Colony Flow Level 970 gives you a colorful balloon dog picture that demands careful tray management right from your opening move. You face a crowded board where bright pink, red, and purple tiles form the dog while green grass and a solid blue border surround the scene. A purple Hungry Door guards the bottom left corner, forcing you to feed it fifty counts before you can fully clear that section. Your goal is to keep your five waiting slots moving so the colony never gets trapped without an open path.
Colony Flow Level 970 Overview
What You Are Working With
The picture on this board is an intricate balloon dog sculpture crafted from magenta, deep red, bright pink, and purple food tiles. White highlights run along the curves of the limbs and snout to give the balloon animal its signature rounded shape. Beneath the paws of the dog lies a thick patch of bright green grass tiles that rests along the bottom edge of the frame. Four yellow four point star sparkles sit scattered across the white background, adding extra color requirements across the upper half of the board. Wrapping around the entire perimeter of the image is a solid frame of blue tiles that seals the picture inside.
Down at the lower left of the canvas sits a large Hungry Door made of wood with metal corners and a purple circular seal showing the number fifty. This door prevents ants from accessing the tiles behind it until you feed it fifty purple counts. In your tray below the ant nest, you have columns of numbered blocks topped with white, green, red, pink, yellow, and purple squares. Several blocks lower in the columns are Connected Boxes, which are linked across columns by solid blue bridge pipes. When you pull one side of a connected pair, both linked blocks must enter the waiting area together, so you have to track your available waiting slots before tapping them.
What It Takes to Clear Level 970 Board
Clearing this level requires balancing two distinct ant flows throughout the run. You must clear food from the picture while simultaneously feeding fifty purple units into the Hungry Door to remove it from the canvas. The biggest danger on this board is loading purple blocks when no purple tiles on the dog are reachable, or filling your five waiting slots with colors that cannot path to their target food. If all five waiting slots fill up with blocks whose ants cannot reach valid food tiles, the ants stall, the tray jams, and you lose instantly.
To win, you must open wide corridors through the green grass and the white sky early. Stripping those open gives your ants access to the inner layers of the balloon dog, the yellow sparkles, and the blue outer frame. You also need to plan your tray pulls around the Connected Boxes so you do not accidentally flood your waiting rack with blue blocks before the blue border has a clear runway. Once you clear the grass, open the frame, chew through the balloon dog body, and feed the final points to the Hungry Door, your ants clean up the last pixels and complete the stage.
Colony Flow Level 970 Step by Step Solution
Step 1: Open the lower board by pulling green and white blocks to feed the grass and sky
Begin the stage by tapping the green twenty one block and the white twenty five block from the top of your tray. Green ants burst from the nest hole and immediately swarm the green grass at the base of the balloon dog, while white ants march upward to chew into the white background canvas. Because the grass tiles sit right next to the nest opening, the green ants clear out their food with zero delay, quickly dropping the counter on your green block. As those green tiles disappear, they carve out open walking lanes directly toward the paws and belly of the dog. Meanwhile, the white block chips away at the neutral background to the right of the dog, widening the corridor toward the upper stars. Keep an eye on your waiting slots as these first two blocks cycle down. You now have plenty of open board surface, ensuring that your next color choices will always find a clear path to march.
Step 2: Draw red and pink blocks to carve into the body of the balloon dog
With the grass partially removed, tap the red twenty block and the pink twenty five block into your waiting slots. Red and pink ants charge up into the newly exposed hind legs, tail, and torso of the balloon animal. The red block counts down quickly from twenty toward zero as the ants digest the darker segments of the balloon shape. The pink ants lock onto the brighter magenta highlights across the center ribs and belly. This action hollows out the middle of the picture, turning what was once a dense wall of pixels into multiple open paths that branch into the upper quadrant. Do not pull any purple blocks yet, because the purple tiles on the dog are still wedged behind pink pixels, and the Hungry Door requires a steady, unobstructed stream. Watch your numbers tumble into the single digits, and wait until at least two waiting slots empty completely before you reach back into your tray.
Step 3: Direct purple ants into the Hungry Door while clearing mid section tiles
Now that your waiting rack has breathing room and open paths lead straight toward the bottom left, pull a purple twenty block from the tray. Purple ants stream out of the nest and march directly into the Hungry Door. Watch the number fifty on the wooden door drop to forty two, then down into the thirties as the purple counter ticks down. At the same time, pull a white block and a green block to maintain flow across other sections of the picture. The green ants polish off the remaining patches of grass near the bottom right, while the white ants continue eating away the backdrop behind the dog neck. By running purple ants into the door while green and white ants clear outer terrain, you ensure that no color ever blocks another stream. The Hungry Door count sinks steadily toward thirty, and your waiting slots stay lean with two to three open bays at all times.
Step 4: Handle connected boxes in your tray to unleash blue ants along the outer border
As you dig deeper into your columns, the blue Connected Boxes joined by solid blue pipes reach the top of the stack. Tap the connected pair to draw both blue twenty two blocks into your waiting rack at the same exact moment. Blue ants instantly swarm out from the nest and race up toward the outer perimeter of the picture. They latch onto the thick blue border framing the canvas, eating along the left, top, and right outer edges. Because the blue frame surrounds the entire board, blue ants have dozens of valid targets, allowing both blocks to count down simultaneously at rapid speed. Pull a red block to clean out the neck of the balloon dog while the blue ants travel around the perimeter. The blue frame dissolves into open space, giving your entire colony full freedom of movement across the top edge of the board.
Step 5: Clean up the yellow sparkles and reduce the Hungry Door to zero
With the outer frame cracked open, tap the yellow ten block from the tray. Yellow ants rush into the open sky and begin eating the four point star sparkles floating in the upper canvas. While those yellow stars disappear, drop another purple block into your rack. Purple ants immediately surge back toward the lower left corner where the Hungry Door is now hovering around five remaining counts. As your purple block finishes counting down, the door reaches zero and vanishes completely from the canvas, clearing the entire bottom left corner of the board. The yellow block wraps up its countdown as the last sparkle tiles vanish, leaving your waiting rack almost completely empty. You have now neutralized the main blocker on the board, and every remaining tile on the canvas is completely exposed.
Step 6: Finish the remaining head pixels and top border tiles to win
Look at what remains on your board to plan your closing sequence. Only the snout, ears, and forehead of the balloon dog remain, along with a thin scatter of white border tiles at the very top. Pull a red block and a purple block to tackle the final cluster of dog pixels. Red ants strip away the snout and jaw, while purple ants consume the top of the head and the tall balloon ears. Once those colored tiles vanish, send in your final white block to clean up the last few neutral pixels along the top rim. The white ants sweep across the upper edge, the counter reaches zero, and the board clears out completely for the win.
Final Thought
Colony Flow Level 970 tests your ability to feed a demanding Hungry Door without letting your waiting rack choke on unplayable colors. Staying patient with your purple blocks until pathways opened up was the secret to keeping your ants moving smoothly.
