Colony Flow Level 1357 presents a charming pixel art illustration of an angelic creature framed by a wide peach backdrop. Clearing this board requires careful coordination because several numbered blocks are linked together as connected pairs. Managing your five waiting slots while uncovering hidden mystery boxes is the true key to victory.

The pixel art canvas displays an adorable winged creature resembling a chubby hamster with an angelic theme. At the top rests a broad halo rendered in bright yellow, hovering directly over the creature. The main body consists predominantly of clean white tiles, accented by dark purple outline details, whiskers, and facial features. Two deep red feet anchor the lower portion of the character, matching the dark red wings flanking both shoulders. On the left side, a small cluster of bright yellow tiles forms a decorative flower. Framing the upper half of the board is a vast field of peach colored tiles that forms the background.

Down in the lower tray, your block selection starts with multiple layered stacks. The front row features connected pairs, notably a peach block linked directly to a white block, as well as a peach block connected to a dark purple block. Solo blocks, such as an isolated peach twenty five block, also sit on the front line. Beneath these active front pieces rest several hidden mystery boxes displaying question marks, alongside low value utility blocks and deeper layers of numbered tiles.

The central ant nest sits directly below the artwork, opening upward into the bottom border of the frame. White tiles forming the lower belly are accessible almost immediately, but the dark red feet block direct access to the interior body. To reach the massive field of peach tiles spread across the top, your ants must embark on an extensive trek along the outer edges of the board.

Connected boxes represent the primary mechanical obstacle here. Tapping a linked pair instantly sends both blocks upward into your five waiting slots. If you choose a connected pair without an open path for both colors, one block will sit completely idle. Because you only have five waiting slots total, committing two slots at once can rapidly push you toward a game over. Hidden mystery boxes also add tension, as you cannot verify their color until the blocks resting above them have been entirely depleted and cleared from the board.

Begin by selecting the front connected pair containing the peach twenty and white twenty five. Both blocks immediately shift into your waiting slots. White ants pour straight out from the central nest and rush into the bottom belly of the creature, quickly chewing through the initial layer of white tiles. Because the peach tiles at the top require a clear path, peach ants stream out toward the left and right perimeters, climbing the side borders to begin biting into the lower corners of the peach ceiling.

As the white twenty five block counts down, it removes the base tiles between the creature feet. This initial clearance widens the central opening and provides breathing room for incoming ants. Meanwhile, the peach block steadily ticks downward as ants reach the upper perimeter. The five waiting slots currently hold two active blocks, leaving three slots completely open for subsequent moves.

With the first white block exhausted, tap the exposed yellow block from the left side of the tray. A yellow block containing sixteen points slides into the next waiting slot. Yellow ants promptly surge out from the nest, following the outer left perimeter toward the small flower at the creature hip, while other yellow ants branch upward toward the halo.

While the yellow ants work on the side cluster, select the single white twenty five block that has now rolled forward in the tray. This ensures that the white ant stream continues uninterrupted through the center of the creature body. The white counter rapidly drops as the belly hollows out, carving a wide cavern directly into the center of the character. The waiting slots now hold active yellow and white blocks, keeping your buffer safe while clearing essential interior space.

Now that paths along both outer walls are completely established, turn your attention to the substantial peach background tiles overhead. Select the peach thirty five block from the tray. This block links into the waiting area and releases a massive swarm of peach ants that travel along both outer channels, eroding the outer edges of the upper backdrop.

As these peach ants work their way across the ceiling, select the accompanying peach blocks uncovered in the center columns. In this phase, you will see counters of ten, seventeen, seven, and thirteen cycling through your waiting slots. Peach tiles vanish rapidly from the top left and top right corners, lowering the total tile density at the summit of the board. Maintain steady pressure here so that the background does not linger into the late game.

Once the white belly has been thoroughly carved out, the dark red feet and the lower edges of the wings become fully exposed. Tap the connected pair containing the dark red twenty six and peach thirty five. The dark red block activates, dispatching ants directly into the two lower feet.

The dark red counters tick down rapidly as the feet vanish, removing the bottom obstacles entirely. With the feet gone, ants exiting the nest have an unobstructed, straight path directly into the core of the art piece. The accompanying peach ants continue their sweeping path along the top wall, gradually shaving away the peach backdrop until only the central ceiling tiles remain.

With the lower board clear, several mystery boxes in the tray unveil themselves, revealing additional yellow and white numbers. Tap the yellow twenty nine block and the white pair linked together. Yellow ants immediately travel straight through the hollowed body, surging up into the glowing halo hovering over the creature head.

The halo begins to break apart from the bottom upward, while white ants eliminate the remaining facial borders around the cheeks. During this stage, watch your waiting slots carefully. Because you are handling linked pairs, ensure that every selected color currently possesses exposed tiles. The halo tiles drop from twenty nine down to the low single digits, exposing the dark purple outlines that frame the forehead and ears.

Select the dark purple block that has emerged at the front of the tray. Dark purple ants march directly through the center opening, targeting the eyes, nose, and inner ear contours. Simultaneously, select the remaining low value white blocks to finish cleaning up the cheek patches and the inner halo filling.

As the dark purple ants consume the facial features, the face of the creature completely disappears, leaving behind only the dark red wings on either side and the top peach canopy. Your waiting slots should remain well below capacity, with only two or three slots filled at any given moment.

Step 7: Eliminate the Wings and Clear the Halo Remains

Tap the yellow and dark red blocks currently available in the tray. Yellow ants rush up to consume the final three tiles of the halo, successfully clearing the entire upper halo structure from the board. At the exact same time, dark red ants travel laterally into the left and right wings.

The wings rapidly shrink as the dark red counters drop from twenty down to zero. The disappearance of the wings completely opens up the upper left and upper right corridors, allowing any remaining ants to take direct diagonal paths rather than marching around the extreme outer perimeter.

Only the uppermost peach ceiling tiles and a few stray outline pixels remain. Tap the final peach blocks, including the peach thirteen and peach twenty eight. A final, dense swarm of peach ants floods upward through the wide open center of the board.

Without any obstacles in their way, the ants consume the remaining peach tiles in seconds. The counter on your final peach block hits zero, the waiting slots empty out completely, and the level concludes in a clean victory.

The critical turning point occurs during Step 4, when you commit to the connected dark red block to eliminate the lower feet. Prior to that move, ants are forced to funnel around the exterior or squeeze through narrow gaps in the lower belly. Once those two dark red feet are consumed, the base of the board opens completely. This gives ants a wide, unrestricted highway from the nest straight up into the center of the image, drastically cutting down travel time for every subsequent color.

Finishing the Remaining Food

Finishing the level smoothly requires holding back the final large peach blocks until the central artwork is nearly gone. The peach background contains a large volume of tiles, but they sit far away from the nest at the very top. By clearing the halo, wings, and face first, your final peach ants do not have to waste time traveling along the long perimeter edges. Instead, they charge straight up the middle of the cleared canvas, rapidly chewing through the remaining ceiling tiles and securing the win before your slots can clog.

The greatest danger on this board stems from the connected blocks in the tray. When you tap a connected pair, you are committing two of your five available slots at the exact same time. If one of those colors cannot reach its matching food tiles because an interior path is blocked, that block will sit completely motionless in your tray. Allowing two dead blocks to occupy your slots leaves you with only three functional spaces, making a game over almost inevitable if another awkward pair appears.

Another frequent pitfall is selecting the hidden mystery boxes before you have enough board visibility. It is tempting to dig aggressively into the tray to reveal what lies beneath the question marks, but doing so without an active exit path can punish you severely. If a mystery box reveals a color that is still locked behind the creature wings or halo, that block becomes dead weight.

To maintain complete control, always prioritize the white body and the dark red feet during the opening sequence. Carving out the interior space ensures that whenever a new color appears, whether from a connected set or an uncovered mystery box, the ants will have an immediate, unobstructed path to their target. Always keep at least two waiting slots open as a safety buffer when revealing new tray layers.

Colony Flow Level 1357 is a rewarding puzzle that tests your ability to handle connected pairs and manage tight waiting spaces. By carving out the white center early, clearing the blocking feet, and saving the massive peach canopy for the final stretch, you can easily guide your ant colony to complete success.
