Sort the colors, one pour at a time. Aqua Sort: Water Color Puzzle is a classic water-sort puzzle: pick a bottle, pour it into another, and untangle the colors until every bottle holds just one. Simple to learn, genuinely relaxing, and built with a level of craft and accessibility this genre usually skips. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Real colourblind support: a second palette built and measured for color-vision deficiency, not a filter slapped on top. Switch it on anytime in Settings. - Pours you can actually watch: the bottle lifts, tips, and streams liquid into its target — no instant color swaps. - Pour two bottles into the same target at once, when the puzzle allows it. - Bonus levels: starting at level 15 and then every ten levels, taller bottles and a fresh layout shake up the routine, with a gold progress bar showing how close the next one is. - A hand-drawn icon and a hand-measured color palette — not a generated template. - Light and dark mode, controlled by a switch in the game, not just your phone's setting. HOW TO PLAY Tap a bottle to pick it up, then tap another to pour. You can only pour a color onto the same color or into an empty bottle, and only as much as fits. Clear every bottle down to a single color to finish the level. FAIR MONETIZATION It is free to play, supported by ads between levels. A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good — no subscription, no repeated charges. Every level is generated to be solvable before you ever see it.
