About game
Staring at the clock while your coffee gets cold is the worst part of any workday. Potion Lab turns that mundane wait into a frantic session of smashing alchemist flasks with a magical tome. You control a bouncing elixir, smashing glass containers lined up on wooden shelves to clear the screen. Some flasks require multiple hits before they finally shatter into colorful shards. Catching power-ups dropped by these broken vessels keeps the action moving fast. You earn coins for every successful clear, which you then spend in the shop to boost your starting paddle width or extra lives. This take on the classic arkanoid style tests your reflexes across thirty distinct level layouts. Bouncing the ball perfectly off your wooden paddle feels satisfying as the screen fills with potion effects. Jump into the action right in your browser without needing to download anything.
How to play
1. Move the tome-paddle with your finger or mouse — the ball bounces off it automatically.
2. Tap the paddle to serve the ball at the start of a level.
3. Smash the potion flasks — some take several hits to break.
4. Catch power-ups dropped from broken flasks: wider paddle, sticky catch, extra balls, slow-motion, double coins.
5. Don't let the ball fall — you get three lives per level.
6. Clearing a level earns stars and coins — spend them in the shop on upgrades before your next attempt.
