Arrow Puzzle: Pair Match is a puzzle about matching arrow pairs in the right order. Find two arrows of the same color on one row or column: one horizontal, one vertical. Tap the arrow pointing along that line to clear the pair and the arrows between them. Every move changes the matches left on the board. Remove a pair too soon and you may lose your next move. Look ahead, try another order and work toward a clear board. Smart has 200 puzzles to clear completely. Undo your last shot for free if you want to try another way. Some levels let you rotate an arrow. Recolor is there if you want it, but every Smart puzzle has a solution without it. Classic starts with 200 levels, then makes new boards as you go. Beat Classic level 10 to open Expert's snowflake-shaped boards. In every mode, you can play the board in 3D. Tap the 2D/3D button to switch views, tap the angle button to change the tilt, and pinch to zoom. Expert opens in 3D, Classic and Smart start flat, and each mode remembers your choice. Solved a good one? Send it to a friend. They can play that same board in their browser without installing the app. There's no timer, and you can leave an unfinished game and come back to it. The included levels work offline; level updates download when you're online. You can turn music and sound effects on or off separately. The first 12 attempts cost no energy. After that, a new attempt or restart costs 1 energy, which refills over time. In Smart, from your third attempt at the same level, you can skip after a loss by spending 3 coins. The game was previously called Crosswise Arrows.

Potion Sort is a relaxing water sort puzzle with a magical twist. Pour the colors between potion bottles until every bottle glows with a single color — easy to learn, calm to play, and a proper brain teaser as the levels deepen. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a bottle to lift it, tap another to pour. • A color pours only onto the same color, or into an empty bottle. • Think ahead — careless pours brew a jam. • Stuck? Undo a move, shuffle a fresh deal, or add a rescue bottle. • Clear the level by giving every potion its own bottle. A CAULDRON OF FEATURES • 100+ handcrafted color sorting levels with rising difficulty — new ideas arrive one at a time, so you are never lost. • Sealed vials: finish a seal's color anywhere on the board and the wax cracks open. No other sort game has them. • Mystery potions: hidden colors reveal themselves as you pour. • Big bottles: from level 50 every bottle deepens to five and a tenth color joins the brew. • Challenge levels for sorters who want a wall to climb. • Play offline — no Wi-Fi needed, anywhere, anytime. • Simple one-finger controls with smooth, satisfying pouring animation. • Game Center leaderboards and ten achievements to chase. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Sharpen your brain: every level is a bite-size logic puzzle of color, water and strategy. • Chill vibes: no timers and no move limits — sort at your own pace under a starry sky. • Always fair: every standard level can be solved exactly as dealt. Made for fans of water sort, color sort and bottle sorting games, and for anyone who loves a relaxing puzzle that still makes them think. Whether you call it water color sort, liquid sort or potion magic, the goal stays the same: pour, sort, and watch every bottle come out perfect. Download Potion Sort and start pouring — can you sort them all?
