— Overview
CauldronCrush is a casual tap-group puzzle built around a small alchemy bench. The cauldron asks for a recipe, the witch needs the right ingredients, and your tap groups together what brews well — slow, warm, and never punishing.
— Inside
What it does.
Tap-group
A friendlier cousin of match-three. Tap any cluster of like ingredients to combine them.
Recipe goals
Each level is a small recipe to complete — not a score chase, not a streak meter.
Alchemy boosts
Six brewed boosts (freeze, moves, bomb, hammer, cyclone, wrath) for the trickier nights.
Built in Unity 6
Built ground-up in Unity 6 with a custom cozy color script and hand-tuned animations.

Notes from the studio
The first build of CauldronCrush was meant to be a one-week experiment. Almost a year later it is the studio's most-loved internal project, and the only one that gets opened in the evening without a reason.
We tried scoring loops, streaks, leaderboards. None of them felt right. The version that shipped is the calmest one — finish the recipe, watch the cauldron bubble, move on to the next.
There is a quiet pride in releasing a casual puzzle that does not pretend to be a slot machine. The economy is honest: six small boost packs, each priced fairly, and the rest of the game played free.
