About this game

Pull ingredient marbles from a physical dispenser, and when same-colored marbles collide after the gap, they explode and you collect those too. Chain reactions create satisfying cascades of free ingredients. Use collected marbles to complete potion recipes on your desk, and completed potions grant one-time special powers. The marble dispenser is a genuine toy that makes every turn feel like a mini puzzle. Equal parts candy-crush satisfaction and light engine building, wrapped in a Hogwarts-style potion class theme.
