Quick method

This guide focuses on waiting slots as temporary storage. Pixel Flow is a one-tap puzzle built around sending pigs onto a limited conveyor, matching their color to pixel cubes, and deciding what happens when a pig has remaining ammo. The official store description is the source for those published mechanics; the board-specific decision still belongs to the level you can see.

  1. Reserve a slot for a pig you will reuse.
  2. avoid filling all five with colors that do not open the board.
  3. Recheck the board after the state changes, then choose the next move from the new evidence.

The useful distinction

A guide can explain a rule without promising a universal tap sequence. A playable video can help when its board matches yours, while a different layout, source gap, or changed state requires a fresh decision. Full slots can turn a correct color into a blocked move.

Bottom line

Use the rule as a decision aid, keep capacity available, and treat the visible board as the final source of truth. For an exact numbered lookup, continue to the Pixel Flow level directory.
