Alembic: Potion Sort Puzzle

About

Forty potions. Each one named, each one with a line of its own, and each one doing something no shop will sell you. Alembic is a colour-sorting puzzle where the sorting is the means and the codex is the point. Pour liquid from bottle to bottle until every colour stands alone, fill a reward chest, and watch a new potion take its place on your shelf. BREWING, NOT JUST SORTING Every fifth level fills a chest, and every chest brews a potion. Forty in all — and each is a dose you can actually drink. Foresight plays the next three moves of a real solution. Second Morning deals the level again, the same colours arranged anew. Spare Glass hands you an empty flask past what coin will buy. None of them duplicate what the shop sells, because a potion has to be worth brewing. NOT JUST A LONGER LADDER Three hundred levels, and the curve is a shape rather than a slope. Most sit at the baseline, some drop below it for a breather, and a few climb well above — those are badged Hard or Extreme on the tile before you tap them. Losing a level the game warned you about is a different feeling from losing one it did not, and every Extreme is followed by something gentle. GLASSWARE THAT ISN'T ALL THE SAME A colour always comes in a set of four, so a three-unit vial can hold liquid but can never be where a colour finally lives — it is somewhere to set things down. A five-unit retort is a roomier spare that can still finish a colour. That asymmetry turns "where does this go?" into a real question instead of a hunt for any empty tube. A REASON TO COME BACK Three brew orders every morning, filled by ordinary play rather than by visiting a screen. The Cauldron: one extra board a day, dealt from the date so every player in the world gets the same one, with its own streak and your own move count to beat. Chapters of twenty-five levels that pay out for the stars collected in them. And a login streak with milestones — plus freezes, so one busy Tuesday does not cost you a hundred days. AT YOUR OWN PACE No timers. No lives. No energy meter counting down to nothing. No ads between levels, and no banners — the only videos are the ones you choose to watch, for a free hint or extra coins. One finger, for a minute or an hour. ALSO • Every level is checked solvable before you ever see it • Undo is unlimited, and always free • No forced ads — videos only when you ask for one • Colour-blind symbols, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type throughout • 300 designed levels — the Hard and Extreme ones are marked before you start
