unmatchable color does not jam the queue.
Bottom tools: Undo, Lightning (area clear), Magnet (pull one color), Eraser (remove a tile). When jammed, use the Magnet on the same color first.
When same-color tiles show a connecting highlight, tap along the line to chain-cancel them and free slots the fastest.
