Sort It

Sort It is a highly addictive casual puzzle game that puts your logical thinking and strategic planning to the test! Perfectly suited for players of all ages, it satisfies your need for quick, bite-sized entertainment while keeping your brain sharp. At the start of each round, you'll see several tubes filled with balls of various colors, along with a few empty tubes. Your task is to use logic to sort the mixed-up balls so that every tube ends up containing only one specific color. As you progress, the difficulty ramps up with more tubes and a wider variety of colors. It challenges your quick reflexes and requires solid forward-planning. The more you play, the trickier it gets—making it incredibly easy to lose track of time in this immersive sorting adventure!

Your core objective: Sort all the mixed colored balls into their respective tubes. Each tube can hold a maximum of 3 balls. When all balls are successfully grouped by color in their own tubes, you clear the level and unlock the next challenge!

🎮 Core Gameplay Rules

1. Level Start & Initial State

• Upon entering a level, the screen generates a random assortment of tubes filled with colored balls and a few empty tubes. The initial layout, number of balls, and colors are randomized.

• Each tube has a fixed capacity: it can hold up to 3 balls. Once a tube is full, no more balls can be added. You must plan your moves carefully to avoid wasting precious tube space.

2. Sorting & Moving Rules

• The controls are simple: click a ball to move it. Once clicked, the ball will automatically seek out a valid tube and drop in.

• Conditions for moving: A ball can only be moved into a tube that has free space (less than 3 balls), AND the top ball currently in that destination tube must be the exact same color as the moving ball. If multiple tubes meet these criteria, you can manually choose which one to drop it into.

• Invalid Moves: Clicking a full tube or trying to drop a ball onto a different colored ball will result in no action. You'll need to rethink your strategy and try again.

3. Victory Rules

• The level is cleared when every tube contains only one color of ball, and each filled tube holds exactly 3 balls. A 'Next Level' button will appear to let you continue your challenge.

• There are no time limits! This is a purely strategic experience. Play at your own pace and plan your moves without the stress of a ticking clock.

🚀 Core Power-Ups

The game offers 3 core power-ups to help you out. You start with 3 uses for each. Unused power-ups carry over to the next level. Once depleted, you can watch a quick ad to get +1 use for a specific item.

1. Undo Item

The ultimate mistake-fixer. Click it to reverse your last ball movement, allowing you to quickly adjust your strategy if you mess up. Consumes 1 use per click.

2. Hint Item

The perfect guide. Click it, and the game will automatically select a valid ball and move it to the correct tube for you, guaranteeing one perfect step. Consumes 1 use per click.

3. Add Tube Item

The ultimate space creator. Click it to instantly add 1 brand-new empty tube to the board. When you're completely out of moves and space, this is a lifesaver. Consumes 1 use per click and follows the standard 3-ball capacity rule.

⌨️ Game Controls

Mouse Controls: Hover over a ball and click to move it. Click the respective power-up icons on the screen (Undo, Hint, Add Tube) to activate them.

Why won't the ball move when I click it?

A ball can only move if two conditions are met: First, the destination tube must have free space (under the 3-ball limit). Second, the top ball in the destination tube must be the exact same color as the one you're moving. If it won't move, check all your tubes for valid spots. If none exist, try using the 'Add Tube' power-up!

What if I make a mistake?

Just use the 'Undo Item'! You start with 3 Undo charges per game. Click the Undo icon on the screen to instantly revert your last move and restore the board to its previous state.

I'm stuck and don't know how to sort. What should I do?

Use the 'Hint Item' to get out of a jam! You start with 3 Hint charges. Clicking it will automatically execute one perfect, correct move for you. Alternatively, use the 'Add Tube' power-up to create an extra empty tube, giving you the breathing room needed to reorganize your balls.

Is there a time limit? Can I refill empty power-ups?

There is no time limit whatsoever! You can play entirely at your own pace and plan out your sorting strategies without stress. You start with 3 of each power-up; once they run out, you can easily replenish them by watching short ads.
