colonyflow Level 120

Overview

Level 120 is a Hard six-color stage built around a fried egg picture — a sunny-side-up egg on a red and orange background. Red covers the largest share of the board, followed by orange and brown in the middle layers, with pink, gray and yellow as the smaller accent colors and tiny trace colors scattered on top. The tiles are stacked in layers, so the clearing follows the egg from the outside in: red leaves first, then brown, then pink and gray, then orange, and yellow finishes at the bottom. With a four-minute run and six colors competing for only five queue slots, this is a demanding level that rewards slow, color-by-color clearing rather than rushed tapping.

• Difficulty: Hard
• Estimated moves: 35–50 taps

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Open with red. Red is the outermost background layer of the egg picture, so nothing underneath it can be carried away until the backdrop tiles are gone. Tap the red tile and let the ants begin the very long background clear.
2. Move to brown next. Brown is the egg outline and sits just inside the red layer. Clear it in one push so the egg starts taking shape and the colors beneath show through.
3. Work the pink and gray phases. These middle colors were covered by the outer colors, so they only become reachable now. Clear them one at a time in continuous pushes and use the 2x speed-up button to shorten the wait.
4. Work orange next. Orange is the yolk area and was covered by the brighter colors, so it only becomes reachable in the middle of the level. Clear orange in one push.
5. Clear the trace colors (blue, black, cyan, green) as they are exposed. These small accents hide inside the picture, and the efficient play is to spend free queue slots on them immediately so they never block a slot during the long red push.
6. Finish with yellow. Yellow is the bottom layer of the picture, so it only becomes reachable at the very end. Sweep it in bulk; since it is the final color, it is safe to fill the queue with yellow and let the ants finish the board. The egg disappears completely and the level-complete overlay with five white input slots appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

The removal order is dictated by the layer geometry: red covers the backdrop, brown sits on the outline layer, and yellow is the bottom layer, so the sequence red → brown → pink → gray → orange → yellow keeps the ants on reachable tiles. Red is the strategic bottleneck — it is the largest single area, and the correct play is to give it a long uninterrupted run while using spare queue slots for the small trace colors. Because this is a Hard level, the worst mistake is pushing two large colors at once, which leaves no room for small colors and forces waiting. Slow down, clear color by color in batches, and save Magnet and Lightning only for rescuing a jammed queue.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Rushing mixed taps on a Hard level jams the five slots and stalls the board. Clear one color at a time and wait for the ants to catch up.
• Ignoring the small trace colors until the queue is full leaves an unmatchable tile blocking the line. Clear every exposed accent immediately with a free slot.
• Opening a "?" tile while the queue is full can block the line. Open unknown tiles only when a queue slot is free.
