Potion Explosion plays like some of the mobile applications that tend to devour the hours of a day. This tactile game uses quality components, including a plastic marble chute, to create a satisfying experience for gamers of all ages. This game has the perfect mix of crunchy choices and satisfying results. Young gamers must visualize their actions and produce results that chain together to be successful. These basic skills are essential to effectively creating and accomplishing goals.

Game Overview

Dear students, it's time for the final exams of the Potions class! The rules are always the same: Take an ingredient marble from the dispenser and watch the others fall. If you connect marbles of the same color, they explode and you can take them, too! Complete your potions using the marbles you collect, and drink them to unleash their magical power. Remember, though, that to win the Student of the Year award, being quick won't be enough: you'll also need to brew the most valuable potions in Potion Explosion!
