The official adaptation of Potion Explosion, the award-winning puzzle board game.

In Potion Explosion, you will explode ingredients, trigger chain reactions and gather it all in your caldron. You will then use your hard-earned unicorn tears, fairy dandruff and whatnot to craft powerful mixtures with wacky effects! May the best wizard win!

HOW TO PLAY
At the beginning of the game, each player is given potions to complete with specific effects and ingredients. You will have to select ingredients in the dispenser; once your selected ingredient is removed, the ingredients above will slide down. If two ingredients of the same nature collide, they explode and you get them too! You can then use your ingredients to cook up your potions. You only have a limited tank space to store remaining ingredients from one turn to another, so choose carefully! Once a potion is completed, you score points, get to use its powerful effect and pick another potion to craft. The wizard with the most points wins!

Ratings and reviews

Online play needs serious improvement. I worry that people may be exploiting the poor infrastructure to quit or force a forfeit in games which aren't going in their favor. I've played ~7 ranked games so far, and the only one that was playable to completion was won by the other player, who is currently first in on the leaderboard and was simply better than me. In the other games, I was ahead or tied when the other player appeared to stall and time out, and no remedy sufficed. Will test more.

Update: I noticed there had been an update so I tried again. The tutorial seemed functional, except some of the arrows pointed to not quite the right place. When I try to play an offline game it just stops on a screen with an empty dispenser and empty burners. It never starts a game. I can still interact with the menu, so it's not frozen. This is even worse than than the last patch which had already made it basically unplayable.

I'm giving 4 stars because I absolutely love this game, but it's unplayable. Literally. The game stops at the loading screen and goes no further. Edit: Work has been done, but with server migration, I've lost my expansions. Hopefully fixed soon. Edit redux: The lads are working on it. It's still not yet at 100% but effort is being made and I appreciate the effort.
