Nova’s Lab
A steady hand.
A better formula.
Sort the compounds, keep containment, and make the cure. A colour-sort puzzle set in an outbreak laboratory.
- iOS and Android
- Free with ads
- Optional Colour aid

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.
A solution exists
Boards are built backwards from a finished state. Every puzzle begins with a route to the cure.
A puzzle you can learn
Retry the same level and meet the same board. Each attempt teaches you something.
More than colour
Turn on Colour aid for distinct compound shapes. Use the Key to understand the board’s marks.
