About

Elixir Balls

Features
Read full description

Pour, sort and seal. Elixir Balls is a ball sort puzzle set in a dark alchemist's apothecary — glowing essences, amber glass and candlelit shelves. Tap a vial to lift its top orbs. Tap another to pour them across. Keep going until every vial holds a single colour, then watch the cork drop and the glass bloom with light. That is the whole game. No tutorial, no walls of text. You will understand it in ten seconds and still be playing it in a month. ▸ ENDLESS LEVELS, EVERY ONE SOLVABLE Levels are not hand-made and they do not run out. Each one is generated fresh and then proved solvable by a solver before it ever reaches you. If a board is in the game, it has a solution — you will never be handed an impossible puzzle. Difficulty climbs from three colours to ten, and every tenth level is a deliberate breather. ▸ FOUR ESSENCES THAT CHANGE THE RULES The deeper you go, the stranger the apothecary gets: • Clouded Vial — only the top orb is visible. What lies beneath is revealed as you pour. • Sealed Essence — a locked orb that will not move until you complete the colour on its padlock. • Prima Materia — an iridescent wildcard that belongs anywhere, with anything. • Volatile Essence — a burning timer. Let it reach zero and the level is lost. Each one is introduced on its own, with room to learn it, and never more than two appear at once. ▸ NO READING REQUIRED There is not a single word of gameplay text. No tutorial popups, no instructions, no story to skip. Whatever language you speak, and whether or not you read at all, you can play this. Menus are available in English and Turkish. ▸ PLAY ANYWHERE, ANY TIME • Completely offline. No internet, no account, no sign-up, no ads to load before you can start. • A level fits in a spare minute — a bus stop, a queue, a kettle boiling. • Portrait, one-handed, thumb-friendly. ▸ EARN, COLLECT, PERFECT • Three stars for a clean solve. Beating a board is easy; beating it efficiently is the real puzzle. • Coins for every level, spent on hints, undos and an extra vial when you are truly stuck. • Four apothecary skins to unlock, from workshop glass to molten bloodmoon and frosted crystal. ▸ MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE • A colourblind mode with a distinct glyph on every colour. • Sound and vibration each have their own switch. • Nothing is ever communicated by sound alone. • A stuck board is never a loss. Undo, take a hint, add a vial, or restart — there is always a way forward. ▸ A QUIET GAME No timers on the main mode. No lives to wait for. No energy bar, no daily streak nagging you to come back. Elixir Balls asks for your attention when you want to give it, and leaves you alone when you do not. Pour the essence. Seal the vial. Light the shelf.
