How to play

  • Pour the color on top onto the same color, or into an empty tube, as long as there is room.
  • Fill every tube with a single color to finish the puzzle.
  • Undo is always free, the hint shows a good next pour, and a spare tube helps when you are stuck.
  • Solve a puzzle in as few pours as you can for three stars.
  • Kids Mode (tap the turtle): smaller boards, with glowing hints that show where a color can go.

Controls

  • Phone, tablet or mouse: Tap a tube to lift it, then tap another tube to pour. You can also drag from one tube to the other.
  • Keyboard: Arrow keys or W A S D pick a tube, Space or Enter lifts and pours. Z undoes, H shows a hint, T adds a spare tube. Esc or P pauses.
  • Gamepad: D-pad picks a tube, A lifts and pours, B undoes, Y shows a hint, X adds a spare tube. Start pauses.

Tips

  • Keep your moves at or under the second number on the Moves counter to earn three stars.
  • Outside Kids Mode, undone pours still count, so restart the puzzle to set your moves back to zero.
  • A hint or a spare tube caps that puzzle at two stars, except in Kids Mode, so try on your own first.
  • Pour onto a matching color when you can and save your empty tube, since it can take any color.

About this game

Pour, sort and pop the corks! A sunny little potion lab is full of glass test tubes, and every tube holds stacked layers of glossy colored liquid. Tap a tube to lift it, then tap another to pour: the color on top slides out in a shiny stream, onto the same color or into an empty tube, as long as there's room. Fill a tube with a single color and a cork drops in with a pop and a burst of confetti. Finish the puzzle and every cork pops at once.

Every color has its own symbol, a triangle, a star, a heart, a moon and more, so nobody needs to tell colors apart to play. Nothing ever breaks or spills, there are no timers and no lives, and undo is always free. Stuck? Take a few pours back, or add a spare empty tube. Want a nudge? The hint shows the next good pour with a ghost hand.

120 puzzles grow from two colors to nine, with deeper tubes, tight boards with a single empty tube, and mystery layers that only show their color when they reach the top. Solve a puzzle in as few pours as possible for three stars.

Kids Mode (tap the turtle) is made for younger players: smaller boards, glowing hints for where a color can go, the ghost hand after a pause, and a party every five puzzles.
