About

Potion Pile

Read full description

A little magic. A clever brew. Drop jewel-like ingredients into a moonlit cauldron and let matching pieces tumble together. In Potion Pile, every merge brings a new ingredient, every recipe makes a little room, and every stir gives your pile another chance. Slide to aim, then release to drop. Merge berries into mint, grow your collection through crystals and blooms, and work toward the shimmering Moon Elixir. Keep the ingredients shown on your recipe card in the pot, then tap Brew to bottle them for points. Your recipe rotates between Dewdrop Tonic, Moonrise Tea and Starlight Cordial, with more demanding ingredients as you keep brewing. Each bottled brew earns a stir: a gentle swirl that jostles the pile when things get crowded. Save your charges for a tricky moment, and keep the settled ingredients below the danger line. Settle into a charming apothecary of soft music, warm gold and moonlit purple. Chase your own best score for as long as you can keep the cauldron from overflowing. Eight jewel-like ingredient tiers, from Berry to Moon Elixir. Three rotating recipes with growing ingredient requirements. Physics-driven drops and satisfying matching merges. Stir charges earned by brewing, with room to save up to five. An endless high-score chase with a saved personal best. Touch controls with portrait and landscape layouts.
