About COLORFUL ASSORT

Unlike ball-sort puzzles that let you stack any color on top of a matching one, Colorful Assort demands precise tube management because you can only pour onto a shade that resides below the air gap—meaning a single mismatched top color blocks the entire bottle until you drain it elsewhere. The divergence: your moves are cascading one-way trips, not reversible swaps. Each tap selects a tube, each second tap pours the top liquid into the chosen bottle, provided that bottle's top color matches or it's empty. This tight tap-to-pour rule turns every shuffle into a path-planning exercise where one wrong tap can seal a color inside a bottle you need.

Sort the colorful liquids by moving them between bottles. You can only pour into an empty space or onto a matching color, making each move a satisfying little puzzle. The goal is to get each bottle filled with a single shade. It’s a simple tap-to-pour mechanic that becomes surprisingly strategic and addictive as you work to untangle the mix.

How to Play COLORFUL ASSORT

  1. Tap a bottle to pick it up; the uppermost liquid segment will be highlighted.
  2. Tap a destination bottle to pour the held segment into it.
  3. You may only pour into a bottle that is entirely empty or whose top layer matches the color you are pouring.
  4. Bottles cap at four segments; an overfilled pour is disallowed.
  5. Sort every bottle until each contains exactly one uninterrupted color.

Tips & Strategies

  • Reserve one empty bottle as a staging buffer so you can peel apart stacked colors.
  • Pour away the top color of a bottle first to expose the matching layer underneath.
  • Avoid pouring a color into a bottle that already has two layers of a different shade—you will run out of room.
  • Count available empty slots before making a double pour; losing the staging buffer traps the puzzle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I pour into a bottle that already has a different color on top?

The pour is blocked—the game does not allow it. You can only pour onto an empty bottle or onto a stack whose top layer matches the one you are holding.

Can I see all the colors in a bottle before I tap it?

Yes, every bottle shows its whole layered contents; you can inspect the order of colors before choosing where to pour.

Is there a limit to how many pours I take?

No move limit or timer is present. You may pour as many times as needed until all bottles are sorted.

What shows after I complete a puzzle?

A completion screen appears, then the next puzzle loads automatically or via a button labeled Next.

Do bottles lock or become unchangeable when full?

No. A full bottle of four matching segments is done, but you cannot pour into it because it has no empty space.
