Alike!
Read full descriptionHide full description
No spoilers or clues here; you will receive a few prompts (eventually). The challenge is about seeing things accurately and reacting quickly. The more complex the things get, and the faster you can react correctly, the more you score. Tip: at more difficult levels, "alike" doesn't always mean "exactly the same". If you are really stuck, take a look at the Facebook group (linked to somewhere in the App Store listing).

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.
