Magic Color Tubes Magic Color Tubes is a puzzle game about a magic laboratory bench. Nothing is poured from one glass into another. Every potion is coaxed forward with four different crafts, and each craft has its own controls and its own way of going wrong. Tube Resonance asks you to tune liquid levels until each tube sings the right note, then strike the chant in order. Tap high for a bright voice, charge a blow to crack hard crystal, and use two fingers for a chord. Spin Split mounts a mixed tube on a drum: loosen the clump in reverse, hold each pigment in its own speed window, balance the counterweight, and latch the bands before they drift. Siphon Relay is about hoses. Link a source to a target, purge the air, set the intake depth to avoid sediment, then clamp the flow at the exact millilitre. Lumen Blend shines a lamp through coloured draughts so their beams overlap into violet, cyan, or white on a rune canvas. Twenty trials each for Lumen Blend and Siphon Relay, fifteen for Resonance and Spin Split, plus five Grand Brew chains that run all four benches back to back.
