🧩 What is Time Puzzle?

Time Puzzle is a fast paced, strategy driven color sorting puzzle game where you must stay calm, think smart, and move quickly while the clock never stops ticking.

🎮 How to Play

  • You are given several tubes filled with stacked layers of different colors.

  • Your task is to rearrange the colors until each tube contains only one color.

  • Click one tube to select it, then click another tube to pour the top layer into it.

🧠 Core Rules

You can only pour color if:

  • The target tube is empty, or

  • The target tube has the same top color

  • AND the target tube still has space available

You cannot pour if:

  • The tube is already full

  • The top colors do not match

  • You try to pour into the same tube

  • There is no valid move that follows the rules above

Timer Matters

  • Every level has a time limit

  • Your time is constantly counting down

  • If the timer reaches zero → Level resets

⚠️ Penalties

Making a wrong move hurts:

  • Incorrect actions reduce your remaining time

  • This forces you to think, but also to react fast

  • Too many mistakes = less chance to survive the level

Rewards & Scoring

When you complete a level:

  • You earn Score Points

  • You get Time Bonus based on how much time remains

  • You may receive additional bonus rewards for:

    • Solving quickly

    • Playing efficiently

    • Maintaining good performance between levels

Your score continues building as you progress.
