Colony Flow Level 890 presents a vibrant pixel art challenge shaped like a spiraling rose blossom set over a wide turquoise base. Your goal is to clear out dense layers of pink, red, purple, and yellow petals while carefully navigating restricted keys, locked blocks, and hidden boxes. With only five waiting slots available in your tray, you need precise timing to keep your ant colony moving without clogging your bench.

The puzzle opens with an intricate floral arrangement dominated by a thick outer frame of light pink food tiles. Inside this pink background sits a rose blossom formed from swirling layers of deep red, bright yellow, and rich purple tiles. A central white stem splits the lower portion of the board, resting directly above a solid bed of turquoise tiles along the bottom.

Down in your block tray, the front line is completely filled with five light pink blocks showing counts of 46, 42, 42, 40, and 40. Directly behind that pink wall sit two mystery hidden boxes marked with question marks on the outer edges, flanking a red 2, a light blue 6, and a light green 40. Deeper rows reveal red, dark red, blue, and cyan blocks, alongside special blocks trapped behind padlocks.

Space management is your greatest test on this board. You have only five waiting slots at the top of your tray, meaning any block that cannot immediately send ants to matching food will sit idle and consume valuable room. If all five slots fill with stalled blocks, your run ends on the spot.

Multiple obstacles restrict your path finding from the very first tap. A yellow key sits buried near the core of the red and yellow flower spiral, while a cyan key rests right along the upper edge of the turquoise stem. Each key corresponds to a matching locked block waiting in your supply stack below. Furthermore, a heavy brown hungry door displaying the number 28 guards the bottom right corner of the field, concealing food tiles underneath until its requirement is satisfied. Navigating through the outer pink border is mandatory before you can create open runways to these critical targets.

Begin by tapping the light pink blocks lined up across the front row of your tray. Pink ants immediately march out from the central nest and split along both sides of the board, stripping away the bulky pink border framing the blossom. As these initial pink counts drop rapidly, the tiles shielding the second row vanish. This action reveals the two hidden boxes on the outer flanks and provides clear access to the red, light blue, and light green numbers sitting in the center.

Select the revealed left hidden box, which transforms into a large purple 91 block, and pull the exposed yellow 34 and dark red 19 into your open slots. Purple ants rush into the center of the flower to chew through the tight inner swirl. Meanwhile, yellow and dark red ants attack the outer rings of the blossom. This coordinated assault chips away the petals from three directions at once, creating wide gaps in the flower structure while keeping your waiting slots cycling smoothly.

With the first wave of pink and yellow blocks finishing their counts and clearing from your bench, select the cyan 25 block from your tray. A fresh swarm of cyan ants moves toward the turquoise garden bed at the base of the board. At the same time, allow your active purple and red blocks to continue eating through the middle petals. Stripping away the turquoise tiles on the left side exposes the lower end of the stem and clears a direct path toward the cyan key.

Tap the available red and purple blocks, moving pink 33, red 2, red 4, and purple 41 into your active rotation. Red and purple ants swarm into the inner spiral, eating through the dense core surrounding the yellow key. With the pink background mostly cleared, the ants reach the yellow key and collect it. The key travels down to your tray and removes the yellow padlock, granting you immediate access to the yellow blocks tucked beneath it.

Activate the newly unlocked yellow blocks along with another pink block to clear the remaining petal tips and top corner clusters. You now have purple 26, pink 33, and red 2 running alongside your yellow workers. As the ants consume the turquoise tiles near the central white stem, they grab the cyan key. This releases the cyan padlock on your lower tray blocks and exposes fresh cyan counts, including a cyan 18 and a cyan 34. The central blossom is now nearly dismantled, leaving only thin outer arcs.

Select the light green 40 block along with cyan 18 and remaining pink numbers. Light green ants follow the sweeping outer curve of the blossom, devouring the pale green and yellow fringe along the right side. The remaining pink ants wipe out the isolated squares near the top corners. Clearing these surrounding sections satisfies the clearing threshold on the brown hungry door on the bottom right. The door opens cleanly, uncovering the final cluster of food tiles sealed underneath.

Step 7: Sweep up the remaining red and purple petals

Bring in purple 11, light green 30, and pink 32 to finish off the scattered remnants across the upper half of the board. Your purple and green ants quickly mop up the remaining flecks of the floral pattern, leaving the entire upper canvas clear. Because these numbers are relatively small, they empty out of your waiting slots within seconds, giving you three completely open slots for the final sequence.

Fill your remaining slots with the fresh cyan blocks, picking cyan 19 and cyan 19 to back up the final purple 7. A massive wave of cyan ants sweeps into the bottom right corner, attacking the newly revealed tiles where the hungry door once stood. The ants chew through the dense turquoise formation without hesitation. As the last turquoise tile disappears, the board clears completely and you secure the win.

The critical turning point occurs when you commit to the yellow and purple blocks in Step 2 right after unveiling the purple 91 from the left hidden box. Many players hesitate to take on such a massive purple block so early, but the inner blossom holds more than enough purple tiles to absorb those numbers. Pulling purple and yellow into the waiting slots allows the ants to tunnel directly into the core from opposite sides. That interior tunnel creates the line of sight needed to reach the yellow key, which in turn cascades into unlocking your remaining color pool.

Finishing the Remaining Food

Wrapping up this level depends entirely on saving enough cyan capacity for the final push. The hungry door on the bottom right protects a concentrated patch of turquoise tiles that cannot be touched during the opening minutes. If you burn through all your cyan blocks while opening the stem early on, you will have nothing left to clear that corner once the door vanishes. By pacing your cyan picks and clearing the small purple and green scraps first, you leave two open slots ready to deploy twin cyan 19 blocks for a clean finish.

The primary hazard on this level is overcrowding your five waiting slots with colors that have no open path to their food. When the board begins, almost the entire inner flower is walled off by light pink tiles. If you tap red, yellow, or green blocks before clearing adequate lanes through that pink shell, those colored ants will have nowhere to walk. Those inactive blocks will sit frozen in your tray, paralyzing your options and leaving you with no room to draw the colors you actually need.

Another frequent pitfall involves ignoring the padlocks in your tray. Both the yellow and cyan padlocks lock down vital reserves of high count blocks. You must actively steer your clearing paths toward the yellow key in the center spiral and the cyan key above the stem. If you wander off clearing decorative corners instead of tunneling toward those keys, your available tray choices will dwindle until your slots jam up completely. Always prioritize the food tiles that physically shield those two keys.

Patience and path creation are the secrets to mastering Colony Flow Level 890. Once you strip the protective pink border, focus on claiming the two keys so your locked blocks can enter the fray without delay.
