Play Tint Tubes online

Tint Tubes is a color-sorting puzzle game. You are Pip, the keeper of the Inkwick ink workshop, and the morning apprentice has mixed every ink tube.

Tap tubes to pour the top run of each color onto matching tops or empty tubes. Sort every tube into a single solid color - empty tubes are fine too.

Six racks from 3 inks up to 6. Beat the move par for three stars, but pour too many times and the rack jams.

Controls

How to control Tint Tubes

  • Select / pour: click or tap a tube
  • Keyboard: 1-6 select tube
  • Undo: U (free, not counted as a move)
  • Restart level: R
  • Mute: M
Getting started

How to play

  1. 1

    Tap a tube to select it, then tap another tube to pour the whole top run of that color.

  2. 2

    You can only pour onto a tube whose top blob is the same color, or onto an empty tube.

  3. 3

    Sort all 6 racks: every tube must be empty or filled with one solid color.

  4. 4

    Beat the move par for 3 stars. Exceed 3x par and the rack jams - game over.

Strategy

Tips for a better run

01

Empty tubes are your workspace - never fill your last empty tube unless the pour finishes a color.

02

Pour a whole top run in one go; the move counter charges one pour no matter how many blobs move.

03

Watch the run length on top: pouring a lone blob onto a full wrong color blocks the tube - undo (U) is free.

04

Finish a color completely before mixing: a completed tube locks that color out of trouble.
