A relaxing water sort puzzle where every level can be solved
Pour colored liquid between glass bottles until every bottle holds a single color. Color Pour builds each board by playing a solved one backwards, so a solution always exists. Endless levels, a daily challenge, no timers and no account.
Free on Google Play for Android 7.0 or newer. The game shows ads; a one-time purchase removes every ad you did not ask for.

How to play water sort
- Tap a bottle to pick it up, then tap another bottle to pour into it.
- A pour lands only on the same color or in an empty bottle. The whole top band of that color moves, as much as fits: each bottle holds four layers.
- Sort every color into its own full bottle to clear the level. There are always two more bottles than colors, to give you room.
- Made a wrong pour? Tap Undo to take it back or Restart to begin again. When no pour is possible, the game tells you.
- Stuck? Watch a short ad for a Hint that shows a good next pour, or for an Extra tube, once per level.
Levels, daily challenge and stars
- Endless numbered levels. The first level has three colors; every six levels add one, up to ten colors in twelve bottles, and the shuffles keep getting deeper after that. Level 217 is the same board for every player.
- Daily challenge. One eight-color board a day, the same for everyone, worked out on the phone from the date. Solve it on consecutive days to grow your streak.
- Stars. Three stars for a solve without Undo, two for up to three undos, one otherwise.
- Score. Fewer moves and fewer undos mean a higher score, and your best score on every level is saved. Solved levels can be replayed from the Levels list.
Calm and accessible
- No timers. Leave in the middle of a round and tap Continue on the home screen to pick it up where you left off.
- Colour-blind patterns in Settings stamp a distinct symbol on each of the ten liquid colors.
- Four text sizes, a calm dark look, and soft sound effects and a light vibration on every pour; switch either off in Settings.
Questions people ask
How do you play a water sort puzzle?
Tap a bottle, then tap another to pour. Liquid can only go onto the same color or into an empty bottle, and each bottle holds four layers. The level is cleared when every bottle holds a single color or is empty.
Is every level in Color Pour solvable?
Yes. Every board is built by starting from a solved one and pouring backwards with legal moves, so a solution exists before you ever see the level. You can still pour yourself into a dead end, but Undo or Restart always gets you back.
How do I get three stars?
Solve the level without using Undo. Up to three undos give two stars, more give one. Your score also drops with every move and every undo, so a short, clean solve scores best.
What can I do when I am stuck?
Tap Undo to take back pours, or Restart the level. If a short ad is ready, Hint shows a good next pour and Extra tube adds an empty tube, once per level. When no pour is possible at all, the game says so and offers the same ways out.
What is the daily challenge?
A new eight-color board every day, the same for every player, worked out on your phone from the date. Solve it on consecutive days to build a streak.
Can I play without internet or Wi-Fi?
Yes. Every level and the daily challenge work offline. A connection is needed only for ads (and so for Hint and Extra tube), for the Remove ads purchase and updates through Google Play, and for the usage statistics and crash reports sent to Google's Firebase.
Is Color Pour free?
Yes. The game is free and paid for by ads: a banner on the home screen and on the result card, and a full-screen ad now and then when you leave a finished level, never when you come back to the game. There is no energy, no lives and no subscription, and every level is free.
How do I remove the ads?
Buy the one-time Remove ads purchase in Settings. It removes the banner and the full-screen ads between levels for good. Hint and Extra tube stay, and play an ad only when you tap them. If you reinstall, the purchase comes back from your Google Play account.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, on your phone: your unlocked level, stars, best scores, daily streak and a round you left half-played. There is no account and no cloud save, so uninstalling the game or clearing its data starts you again from level 1.
Do I need an account? What data does it collect?
No account, and the game asks for no permissions. The only sign-in is the optional Google Play Games one, for achievements and leaderboards; nothing else in the game needs it. Your moves and progress are never uploaded; only if you sign in to Play Games do your achievements and leaderboard scores go to Google. What Google's ads collect is described in the privacy policy, and the game sends usage statistics and crash reports through Google's Firebase.
Which phones does it run on? Is there an iPhone version?
Android 7.0 or newer, on phones and tablets; on a tablet it plays in portrait with the phone layout. Color Pour is Android only: there is no iPhone or web version.
Which languages is the game in?
English and Turkish. It follows your phone's language, and Settings lets you switch.
