Colony Flow Level 390 presents a colorful pixel art puzzle featuring an anime style character against a green background that demands careful slot management right from your first tap. Clearing the massive block of bright hair requires an exact opening sequence so your ants do not stall before reaching the embedded keys. The real beauty of this stage lies in how clearing the outer hair smoothly transitions into unraveling the intricate clothing and facial details beneath.

When you load into the board, you see a large pixel portrait of a girl with bright yellow hair, cyan eyes, cream skin, and white and red clothes, set against a dark green background with horizontal light green stripes. The food counter at the top of the hair starts at 198, representing the dense mass of yellow food tiles that dominate the upper half of the picture. Below the play area, you have a nest hole where ants emerge and five empty waiting slots waiting to hold your chosen color blocks. Underneath these slots, your visible queue displays a row of five active blocks containing cream 30, yellow 50, dark green 20, yellow 25, and orange 45. Below that front row sits a deep reserve of blocks, several of which are marked with white question marks indicating hidden boxes that will not reveal their true colors until the tiles blocking them clear away. You can also spot two critical elements embedded directly into the food portrait. A cyan key rests on the left side of the hair, while a yellow key sits on the right. In your tray below, specific blocks show keyhole symbols that remain firmly shut until your ants reach and retrieve those matching keys.

The biggest danger on this stage comes from premature clutter in your five waiting slots. Because the board begins with almost the entire character body and background walled off behind the giant yellow hair and its orange tips, you cannot afford to pick blocks whose colors do not have immediate path access. If you pick the dark green 20 or cream 30 block too early, those blocks will sit completely idle in your waiting slots, taking up valuable space while waiting for accessible food tiles. With only five slots available, leaving two or three spaces blocked by inactive colors leaves you zero room to rotate through the yellow and orange blocks required to carve into the picture. Furthermore, the locked blocks in the lower reserve will stay unusable until your ants eat their way directly to the keys on the upper board. Managing your queue requires opening paths in a very deliberate order, picking only colors that your active ant streams can chew down immediately so your slots stay open and fluid.

Your journey starts by tapping the yellow 50 block from the front row of the tray. This block moves directly into your first waiting slot, and a steady line of bright yellow ants immediately rushes out from the central nest hole up toward the top of the portrait. The ants target the dense yellow hair along the crown, steadily chewing through the outer boundary. As the ants consume the food tiles, the number on your yellow block steadily drops from 50 downward. This opening move establishes your primary supply line into the puzzle and begins exposing the deeper layers of the character. Because yellow food is plentiful and easily reachable along the upper rim, this block starts draining immediately without taking up dead space in your tray. As the crown thins out, adjacent orange fringes become visible and accessible for your next move.

With yellow ants already busy carving into the crown, tap the orange 45 block from the right side of the front row, followed by the orange 25 block as the queue slides forward. Both orange blocks move into your waiting slots. Orange ants instantly pour out from the nest, heading toward the fiery orange tips framing the top and sides of the yellow hair. The orange blocks tick down steadily, dropping to 34 and 25 as the ants clear the outer edges. This dual assault of yellow and orange prevents any ant traffic jams and clears away the protective perimeter. As the orange tiles vanish, they expand the walking paths for your ants, giving them cleaner angles to dig deeper into the center of the hair mass. You now have active ant streams chewing both colors simultaneously, keeping three of your waiting slots active while leaving two slots completely open for future shifts.

As your first yellow block finishes draining and disappears from the waiting tray, immediately bring in the yellow 25 block. Your yellow ants refocus on the right side of the hair, hollowing out a deep circular pocket where the yellow food counter drops from 184 down toward 164. This focused eating action carves an open path directly to the yellow key embedded in the right hair strand. Once the ants consume the adjacent food tiles, the yellow key is collected, instantly releasing the lock on the yellow keyhole block resting in your queue below. Meanwhile, your orange blocks drop down to 11 and finish clearing their targeted border tiles. The board now exhibits a massive opening on the upper right, fully exposing the background boundary and uncovering new food tiles around the face.

With the upper right hair cleared and the yellow key retrieved, you can safely select the dark green block from your tray. Dark green ants stream toward the outer green background tiles along the right and upper edges of the board. The block begins counting down toward 14 while your final single orange ant finishes off the last remaining orange tip. Clearing these green tiles expands the path network around the perimeter of the hair and prevents outer edge blockage. At the same time, yellow ants continue chewing through the remaining strands on the left, approaching the cyan key. The hair counter plunges down to 118, leaving only a thin yellow crest on the far left. The removal of this hair section exposes the character forehead, face, and collar area, unlocking hidden boxes in your tray that reveal cyan, red, and purple blocks.

Now that the character face and torso are fully exposed, tap the cyan block, the red 28 block, the dark purple 12 block, and the light green 5 block in quick succession. Your waiting slots will fill up with these four vibrant colors, but every single one of them has an open, accessible target on the board. Cyan ants dash directly toward the bright blue eyes, red ants swarm the clothing on the lower torso, dark purple ants devour the shadow outlines beneath the chin and along the base, and light green ants start clearing the horizontal accent bars. The food counter quickly drops to 109 as a magnificent rainbow of ant trails converges on the central portrait. Because every color has unobstructed access, all four blocks tick down simultaneously, rapidly clearing out the center of the picture without stalling your waiting slots.

As the red, cyan, and purple blocks empty out and leave your waiting slots, select the white block and the dark green blocks displaying numbers like 6 and 18. White ants charge into the center of the portrait, clearing away the white skin and clothing tiles to leave a wide open white space where the character once sat. Meanwhile, lines of dark green ants march around the entire perimeter, eating away the massive green backdrop along the left, bottom, and right boundaries. The food counter on the board drops to 96, and the hidden boxes at the bottom of the tray flip open to show your final yellow and light green reserve blocks. Your waiting slots hold dark green, a low orange 8, and a yellow 2, all of which are actively draining as your ants sweep across the wide open arena.

Step 7: Finishing the Remaining Stripes to Clear the Board

With the center of the board completely hollowed out, only a few light green stripes and small clusters of yellow tiles remain along the borders. Pull your remaining yellow 24 block and light green 18 block into the tray alongside your final dark green 2 block. Ants rush outward from the nest in steady green and yellow lines, chewing through the scattered horizontal bars across the background. Because the entire central area is clear, the ants travel without any path friction, reaching every last stray pixel instantly. The numbers on your final blocks rapidly count down to zero, the waiting slots empty one by one, and the final green and yellow tiles vanish to complete the level.

The turning point in Colony Flow Level 390 is the disciplined focus on the yellow hair and orange fringe before touching any inner colors. Many players feel tempted to grab early green or cream blocks because they sit in the front row, but doing so clogs your waiting slots with colors that cannot reach their targets behind the hair wall. Focusing entirely on yellow and orange during the first half of the stage carves open the top right corner and secures the yellow key. Collecting that key unlocks the lower tray blocks that are essential for the middle phase. Another vital decision is releasing cyan, red, and purple in one coordinated wave only after the face and torso fully open up. Timing this multi color release ensures that all four waiting slots drain at the same time, preventing a fatal logjam right when the board looks most crowded.

Maintaining continuous ant movement on this stage depends entirely on respecting path accessibility. Ants cannot jump over food tiles of a different color to reach isolated targets. Because the character artwork acts as a solid wall blocking the green background and the interior clothing, every block you select must match the exposed outer boundary of the art. When you send yellow ants into the top hair, they chew out deep pockets that expose the next color layer, such as the orange highlights and the cyan key. Always watch the contact points where your active ant stream is currently feeding. If an ant stream is about to finish eating its color, check the queue below to ensure the newly exposed food color is ready to be deployed into the emptied waiting slot. By chaining your block selections to match the newly revealed food edges, your five waiting slots will always have room to spare.

Pay close attention to the rhythm of block consumption during the opening hair phase. The yellow 50 block takes considerable time to drain completely, which means you should pair it with orange blocks that clear out at a similar pace rather than stacking the tray with colors that have nowhere to go. Always look ahead at the second row of the queue so you know which block will slide forward when a front block is picked. If a hidden box or locked block sits behind a front choice, clearing that front block early helps reveal what you will be working with later.

Keep a close eye on the keys embedded in the portrait. The yellow key on the upper right must be liberated early because it releases critical blocks required for your mid stage transitions. If you notice your ants slowing down or wandering around the perimeter, check whether an uncollected key or an unpicked color is holding up the next layer of food tiles. Remember that you never need to rush your taps. Take a moment between moves to verify that an open lane exists from the central nest hole directly to the matching food tiles before placing any block into your waiting slots.
