About

Potionary

Read full description

Sort the potions. Fill the book. Potionary is a colour-sort puzzle with an alchemist's notebook behind it. Pour glowing liquid from flask to flask until each one holds a single colour — and every few puzzles, a new recipe appears in your Alchemy Journal. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Every level is proven solvable by a solver before you ever see it. No impossible boards, ever. • Forty hand-built opening levels that teach one idea at a time, then a measured difficulty curve for as long as you want to keep going. • An Alchemy Journal that turns the stars you earn into a collection worth finishing. MECHANICS THAT ARRIVE WHEN YOU ARE READY • Hidden potions that reveal themselves only at the top of a flask • Covered flasks that unlock as you finish others • Undo, Shuffle, Extra Flask and Hint — introduced one at a time MADE TO BE PLAYED ANYWHERE • Fully offline. No account, no login, no sign-up. • No lives and no energy timer. Being stuck is a puzzle to solve, not a wall to wait behind — Restart is always free. • Every bottle, star and drop of liquid is drawn in code — there is not a single image file in the game. Free to play, with optional ads and optional rewards.
