colonyflow Level 67

Overview

Level 67 is a Normal five-color stage whose target picture is a pixel-art Batman: a yellow body (about 48% of tiles), a red background (about 19%), pink details (about 16%), a blue mask and cape (about 9%), and orange details (about 8%), with tiny cyan, gray, brown, purple and black trace accents. The goal is to clear every tile by tapping the number tiles at the bottom so ants carry each color away. Because the tiles are stacked, the yellow body must leave first, then the pink details, with the red background, blue mask and orange details finishing as the inner layers.

• Difficulty: Regular (Normal)
• Estimated moves: 25–40 taps

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Start by tapping the yellow tile. Yellow is Batman's body and sits on the outermost layer, so it is reachable immediately. This is the largest single area on the board, so this is the long opening stretch. Keep the queue pointed at yellow in batches and use the 2x speed-up button in the top-right corner to shorten the wait.
2. While the yellow carry is running, clear the tiny cyan, gray, brown, purple and black trace tiles opportunistically. They become reachable as the body comes off; tapping them whenever a slot opens keeps the ants busy without blocking a slot.
3. When yellow is mostly gone, tap the pink tile. Pink forms small details on the picture and was covered by the body, so it only becomes reachable now. Keep the queue pointed at pink in one continuous push and keep an eye on the queue.
4. Next, tap the red tile. Red is the background panel behind Batman and is exposed only after pink finishes. Sweep red in a moderate push, keeping spare slots free.
5. Then tap the blue tile. Blue is Batman's mask and cape; it becomes reachable once red is gone. Clear blue in small batches.
6. Finish with the orange tile. Orange forms Batman's details — the bottom layer — so it is the last color to be exposed. Because it is final, the queue can safely be filled with orange to speed up the finish.
7. Keep the five-slot queue under active control: with five main colors plus trace accents sharing five slots, push one main color plus at most one small color at a time, finish a color before starting the next, and never jam all five slots with mixed colors.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level is built around the layered-stacking rule: a color that covers others must be carried away first, and the removal order measured in the solution video is yellow, pink, red, blue, orange, which matches the geometry of Batman. Clearing the yellow body before the pink details matters because it sits on top; tapping pink first would leave that body buried. The queue is the bottleneck — five main colors plus trace accents share only five slots, and the worst mistake is pushing yellow and red at the same time, which leaves no room for the small traces and forces waiting. The efficient play is to alternate the large yellow body carry with the small pink, red and trace colors so the ants are almost never idle. The 2x speed-up button should be active for the long yellow body carry, since that single step accounts for most of the level's waiting time. If the queue jams, the Magnet tool pulls one whole color out of the line, while the Eraser is reserved for a single stuck tile.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Tapping the red background before the yellow body and pink details are gone is the classic mistake. The background tiles are still covered, so the ants have no path to them; always clear the body and details first.
• Running yellow and red at the same time jams the five-slot queue and strands the small traces. Finish yellow completely before starting red.
• Ignoring the tiny cyan, gray, brown, purple and black traces leaves slots blocked for no reason. Clear them opportunistically whenever a slot is free, instead of saving them all to the end.
