About the Game

Vial Trial is a puzzle game where you utilize the four basic elements to create ever more complex elements, with the ultimate goal of creating the Philosopher's Stone. But be warned, more complex elements require more space in your vial and any spillage requires you to start from the beginning again.

  • Advance the base elements through seven levels of synthesis and rack up points.

  • Track your best scores with the local score board to perfect your technique!

  • Compete against other alchemists for the top spot at the leaderboard!
