About the game
Pour compounds between vials until every vial holds one colour. Any compound can go onto any other, so a board is always recoverable — but mixing costs you time, and a vial filled with three different compounds becomes unstable and bursts.
Four difficulty tiers, four laboratories, and a puzzle that keeps getting harder as you play rather than staying where it started.
What makes it different
Every level is solvable
Boards are built backwards from a finished state, so a complete solution provably exists before the level ever reaches you.
Levels hold still
Level 7 is always the same puzzle. Fail it and you meet the same board again — one you can learn, rather than a fresh shuffle.
Readable without colour
Every compound carries a distinct shape as well as a colour, so the harder labs stay readable if you are colour blind.
