FRUIT SORT is a relaxing yet clever puzzle game that blends satisfying fruit slicing with a unique auto-sorting system you won’t find in traditional sorting games. Instead of swapping pieces manually, you control the flow. How It Works Fruit slices with numbers arrive when you press Deal, smoothly sliced into place for a satisfying ASMR feel. Each fruit holder can store a limited number of slices, so space management is key. Tap a holder to send matching fruit slices onto the conveyor. From there, the conveyor automatically sorts them into the correct holder using a smart FIFO system as long as a matching fruit is waiting at the front. This creates a smooth, almost hypnotic loop where the game helps you sort… if you plan ahead. Merge & Progress When you gather enough identical fruit slices, they merge into a higher-numbered fruit. Your goal is simple but deep: Keep holders as empty as possible Avoid overflowing the system Reach higher and higher fruit numbers There’s no final fruit and no hard end, progress continues as long as you can manage the flow. Why FRUIT SORT Feels Different True auto-sorting instead of swapping A flowing conveyor that reacts to your decisions Relaxing slicing animations with tactile feedback Long, meaningful levels designed for extended play Casual to learn, but mentally engaging over time Each level introduces new fruits to unlock, and completing a level can take real strategy and patience perfect for players who enjoy slow, rewarding progress rather than quick clears. Play at Your Own Pace FRUIT SORT is designed to be: Relaxing, not stressful Challenging, but never frustrating Satisfying to watch as much as to play Whether you want to unwind or give your brain a gentle workout, FRUIT SORT offers a fresh take on the sorting genre with depth that keeps you coming back. Start slicing, sorting, and merging and see how far you can go.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fruit Sort! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mergimals has 415 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Mergimals's written reviews are positive against 0% of Fruit Sort!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mergimals ships an update every 3 weeks, Fruit Sort! every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on July 17, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
