## What is Sorted?

Swipe left to recycle. Swipe right to trash. Sort your way around the world!

Sorted! is a cozy, quick-play puzzle game about keeping the pile under control. Trash keeps coming, the pile keeps growing, and every swipe counts. Chain matching items into combos, pop dangerous batteries, and clean up cities from New York to Bali.

TRAVEL THE WORLD
Clean up five countries: the USA, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Every country has its own cities, hand-painted backdrops, music and local trash. Sort onigiri wrappers in Tokyo, krathongs in Bangkok and phin coffee filters in Hanoi.

HOW YOU PLAY
• One-swipe controls: left for recycling, right for trash. Easy to learn, hard to master.
• Combos: tap 3 or more matching items to clear them all at once.
• Hazards: scratch batteries to pop them for bonus points, and sort fast before the pile turns into a bomb.
• Three-star levels: short levels made for quick breaks. Replay any level to perfect your score.
• Survival mode: endless waves that keep speeding up. Every run earns stars that unlock new countries.
• Postcards and stamps: finish a city to stamp it on your board.

FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY
No account needed. Lives refill every 20 minutes, and a story level only costs a life if you lose it.

Download Sorted! and start your world tour.

Three new countries to clean up!

NEW: INDONESIA, VIETNAM & THAILAND
36 new levels across 12 new cities — from the karst islands of Ha Long Bay to
Bangkok's canals and the beaches of Komodo. Each country brings its own local
trash to sort, its own art, and its own background music.

35 NEW ITEMS
Coconut shells, chai cups, conical hats, rice sacks and a whole
lot of fruit. Later levels now mix six different item types instead of four, so
no two rounds feel quite the same.

SURVIVAL MODE, REBUILT
- Every run now earns stars — and those stars go toward unlocking new countries,
  so you can progress without touching the campaign
- Four unlockable swipe trails: Emerald, Aurora, Galaxy and the Supernova
- Difficulty rebalanced so deep runs are genuinely reachable
- Track your progress toward the next trail right on the Survival screen

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
- Background music for every country, playing in Survival too
- A friendlier end-of-run summary that shows exactly what you earned

More countries on the way. Thanks for playing!
