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.

Drag, match 3 of a kind and pop! Welcome to the little shop of Mimi, the kitten shopkeeper! Her shelves are a mess and she needs your help: drag goods between the cubbies and line up 3 identical items to make them pop. Every cubby hides another layer behind it, so think before you move and clear everything before time runs out! HOW TO PLAY • Drag an item from the front of a cubby to any free space • 3 identical items in the same cubby pop • When a front row empties, the layer behind moves forward • Clear every shelf before the timer runs out 60 CUTE GOODS IN 5 STORES Every 20 levels Mimi opens a new store, with new shelf colors and 12 new goods with a glossy 3D look: Mini Market, Sweet Bakery, Toy Store, Beauty Boutique and Fruit Market. Orange soda, cupcakes, teddy bears, lipstick, pineapples and much more! COMBOS AND STARS Pop trios within 8 seconds of each other to build combos up to x10. Good! Great! Amazing! Fantastic! The bigger the combo, the more stars you earn. ENDLESS LEVELS Every level is generated by the game and checked to be solvable. The challenge grows little by little, with shelves locked by chains, dispensers that release one item at a time and skull-marked hard levels that pay double coins. 6 BOOSTERS • Hammer: smashes an item and 2 more of the same kind • Magic Wand: completes the trio closest to being done • Freeze: stops the clock for 15 seconds • Shuffle: mixes up the items on the open shelves • +30s Time and Bomb: pick them before the level starts Win levels in a row and your win streak gives you free boosters! REWARDS EVERY DAY • Daily Reward with 7 days of gifts • Free Lucky Spin once a day • 3 Daily Quests with coins and boosters • Star Chest every 1,000 stars COLLECTION AND RANKINGS Get a card with every win and complete 5 albums, one per store.
