I love Potion Explosion but when I tried it here a week ago, it was really slow on my ipad. Almost unplayable. The game lasted 77 minutes! Was it fixed since?

So thrilled to see this game available on BGA! I have it at home and is one of my favourites here since I've seen it in beta. Thank you so much making it available :)
The experience is great and everything works well. I just have a few suggestions for you:
  • The piles of available potions should be a bit more prominent than at the bottom of the page. To make your strategy, you need to check what potions are available next when you choose which ones to complete first or which color to keep in the pool, and scrolling up and down every time is not practical.
  • Although it becomes clear after a bit of playing, it would be good to know which two potions have been excluded from the game, if any.
Thanks again :D

Thank you for the comments. If you take a look at the game preferences in the menu on the top right of the game you will be able to select where the available recipes are displayed (e.g. you can have them always at the top, which it sounds like you would like).

Found this to be broken - would not let me use potion (kept coming up "unexpected error" even after reloading page). Also, when using rainbow potion, kept telling me I had the wrong colour (so rainbow potion effect did not apply properly). Had to abandon...

"Potion of Magnetical Attraction"の日本語名が現在"逢引薬"になっています。
(男女が隠れて会うという意味。恐らく、最初にどなたかが命名された名称を尊重されているのだと思います。)
元々は、"磁気により引き合う力の薬"という名前であり、科学ゲームですので素直に、"磁気引力薬"や、"磁気結合薬"、または"磁気誘引薬"などの、磁力をテーマとした名前ではいかがでしょう?
愛をテーマとした薬は他にありますし。

I love it!! Thanks for bringing it to BGA.
One suggestion - please make the Help -2VP button a different colour (maybe Red) to the normal take marble button. Myself and a few people I've played with have hit the wrong button by mistake.
