Cauldron Chaos

Duchess Cupcake's Cauldron Chaos is an original take on the water-sort puzzle genre, built around color theory, cascading mixes, and an aristocratic cat alchemist with very strong opinions about her potions. The Story Duchess Cupcake is a refined feline alchemist whose laboratory is in a state of permanent, charming disarray. Bottles tip, primaries blend in the wrong vials, tertiaries refuse to settle. The Duchess hires you — a junior apprentice — to bring order to her shelves and, occasionally, to brew the exact potion she's decided she absolutely must have right now. Three Modes, One Cauldron Rather than ship a single sorting mechanic, the game offers three flavors of the same core idea, each with its own win condition and pacing: Alchemy Lab — the campaign. Mix primaries to fulfill the Duchess's potion orders while keeping the rest of the shelves tidy.Lab Cleanup — pure sorting, no mixing. A calmer mode for players who want the satisfaction of a perfectly organized rack.The Chromatorium — the advanced mode. Brew all twelve tertiary colors using a dedicated mixing vial and a chromatic order wheel.Design Philosophy Three principles guided the build: No timers, no lives, no energy. Puzzles should reward patience, not punish thinking. Take as long as you want.No accounts, no tracking. The game runs entirely in your browser. Progress lives in localStorage, and we never ask for an email address.Mobile-first, but playable anywhere. The bottle layout scales from a phone in portrait to a desktop browser without compromise.Tech & Credits Cauldron Chaos is a React + TanStack Start single-page app, rendered with SVG bottles, custom CSS animations, and Web Audio API sound effects. All puzzles are generated by a constructive solver that guarantees solvability and computes a realistic par for each level. Built with care by an independent developer.
