How to play

  1. Each bucket holds a whole number of litres, up to its size.
  2. Pouring stops when the receiving bucket is full or the pouring bucket is empty.
  3. The level is solved when the bucket marked Measure holds the target. Fewer moves earn more stars.

Controls

Use Fill, Empty and Pour. For a pour, press Pour on the source bucket, then Pour here on the receiving one. Undo and Restart level are under the buckets.
