Colony Flow Level 1990 presents an intricate pixel art puzzle shaped like a vibrant blue rabbit face framed by a massive pink background and detailed outlines. You need to manage tight pathing from the central nest while coordinating key pickups to release locked blocks in your tray. With five waiting slots and a pair of connected boxes waiting down below, careful block selection is the only way to avoid a complete gridlock.
Colony Flow Level 1990 Board Breakdown
Starting Colors and Blocks
The starting board displays a detailed rabbit character featuring a light blue and cyan face, dark blue eye outlines, green ear accents, red lips, and a curved purple collar. Surrounding this portrait is an expansive light pink background containing letter shapes and accent marks. At the beginning of the level, the accessible perimeter exposes small clusters of pink, red, black, dark green, and light blue.
In your lower tray, the initial active row shows black 11, red 14, dark green 16, blue 18, and black 13. Directly behind this front line sits a deep reserve of blocks including red 7, pink 26, magenta 17, green 11, purple 11, teal 31, pink 42, light blue 13, and several other stacked options. Because the central nest sends ants out along the outer edges first, only blocks matching exposed perimeter tiles can work immediately.
Paths, Obstacles, and Limited Space
The primary limitation on this level is the strict five slot waiting area. If you tap blocks whose colors have no clear pathway from the nest, those blocks sit idle in your waiting slots. Filling all five slots without an active ant flow causes an instant defeat.
Two major obstacles dictate your move order. First, Lock and Key mechanics appear on the board and in your tray. Yellow and cyan keys are embedded directly into the pixel food art near the ears and background. Reaching those keys sends an unlock sequence down to the matching lock blocks in your queue. Second, a pair of Connected Boxes sits deeper in the queue. These two linked blocks occupy two waiting slots at the same time and must find matching food together to clear cleanly. You must open wide pathways through the outer pink border before attempting to cycle those heavy linked blocks.
Colony Flow Level 1990 Complete Solution
Step 1: Open the Lower Perimeter with Black and Red
Tap black 11 from the front row to summon black ants toward the exposed boundary lines at the bottom of the portrait. Next, select red 14 to target the exposed mouth tiles. These initial picks clear immediate blockages around the nest exit and expose the inner light blue chin.
Follow up by tapping dark green 16 and blue 18. Green ants head toward the lower ear tips and side accents, while blue ants begin nibbling the lower edges of the face. Bringing these early colors into play frees up the front row of your tray and prevents any single block from stalling in your waiting slots.
Step 2: Deploy Pink to Consume the Background
With the lower borders loosened, select the large pink blocks including pink 26 and the large pink reserve block. Pink ants immediately march around the outer rim of the canvas, chewing away at the massive background field and the pink lettering above the ears.
Clearing these outer pink tiles does two crucial things. It creates wide perimeter corridors for ants to navigate around the entire board, and it exposes the yellow key sitting near the upper left ear. Watch your pink counter drop steadily while keeping at least two waiting slots open for utility picks.
Step 3: Collect the Yellow Key to Free the First Lock
Tap light blue 13 and green 11 as they slide forward in your tray. The light blue ants surge into the chin and cheeks, opening up the passage leading upward toward the rabbit ears.
As the pink and green ants strip away the tiles surrounding the top left section, the yellow key becomes accessible. Ants collect the key, immediately triggering the yellow lock block sitting in your tray. This unlocked block reveals fresh color choices beneath it, including orange and purple blocks that were previously blocked from view.
Step 4: Sweep the Purple Collar and Orange Accents
Now that the lower right side has open pathing, select orange 23 and purple 11. Purple ants march along the curved bottom right collar, rapidly taking down the purple strip that borders the face.
Orange ants tackle the small decorative food clusters scattered along the side margins. Because purple and orange have relatively small tile counts, these blocks clear out of your waiting slots quickly, restoring your open space just as heavier blocks begin rolling into your active tray.
Step 5: Secure the Cyan Key and Clear Facial Contours
Tap teal 20 and dark green 12 to sustain the assault on the upper head and ear tips. As the green ants finish eating the ear structure, they touch the cyan key embedded near the top edge.
Collecting the cyan key unlocks the cyan lock block in your lower reserve. Clearing this lock exposes high value light blue blocks and brings you closer to the linked pair of connected boxes waiting further down the tray.
Step 6: Process the Connected Purple and Blue Boxes
The connected purple and blue boxes now slide into your active selection zone. Tap them together so they move into two adjacent waiting slots.
Purple ants instantly stream toward the remaining purple collar remnants, while blue ants attack the dark blue eye outlines and facial framing. Because you cleared the surrounding light blue cheek tiles earlier, both colors have direct, unobstructed lines to their food. Both halves of the connected box decrease their numbers in parallel, clearing the pair out of your slots without clogging your reserve.
Step 7: Clear the Final Features and Background Residue
With the connected boxes resolved, you have four to five open waiting slots. Tap light blue 80 to send a massive swarm into the rabbit forehead and cheeks. The entire light blue face dissolves as ants consume the main mass of the pixel art.
Finish the level by selecting the remaining small pink and black blocks, including pink 1 and light pink 8. These final ants clean up the isolated pink fragments at the top edge of the board, officially clearing every food tile and winning the stage.
Key Moments in Colony Flow Level 1990
The Move That Opens Up the Board
The critical turning point occurs when you commit the large pink blocks in the early game. Many players hesitate to pull high number blocks early because they occupy a waiting slot for a long time. However, the pink background acts as a physical wall that wraps around the entire portrait. Unleashing the pink ants tears down this outer wall, creating unobstructed highways from the nest to the top ears, the yellow key, and the upper lettering. Without this move, your other colors bottleneck around the mouth and lower chin.
Finishing the Remaining Food
The endgame requires handling the large light blue tile count alongside the connected purple and blue boxes. The winning strategy relies on holding back your final light blue picks until the dark blue outlines and purple accents are ready to be eaten. If you clear the light blue too early, you risk drawing the connected boxes when their matching purple food is unreachable behind other tiles. By synchronizing the connected boxes with the final face outline, the double block vanishes cleanly, leaving only harmless light blue and pink scraps to sweep up at the end.
How to Avoid Getting Stuck on Level 1990
The biggest danger on this level is prematurely pulling blocks that target the center of the face before the perimeter is cleared. If you pull high value light blue or yellow blocks while the outer borders are still sealed, those ants have no path to reach their food. The blocks will sit dormant in your five waiting slots, choking your board and leaving you with no room to draw the necessary keys or clearing colors.
Another common pitfall involves the connected boxes. Linked blocks take up two full waiting slots on their own. If you already have three unfinished blocks lingering in your waiting area when the connected pair enters, your tray becomes completely locked. You must deliberately empty your waiting slots down to just one or two active blocks before you touch the connected pair.
Always monitor the locks in your queue. Tapping colors that clear paths toward the yellow and cyan keys must always take priority over picking random colors that simply look convenient. A locked block sitting in your tray prevents all the blocks beneath it from advancing. Keep your eyes on the key locations on the pixel canvas and guide your ant paths directly toward them.
Final Thoughts
Beating Colony Flow Level 1990 comes down to opening the pink perimeter early, securing both keys in the proper sequence, and saving ample slot room for the connected purple and blue boxes. Once those linked boxes clear, the remaining light blue face and pink accents fall quickly.
