Symbol Lab
Every reagent hides a symbol. Read its name, find the key and type the code to fill the flask. Clear twelve stages of practice brews and full experiments to discover every lab specimen.

Clue:? = one
no shift
Some symbols are hidden: read the clue and type the right one. A wrong guess fizzles a flask, 3 fizzles and it pops. Golden catalysts refill one.

01Pick a lab
Six labs, from digits to real code
The stages brew each lab twice: a short practice with a spare flask, then the full experiment that finds its specimen. In free lab, complete an experiment to open the next lab. The quick-mix bonus gets harder to win each time, and a perfect run (no fizzles, 97% accuracy) finds the rare specimen.
02How to mix
Three rules of the lab bench
Knowing what a symbol is called and where it lives is half the battle. A wrong key on a visible character just waits for the right one, but a wrong guess on a hidden symbol fizzles. The results show which keys tripped you up.
1Crack the clue
Each of the 10 reagents hides a symbol behind a ?. The clue names it, like "percent" or "the answer". Type the right key: a wrong guess fizzles one of your 3 flasks.
2Grab the catalyst
Every 4th reagent glows gold. Mix it to refill a fizzled flask, or for 250 bonus points when none are lost.
3Mix it quick
There is no fuse to beat, so take a moment to think. Mix a code before the quick-mix bar runs out for a bonus: 50 points times your combo multiplier.
03Shift guide
Hold shift with the other hand
Every symbol on top of a key needs shift. Touch typists hold it with the pinky of the hand that is not pressing the key, so both hands share the work. The game shows the same hint for every symbol.

Boss Gauntlet
Five bosses, each with a trick: fading words, fog spells and sunken symbols. Twelve stages of duels and runs lead to the full gauntlet and the crown.
