Ochrecut

Dig the clay. Let the pigment pour.

A calm puzzle about one decision at a time: which clay to dig, so ochre, cinnabar and lapis run into the right glazed pots. No timer, no lives, no ads.

Ochrecut home screen: chapters drawn as layers of a hillside A level: clay cups of pigment, a stone mortar and glazed pots on a rock floor

Every grain goes somewhere

Plan the pour

Pigment falls like sand and slides off ledges. Open the wrong cell and a red grain lands in the ochre pot: muddied. The puzzle is the order you dig in.

Grind new colours

In The Mill, two primaries meet in a stone mortar and come out as verdigris, saffron or murex for the pots that want a mix.

Your pace

No clock and no lives. Each level gives you a handful of picks and a par for three stars. Undo, Extra Picks and Hint are there when you are stuck.

How to play

  1. Tap a clay cell to dig it. Each tap is one pick.

  2. Watch the pigment pour and settle, grain by grain.

  3. Fill every pot with its own colour before your picks run out.
