Amber Vials

Amber Vials is a quiet sorting puzzle set against a deep night blue, with glass vials, coloured beads and warm amber accents. Everything is drawn in flat shapes in code: rounded cards, soft buttons and a light scatter of shapes behind the board. Each vial holds a stack of coloured beads, four to a vial, and the goal is one colour in every vial. A pour moves every bead of the top colour that fits. It only lands on an empty vial or on the same colour, and only while there is room. Say one vial has two red beads on top and another has a single red bead with three spaces above it. Pour from the first into the second and both reds slide across, leaving the colour that sat underneath them uncovered. Tap a vial to lift its top colour, then tap the vial you want to pour it into. That is the whole control. Each tap gives a light vibration, and you can turn it off if you prefer a silent board. The goal line stays above the board the whole time, with a counter that reads Vials sorted: 3 of 6 as you go. Each bead also carries a small mark, so colours can be told apart by shape as well as by tint. Every board is checked by a solver before you see it, so it can always be finished. When you are stuck, the hint button shows the next pour of a working solution, and every hint is counted. Restart puts the same board back exactly as it started. There are three modes, picked on the home screen. Calm has four colours and two empty vials, with no limits at all. Steady has five colours, and the first pour that does not fit ends the run. Measured has six colours and gives you a fixed number of pours to sort them all. A move counter and a clock sit beside the board, and the clock only counts up. You can hide it in settings if you would rather not see it. When the last vial is sorted, a card titled All sorted shows your time, your moves and the hints you used, with three buttons: Next, Again and Home. If a run in Steady or Measured ends early, the same board is waiting for another try. Every level number always gives the same board. The levels grid marks the ones you have solved, lets you replay any of them and points to the next one. The daily board is the same for everyone each day, and clearing it on consecutive days builds a streak. Nine awards track your progress, from a first clear and 50 levels to a clear in 30 seconds and a 7-day streak. Stats keep a line for each mode: levels solved, fastest time, fewest moves and games started. Overall you can see clean clears without a hint, hints used and dailies solved. Settings hold the board on start, the timer and vibration, and the reset asks for a second tap. All of it stays on your phone. There are no accounts, no network, no ads and no purchases.
