colonyflow Level 132

Overview

Level 132 is a Normal six-color stage built around a giraffe picture — a yellow and orange giraffe on a cyan background. Yellow covers nearly half the board, followed by orange and cyan in the middle layers, with red, green and blue as the smaller accent colors and tiny trace colors scattered on top. The tiles are stacked in layers, so the clearing follows the giraffe from the outside in: green leaves first, then yellow, then cyan, then red, then blue, and orange finishes at the bottom. With six colors competing for only five queue slots, disciplined queue switching is the whole challenge.

• Difficulty: Regular (Normal)
• Estimated moves: 25–35 taps

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Open with green. Green is the outermost grass layer of the giraffe picture, so nothing underneath it can be carried away until the grass tiles are gone. Tap the green tile and let the ants start the outer clear.
2. Move to yellow next. Yellow is the giraffe body and covers nearly half the board, so this is the long stretch of the level. Tap yellow, use the 2x speed-up button to shorten the repeated waiting, and keep the queue from filling with any second color while the ants run.
3. Work the cyan phase. Cyan is the sky background and was covered by the outer colors, so it only becomes reachable now. Clear cyan in one continuous push and keep an eye on the queue.
4. Work red next. Red spots were covered by the brighter colors, so they only become reachable in the middle of the level. Clear red in one push.
5. Work blue next. Blue accents were covered by the brighter colors, so they only become reachable now. Clear blue in one push.
6. Clear the trace colors (brown, gray, pink, black) as they are exposed. These small accents hide inside the giraffe, and the efficient play is to spend free queue slots on them immediately so they never block a slot during the long yellow push.
7. Finish with orange. Orange is the bottom layer of the giraffe, 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 orange and let the ants finish the board. The giraffe disappears completely and the level-complete overlay with five white input slots appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

The removal order is dictated by the layer geometry: green covers the grass, yellow sits on the giraffe body, and orange is the bottom layer, so the sequence green → yellow → cyan → red → blue → orange keeps the ants on reachable tiles. Yellow is the strategic bottleneck — it is nearly half the board, and the correct play is to give it a long uninterrupted run while using spare queue slots for the small trace colors. Running yellow and cyan at the same time fills the five slots and stalls the ants. The speed-up button should stay active for the whole yellow phase, and tools like Magnet and Lightning exist only to rescue a jammed queue.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Running yellow and cyan at the same time jams the five slots and stalls the board. Finish the body before starting the sky.
• 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.
• Forgetting the speed-up button on the long yellow phase wastes time. Keep the 2x speed active for the whole main clear.
