Color Tube Arrangement Puzzle

The Pouring Rule That Drives Everything

Every puzzle starts with several tubes holding stacked layers of different colors, plus a few empty tubes. Your goal is to rearrange those layers until each tube contains only one uniform color. The rule governing every move is narrow: you may pour the top layer of one tube onto another only if the destination already shows that same color on top, or if the destination is completely empty. That single constraint is what turns a simple sorting task into a planning problem, because each pour either opens up space or buries a color you will need later.

Three Difficulty Settings and How They Change Play

Easy, Medium, and Hard settings adjust the puzzle rather than the rules. Early levels use basic color combinations and fewer tubes, which lets you learn the pouring logic without much risk. Harder levels raise the number of colors and tubes, so the same rules demand longer sequences of moves and more careful use of empty tubes. Each level presents a unique arrangement, so the challenge comes from the specific layout rather than from repeating a memorized solution.

Reading the Board Before You Move

Success depends on looking at the overall color distribution before committing to a pour. Empty tubes function as temporary holding spaces, and spending them too early can leave you with nowhere to stage colors. Pouring a color into a tube where it will later sit under a different color can block progress, so the order of moves matters as much as the moves themselves. If a sequence goes wrong, you can undo moves or restart the level without penalty.

Presentation and Pace

The interface is clean and uncluttered, with each tube clearly displaying its contents. Colors are bright and distinct, and the visual design uses soft backgrounds with smooth pouring animations. There is no distracting music or sound effects, which keeps attention on the board. Controls are tap-based: select a tube, then tap another to pour. No timers, scores, or penalties for slow play are present, so players of any age can work through each arrangement at their own speed.
