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.
Color Elixir

Color Elixir Step into a quiet alchemy workshop where every potion is made of light, pigment and patience. Color Elixir turns colour theory into four hands on crafts that feed one another, so a single vial can travel through the whole pipeline before it is sealed. Chase living pigments across a glowing basin. Red matter flees your lure ring, blue matter chases the frost dome, yellow swarms move as a flock, and only the right catch belongs in the bottle. Trap them in bubbles, ride the currents and ferry them home without dragging murk along. Split raw light through a prism you swing by hand. Fan the spectrum wide or squeeze it tight, drop shade cloth over the bands you do not want, and feed clean colour into crystals before they overheat. Race the clock as fresh liquid decays hue by hue. Chill one vial, warm another, seal a third with a rune, and land every colour on its target at the same moment. Finish by pouring viscous drops into a spinning dish. Thin liquid races outward, heavy liquid sinks inward, and a sudden brake pulls the swirl into petals. Match rings, spirals and blossoms, then seal the result into your codex. Play game, just colour.
