To clear Level 564 in Colony Flow!, focus your first moves on clearing the middle grid before trying to connect outer colored paths. Because ant lines cannot cross each other, leaving central cubes intact creates tight bottlenecks that trap units in corners and block longer paths across the board.
Clearing Central Grid Congestion
The compact board layout of Level 564 places cubes in the middle that act as physical barriers between color sources and their destination holes on opposite sides. Leaving these central obstacles untouched forces your ant lines into narrow peripheral lanes that eventually block one another.
Focus your opening matches on the middle section to unlock horizontal and vertical movement across the grid. Once central space is clear, your ants can cross the board freely without cutting off future routes.
Order of Operations for Path Routing
Because active ant paths block open space, the order in which you route each color determines whether the board remains playable.
| Path Type | Priority | Execution Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Perimeter Paths | High (First) | Send ants along outer board edges to keep middle grid lanes open for later moves. |
| Corner / Pinch Points | High (Early) | Target cubes trapped deep in corners before filled grid space makes them unreachable. |
| Short Central Paths | Low (Last) | Complete direct lines across the newly cleared middle space after perimeter lines are set. |
When building routes, keep paths as straight as possible. Avoid jagged or zig-zagging lines, which consume unnecessary grid tiles and create artificial dead ends. Always prioritize path continuity over simply clearing matching color clusters; clearing a cluster is harmful if the resulting line cuts off a remaining color.
Step-by-Step Level 564 Execution
Follow this sequence to solve the grid without tangling your ant lines:
- Map the board: Pause before making your first move to trace each color's source and destination, identifying which paths must take outer routes.
- Clear central blockers: Remove middle grid cubes to create open movement lanes across both axes.
- Route deep corner units: Clear cubes tucked behind obstacles or in narrow pinch points early while grid space is available.
- Establish perimeter lines: Send your longest routes around the outer boundary of the board.
- Connect short center lines: Route remaining direct lines straight through the cleared middle space.
- Reset on path crossovers: If two colored lines intersect or lock out a remaining cube, restart the stage immediately to preserve move efficiency.
