Pour. Plan. Repeat until every drop is home. Phial is a quiet color-sort puzzle that turns three minutes of your day into something genuinely satisfying. Tap a phial, pour into another, organize every color until each bottle is complete. Simple in five seconds. Deep enough to keep you thinking for hours. WHY PHIAL IS DIFFERENT Most sort puzzles are built to hijack your attention. Phial is built to give it back. Slow, deliberate levels. Hand-tuned difficulty. No timers. No streaks. No daily-quest anxiety. Just liquid, glass, and quiet logic.
