What it is
Vial and Error is a liquid-sorting puzzle built to be calm rather than clever at your expense. Pick a vial, pick a destination, and the whole contiguous top band of colour tips across — but only into an empty vial or one whose top layer matches.
The glass, the liquid, and the shelves are drawn procedurally, so the board stays crisp at any screen size, and every pour animates as a real tip-and-stream rather than a swap.

Features
- Every mix is certified solvable. A new board is never accepted on faith. Candidate mixes are solved before they are dealt, and the stored solution is what the hint button reads from.
- 100 measured levels, then unlimited free play. The launch scope is a hundred hand-paced levels plus an endless generator for when you just want another board.
- Colour is never the only signal. Each colour carries a distinct geometric symbol, and every vial announces its bottom-to-top contents to assistive technology.
- Undo, restart, hint, new mix. Four honest buttons. The hint is a real next move, not a nudge to watch something.
- Keyboard and touch. Tap one vial then another, or use arrow keys, number shortcuts, and Enter.
How Vial and Error will be sold
The free edition is a real, replayable game. Extra levels come in small packs you can buy one at a time. Or unlock every pack at once, including any we release later, and never pay again. The free levels and the contents of each purchase are shown before you buy.
Optional cosmetic packs may be sold separately and are not included in level packs or the buy-them-all purchase. They change appearance only, with no gameplay advantage or randomised rewards. Each pack shows its contents and price before purchase.
Every purchase is one-time and yours to keep. Nothing you've bought will ever be moved behind a subscription. Purchases can be restored through the same Apple or Google store account.
No third-party ads. Our games may promote other LynchPin Games titles.
