Before you start

One thing you can switch on if you want to. It stays off unless you turn it on, and can be changed at any time in Privacy & Data.

How to play

1. Fill the big jar with the color shown under “Collect”. There is exactly one jarful of it spread across the shelf — you need every last drop.
2. Tap a jar, then tap where it goes. The whole top block of color moves at once. Tap the jar again to put it down.
3. A color can only go onto the same color, or into an empty jar.
4. The big jar accepts nothing but the target color and never pours back out, so you cannot spoil it.
5. Par is the fewest moves possible, worked out by solving the puzzle. Match it for three stars.

Merge Colors plays by the same rules but adds one: pour a color onto one it mixes with, and the two become a third. The color the big jar wants is usually not on the shelf at all — you have to make it. Mixing pairs one for one, so two reds landing on five blues make two purple and leave three blue underneath. The recipes sit above the shelf, and the big jar still never mixes.

Stuck? Hint works out the next move from wherever you are. It shakes the jar to pick up, then where it goes, and rings them both until you move. It will also tell you if a position has become impossible.
