Stuck on one of the Pixel Flow hard levels? According to Google’s autocomplete, the levels players search for most are 555, 900, 775, 682, 139, 693, 316 and 875. Most of them are flagged as hard by the game itself. In the walkthrough videos for 139, 316, 555, 775 and 900, the level banner and booster bar turn red, and on 693 and 875 they turn purple. Two of the eight boards, 316 and 693, have been swapped for new pictures in updates, so an old video may show a different puzzle. Below you’ll find what makes each board tricky, two video solutions per level, a solving order that works on any board, and what coins, lives and the four boosters cost you.

Quick answer
- Send the colors on the outside first. In the walkthrough videos, pigs on the conveyor hit the exposed cubes of their own color facing the belt. Colors buried in the middle of the picture are wasted until the outer layers are gone.
- Never fill all five waiting slots. A pig with ammo left after a lap parks in one of the five slots. Once those are full, you’re out of room. Keep at least one slot free on hard boards.
- Read the “?” pigs before you commit. Mystery pigs only show their color once they reach the front of a column. The layout is the same every time you replay a level, so note what each one turned out to be.
- Free keys early. On key-and-lock levels, the locked pigs in the queue stay locked until you clear the key from the picture. One App Store reviewer stuck on level 469 says a 900-coin unlock was the only way out once the right pigs ran out.
- Save coins for red levels. A win pays 40 coins, or 80 if you watch an ad. Reviewers say continuing after a fail costs 900 coins, which is more than 11 ad-doubled wins.
- Check that the board matches yours before you copy a video, especially on 316 and 693.

How Pixel Flow! levels work
Loom Games’ App Store description sums up the loop. A pixel picture made of colored cubes sits in the middle of the screen, with a conveyor belt running around it. Below it are five waiting slots and columns of pigs.
- Tap a pig at the front of a column. It jumps onto the conveyor and rains balls onto cubes of its own color as it rides around the picture.
- The number above its head is its ammo, the number of hits it makes. A pig that runs out of ammo leaves the stage.
- A pig that still has ammo after its lap drops into one of the five waiting slots. Tap it again to send it back onto the belt for another round.
- The conveyor has a capacity. The counter next to the belt’s entry starts at 5/5 in Loom Games’ screenshots. Push past the limit and you have to wait for space.
- Clear every cube and you win. Walkthrough videos show a 40-coin reward screen with an option to double it to 80 by watching an ad.
Later boards add more pieces, and the walkthrough videos show plenty of them. Mystery pigs are purple with a “?” and hide their color. Linked pigs are joined by a bar or rope, and Loom Games’ own level 125 screenshot shows two black 40s linked together. Locked pigs carry a padlock and need a key from the picture. Numbered blocks include wooden crates, ice sheets and solid blocks with a count (10 on level 555, 60 on level 682). Going by the videos, the count drops as pigs hit the block, and the cubes behind it stay protected until it’s gone. Colored tube pieces wrap around some pictures, such as the mandala on level 139.
A solving order that works on any board
- Count the colors on the edge of the picture. Those are the only pigs that will hit anything right now. A pig whose color sits deep inside just rides around and ends up in a waiting slot.
- Look one row down in each column. Sending a pig reveals what’s behind it. Prefer a move that also uncovers a pig you’ll need next, or turns a “?” into a known color.
- Treat the waiting slots as your lives. In the videos, the slot row lights up red when it’s full. On red and purple levels, stop at three or four parked pigs and let the belt empty before you send more.
- Don’t overload the belt. Two or three pigs of the same color on the belt at once split the same exposed cubes between them, and both come back with ammo left. One App Store reviewer says sending more pigs than you have free slots can pay off when you know a color will run out mid-lap. Treat it as a gamble, not a default.
- Open keys and numbered blocks early. Locks and crates gate the rest of the board. Reviewers who hit walls on levels like 469 and 699 describe running out of the right pigs for the last lock.
- Replay with a plan. One App Store reviewer says paying attention to the queue order and replaying levels is what gets them through. You’ll know where the mystery pigs sit on the second try.
Boosters, coins and lives
A row of four booster buttons sits below the pig columns, each with a counter showing how many you hold. Loom Games doesn’t publish a booster guide, so here’s what the icons in its own screenshots show:
| Button | Icon | What it appears to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A slot with a “+” | Adds room, going by the icon (most likely an extra waiting slot) |
| 2 | A pointing hand | Lets you pick a pig directly, going by the icon |
| 3 | Two circular arrows | Shuffles the pig columns |
| 4 | A pig | A special helper pig; Loom Games hasn’t described what it does |
The bigger issue is the economy. App Store reviewers agree on the numbers: a win pays 40 coins (80 with an ad), continuing after a fail costs 900 coins, and running out of lives means watching an ad per life or waiting. One reviewer says the shop sells boosters only for real money. Another, at level 770, found that coins add up fast enough and says most hard levels fall within about 10 tries once you change your approach. The US App Store lists these top in-app purchases (checked October 26, 2026):
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| 1K Gold | $1.99 |
| Fail Offer | $5.99 |
| 5K Gold / No Ads | $7.99 each |
| Small Bundle / Golden Pass | $9.99 each |
| 10K Gold | $14.99 |
| Medium Bundle | $19.99 |
| 25K Gold | $29.99 |
| Ultra Bundle | $34.99 |
The game needs an internet connection: reviewers say it pauses in airplane mode, so offline play won’t skip the ads between levels.
Spooky Season runs October 26 to November 2, 2026 (08:00 UTC), per the Google Play event card. Image: Loom Games
Spooky Season event (October 26 to November 2)
Pixel Flow! is running a Halloween event right now. Its Google Play event card lists “Spooky Season” from October 26, 2026, 08:00 UTC to November 2, 08:00 UTC: “Explore a haunted galaxy and eerie forest, earn balls, and uncover spooky rewards.” The event doesn’t change the numbered levels below. Reviewers also mention two other modes that put a run at risk: the Fire Quest tournament and the lava challenge. Both count a closed or refreshed app as a fail. One reviewer says a crash mid-run cost them a life and locked them out of Fire Quest for 30 minutes. Finish a Fire Quest level before you switch apps.
Pixel Flow hard levels: video solutions
These are the most-searched levels, according to Google’s autocomplete on October 26. The “Banner” column shows the level banner color in the walkthrough videos we checked. Purple matches the levels that video makers title “Hard” (875) and red matches those titled “Very Hard” (316, 900). Loom Games’ own “Challenge yourself” screenshot shows a pig face split purple and red. The board notes describe what those videos show.
| Level | Banner | What makes it tricky | Video solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 139 | Red | A big mandala flower in many colors, ringed by green and yellow tube pieces. Locked pigs show up deeper in the queue, and the belt fills up fast | CherieGaming, Daisy Gaming |
| 316 | Red | Current board: two umbrellas in the rain between colored pillars. Older videos show a rose in a hand with keys and padlocks, the board this level used to have | Peppermint Games (Umbrellas), Dizzy’s games (Very Hard) |
| 555 | Red | Pink and purple shapes above a row of wooden crates with a 10 count. Autocomplete calls it “very hard” | Floras Gaming, Peppermint Games |
| 682 | Blue in the newest video | An ice sheet marked 60 covers most of the picture (a suitcase, per Peppermint Games), with a crate row along the top. Lots of 20-ammo pink pigs, mystery pigs behind them | CherieGaming, Peppermint Games |
| 693 | Purple | Changed in updates: spring videos show a blue-and-white picture with tan shapes, and the newest (three weeks old) shows a butterfly on an old TV between purple pillars. Packed with linked pigs | Peppermint Games (Butterfly on TV), Floras Gaming (older board) |
| 775 | Red | A tree on a hilltop with a small red figure, a sun and white clouds. Rows of mystery pigs under the first row, several linked pairs, and a 40-ammo blue pig | CherieGaming, Luda Games |
| 875 | Purple | A couple hugging under a night sky and moon, inside a framed border. Mystery and linked pigs from the second row on | CherieGaming, Puzzle Game Answer |
| 900 | Red | A helmeted warrior in front of clouds and temple columns. One of the longest boards here: CherieGaming’s solution runs 15:37 | CherieGaming, Puzzle Game Answer (Very Hard) |
Most of these videos are several months old, and Loom Games ships updates every week or two (nine iOS versions since September 16). One App Store reviewer at level 770 also says some levels around 500, 600 and 700 repeat earlier boards. Compare the picture and the first row of pigs before you copy a sequence move for move.

Level-by-level tips
Pixel Flow level 555
The crate row with its 10 count sits in the middle of the picture and blocks the cubes behind it. In the videos, players work on the pink and purple shapes around it while the count drops, and the lower part only opens once the crates are gone. Keep two slots free for the high-ammo pigs that come back after a lap.
Pixel Flow level 900
This one is about stamina, not a single trick. The warrior’s grey helmet and the white clouds hold the biggest single-color areas. Send those pigs while their cubes face the belt, and hold the small accent colors (red, yellow, green) for later laps.
Pixel Flow level 775
Two rows of mystery pigs sit right under the first row. Spend your first moves on pigs that reveal “?” pigs, not just the ones that hit the most cubes. Linked pigs appear to travel as a pair, so check you have slot space for both.
Pixel Flow level 682
Going by the videos, the 60-count ice sheet has to come down before most of the picture can be hit. Use the high-ammo pinks to work through it, and don’t burn a booster before the picture underneath is exposed.

What does the red or purple banner mean in Pixel Flow?
It marks a harder level. Going by the videos, purple matches levels labeled “Hard” and red matches “Very Hard”. Expect more mystery pigs, locks and numbered blocks on those boards.
Is Pixel Flow! pay to win?
It’s free to play, but hard levels push you toward boosters and continues. A continue costs 900 coins and a win pays 40 (80 with an ad), according to reviewers.
