Objective

Deliver the requested potion by the cauldron. As the time goes by, the cauldron will grow unstable. Every potion you deliver, the difficulty will grow, and new colors with more complex recipes can be requested. Use different tools for extracting colors, combining them, diluting for having lower amounts or concentrating to restore the opacity. Tools have in-game descriptions that might help to understand how they work.

The cauldron tells your objective. It’s content is growing unstable, and you need to add a potion of the same color to make it stable again. However, as it grows in levels, it will start to request more difficult potions and grow unstable faster.

The combiner combines two potions with different colors into one, by adding it’s components. Add one potion on each side and hit the button to combine. Both flasks must be filled with some kind of potion to have effect.

The extractor is used to create a potion from a source material. Add the source material on top, then an empty flask below, and push the button to make it happen.

Diluter is used to set the potion alpha value to 0.5. This is useful when combining colors to achieve lower %

Concentrator is used to increase the alpha of the potion back to 1, no matter how much it was before.

Remarks

Unfortunately I did not had time to add a game over screen or tutorials in-game You know the game is over when the input gets blocked when the bar runs out.
