Color Pour Sort Unblocked
Pour, park and cap your way through tubes of tangled color, one numbered level after another.
What is Color Pour Sort?
Color Pour Sort is a calm puzzle about separating colored liquids. You pour the top band of color from one tube into another, either onto the same color or into an empty tube, until every tube holds a single color or nothing at all. Levels are numbered and keep going, with more colors as the numbers rise.

Color Pour Sort looks like every other tube-sorting puzzle at first glance, and then the first pour surprises you. The bands of liquid are not equal blocks. Some layers are thick, some are slivers, and a pour transfers just what fits in the receiving tube, leaving any extra where it was. That one change makes the puzzle feel more like real liquid and much less like stacking cubes. The game is an open-source project called “Be like water” by Gedas-S, and it plays unblocked on phones and computers alike.
Pouring Rules
Choose a tube, which rises slightly to show it is selected, then choose where the liquid should go. Only the uppermost band travels, and it needs either a matching band or a totally empty tube to land on. Mismatched colors trigger a “Cannot mix” message, and a tube with no space says “Bottle full”.
Fill a tube to the brim with a single shade and a black cap seals it, locking it for the rest of the level. Clear the board by sealing or emptying every tube; a quick celebration flashes up and the following puzzle appears straight away.
The first level is a gentle start, just two shades spread over four tubes. The numbers keep climbing with no end, and each step adds colors. Your current level and the state of your tubes are saved in the browser after every pour, so closing the page costs you nothing.

A Steady Way Through Hard Levels
Protect your empty tube. Without a spare, a band with nowhere to match has nowhere to go. Filling it carelessly is the most common way to get stuck.
Check the space before you pour. Since layers vary in size, a pour may only partly fit. The sliver left behind can cover the color underneath and block a move you were counting on.
Finish tubes when you can. Capping a tube removes it from play, which shrinks the problem and makes the remaining board easier to read.
Work from the most buried color. Look for the color that sits lowest in most tubes. Freeing it usually needs the most pours, so plan around it early.
Treat undo as a tool. Undo has no penalty here. Try a line of three or four pours, and if it leads nowhere, rewind and test another order.
Settings Worth Knowing
The three-line menu holds a surprising amount: dark mode, a smaller tube size for crowded levels, a slower or switched-off pour animation, a choice between three different level generators, and a box to jump straight to any level number.
If you like sorting colors, Flood Fill Puzzle is another calm color challenge, and Color Tile Match adds a timer for a faster pace.
Color Pour Sort: questions players ask
How many levels does Color Pour Sort have?
There is no last level. The puzzles are generated from their level number, so they keep going, and later numbers bring more colors, more tubes and thinner layers.
What if a level seems impossible?
Undo as many pours as you like, or restart. If you restart by mistake, tapping restart once more, before any new pour, returns the layout you had just before it.
Why will a tube not accept my pour?
You can only pour onto the same color or into an empty tube. The game shows "Cannot mix" when the top colors differ and "Bottle full" when there is no space left in the target.
Can I play an old level again?
Yes. Type a level number into the menu's level field. As long as you keep the same generator selected, a given number always rebuilds the identical puzzle.
Is there a dark mode?
Yes. The settings menu has a dark mode switch, along with smaller tubes, a slower or disabled pour animation and a choice of three level generators.
