To clear Level 1070 (Super Hard) in Colony Flow!, establish long-distance perimeter connections first before routing paths through the central grid. Linking outer corner nodes along the edges of the board keeps internal spaces open, preventing board congestion and early dead ends.
Edge-to-Center Routing Sequence
To solve the board without trapping remaining color connections, execute your moves in this order:
- Identify color nodes located in the extreme corners of the grid.
- Connect these corner nodes using the outermost edges of the board to create an open central frame.
- Keep paths away from the board's interior until the outer perimeter connections are fully set.
- Route any path that must cross the grid along the outermost open edge.
- Use snaking patterns—weaving lines through open grid squares—to clear central intersections without crossing existing lines.
Strategy Breakdown and Trade-Offs
Prioritizing perimeter pathing changes board management. Consider how each approach affects grid space:
| Strategy | Primary Benefit | Risk / Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|
| Perimeter-First Routing | Keeps the center open for dense, short-range connections | Consumes large grid areas, potentially trapping unconnected colors |
| Direct Central Routing | Quickly links adjacent nodes in tight clusters | Crowds the board early and risks crossing lines or creating dead ends |
Failure Signals and When to Reset
Level 1070 allows very little room for pathing errors due to high node density. Reset the board if you encounter these failure points:
- Early Line Intersections: If drawing a path forces a line to cross another route, the path sequence is incorrect.
- Islanding: Long routes that hug interior squares can isolate unconnected nodes, leaving them without an open path to their matching destination.
- Rigid Board Lock: Setting direct routes too early frequently blocks necessary diagonal or central channels needed for secondary colors.
If a path cuts off an unconnected node, reset the level immediately and reroute your long-range paths along the outermost perimeter squares.

This saved me time in the early game.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
