colonyflow Level 147

Overview

Level 147 features a round character with a red hat and a white face, set against an orange background. Two wooden chests cover the lower portion of the board: a large one marked 60 on the left and a small one marked 5 on the right. The portrait uses a broad mix of orange, red, white, and blue tiles, so the queue moves through several distinct color groups rather than one dominant color. The small chest opens quickly, while the large one paces the level until the middle section. Finishing requires both chests open and the full character, including its blue base, completely tiled.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 34

Step-by-Step Solution

1. First, read the two chest counters and locate the main color regions: the orange background, the red hat and details, the white face, and the blue base. This gives you a clear order for the work ahead.

1. Release the smallest available numbered blocks from the opening queue, which includes values such as 30, 11, 33, and 50. Tapping in ascending order sends ants to the exposed orange background and the top of the red hat.

1. Prioritize the orange background early, since it is fully exposed and surrounds the whole portrait. These tiles also reduce the nearby chest counters as the ants travel across the board.

1. Open the small chest marked 5 as soon as possible. It needs only a few deliveries, and once it opens it exposes a small cluster on the right side that should be filled immediately before the ants move on.

1. Continue feeding the large chest marked 60 with the blocks that surround it. The orange and red blocks near its position drive the counter down, so release them in numbered order and watch the number decrease rather than switching focus elsewhere.

1. Use the red blocks to build the hat and the small red details around the face. The hat is a solid region, so these blocks can be released in a steady batch once the background is underway.

1. Place the white blocks for the face as those cells become reachable. The face is the clearest central feature, and finishing it early makes the remaining red and blue details easy to identify.

1. When the large chest finally reaches zero, clear the tiles it was covering right away. These include part of the lower body and the blue base, so they are among the final cells on the board.

1. Finish the blue base and any remaining edge tiles, then wait for the last ants to deliver. The level completes only when both chests are open and the full character is visible from the red hat down to the blue base.

Strategy & Reasoning

The two chests create a clear priority order. The small chest is a quick win that opens useful cells almost immediately, while the large chest is a sustained target that should be reduced by every nearby delivery rather than attacked in isolation. Working the exposed orange background first is efficient because it fills the largest region and contributes to the chest counters at the same time.

Leaving the large chest for last would force the ants to cover long distances across an already finished board, and skipping the small chest would leave a blocked cluster that interrupts the final color groups. Matching each block to its region and opening chests as soon as their counters hit zero keeps the delivery paths short and predictable.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not forget the small chest marked 5; it opens quickly and exposes cells that are easiest to fill while the ants are already nearby.
• Do not finish the face and hat before the large chest is open, or the lower body and blue base will remain blocked and force extra back-and-forth.
• Do not stop when the character looks nearly complete; confirm both chests are open and the blue base at the bottom is fully tiled.
