Find your formula.

Pour compounds between vials until each holds one colour. You can pour onto a different compound when there is space, but watch the mix: a full vial with three or more compounds can burst.

Choose from four difficulty tiers and explore four laboratories. Start with an untimed challenge or take on timed strains as the puzzles grow more demanding.

Made for another try.
