🕹️ Gameplay Mechanics

1. Pouring Rules:

• Tap a tube to select it, then tap another tube to pour the top layer of sand into it.

• The Golden Rule: You can only pour sand onto sand of the same color or into an empty tube. You cannot pour if the colors don't match or if the target tube is full.

2. Capacity Limits: Each tube has a maximum capacity. Once full, no more sand can be added.

3. Winning Condition: The level is cleared when all colors are sorted—meaning every tube is either completely full of a single color or completely empty.

4. Relaxed Pace: Typically, there are no time limits, allowing you to play at your own pace and think deeply.

💡 Strategy & Guides

• 🧪 Value the "Empty Tubes": Empty tubes are your most valuable strategic asset! Treat them as temporary storage or "transfer stations." Don't fill them up unless it helps you unblock a crucial color underneath.

• 🧐 Check the Bottom: Look at the bottom-most color in each tube. If a tube has Blue at the bottom, try to make that tube the permanent home for all Blue sand to minimize unnecessary moves.

• 🔄 Plan Ahead: Before tapping, visualize the next 2-3 moves. Ask yourself, "If I move this Yellow sand, will it uncover the Red sand I need?"

• 🚫 Don't Block Yourself: Try to avoid having the same color occupying the top slot of too many tubes simultaneously, as this restricts your ability to move other colors around.
