About Potion Sort

Pour potions between glass flasks until each holds a single colour.

Potion Sort is a colour-sorting puzzle set on an alchemist's shelf at night. Tap a flask to lift it, then tap another to pour: the top run of one colour flows across if the target is empty or has the same colour on top, as much as fits. Each flask holds four layers, and a flask filled with four layers of one colour is corked and sealed. Seal every colour to clear the shelf, and the next shelf slides in.

Every level has a move budget worked out by a built-in solver, plus three undos and one small extra flask that holds two layers. Running out of moves or restarting costs one of three hearts, a cleared shelf gives one back, and the run ends when the hearts are gone. A new potion colour arrives every two levels, up to ten. Tip: keep an empty flask free for as long as you can, and pour onto matching colours first.

How to play Potion Sort

  1. 1Touch or mouse: tap or click a flask to lift it, then another flask to pour into it; tap the lifted flask again to set it down.
  2. 2Keyboard: 1-9 and 0 pick flasks by position, or move with the arrow keys and press Space; U undoes a move, E adds the extra flask, R restarts the level.
  3. 3Goal: leave every flask either empty or sealed with four layers of one colour before Moves left reaches zero.
  4. 4Scoring: each cleared shelf gives 100 points times the level number, plus 10 points for every move left.
  5. 5Running out of moves or restarting costs a heart, clearing a level refills one, and the run ends at zero hearts.
