How to play

1. Gather each color in its own bottle. Distinct symbols also identify the colors. Choose a source bottle, then tap a destination bottle.
2. Solve 12 puzzles with three to six colors. Each bottle holds four cells, and every puzzle starts with two empty bottles. Pour the contiguous same-color group at the top into an empty bottle or onto the same color. Only as much as the destination can hold will move. Complete the puzzle by filling every nonempty bottle with four cells of one color. Use both colors and symbols to tell them apart. There is no timer; undo, hints, and restart are available. Your score is recorded on completion. Fewer moves earn a higher score. Time and hints do not reduce it.

Scoring and rounds

Your score is recorded on completion. Fewer moves earn a higher score. Time and hints do not reduce it.

Play tips

Treat the two empty bottles as working space for uncovering lower colors. Before pouring, check which color will be exposed underneath. When you can combine matching colors, also consider whether it will free useful space.

Common mistakes

You cannot choose a color from the middle of a bottle. Only the same-color group at the top moves, and only as much as the destination can hold. Every nonempty bottle must contain four cells of one color to finish.

Taking a break

Use Pause or Esc to take a break, then select Resume. Switching tabs or windows also pauses a running game. Paused time does not count as play time.

Records and progress

Best scores, puzzle progress and settings are saved in this browser, without cross-device sync. Puzzle progress remembers which puzzle to start next; it does not restore unfinished boards or live rounds. Clearing site data removes records, and blocked storage may prevent new records from being kept.
