Potionary
Read full descriptionHide 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.
Stack Cats

Every cat has a personality. Find the perfect stack. Cat Stack Club is a cozy cat-stacking puzzle. It looks like a simple "sort the same color together" game — but after a few levels you realize color is only the beginning. Each cat has its own temper and its own rules about who it will sit next to. 8 CAT PERSONALITIES · Chubby Cat — too heavy, only fits at the very bottom · Cat King — wears a crown, refuses to let anyone sit on its head · Sleepy Cat — fast asleep, move another cat to wake it up · Best Friends — linked by hearts, they move together as a pair · Shy Cat — won't be the first one into an empty bed · Likes & Fears — some cats love a color, some are scared of one, and they can't sit next to each other Play at your own pace. No move timers, no pressure for three stars. If you get stuck, hints and a temporary spare bed are there for you. 280 LEVELS ACROSS 7 CHAPTERS Living room → kitchen → garden → bedroom → rooftop. Each chapter unlocks new scenes and new cats, and clearing levels drops furniture so you can decorate your own cat room. 40 CATS TO COLLECT From orange tabbies and tuxedos to ragdolls, Bengals and Sphynx. Every cat is a hand-drawn chibi illustration. Rarity only affects your collection — never the difficulty. COMFY SOUND & FEEL Lazy, relaxing original music, a different cute reaction sound for each cat, and springy squash-and-stretch landing animations. CLEAN AND SIMPLE · Play offline, no login required · Full-screen, distraction-free · 7 languages: 简体中文 / English / 日本語 / 한국어 / Français / Español / Русский · No forced ads — remove them in one purchase Every cat has a personality. Find the perfect stack.
