About

Hush Sort

Read full description

Pour, sort, breathe. Hush Sort is a cozy color-sort puzzle designed to slow your day down. There's no timer. There's no failure. Just gentle sounds, soft chimes, and a quiet little victory each time a bottle fills with a single shade. A LITTLE GAME WITH A LOT OF CALM - 1,000 hand-tuned levels — gradually richer as you play - Beyond mode: infinite levels once you finish the main set - 9 carefully-chosen colors — Dusty Rose, Sage Green, Lavender, Terracotta, Soft Amber, Powder Blue, Deep Plum, Eucalyptus, Blush Cream - Photo-realistic glass vessels with liquid that pours - Cork stoppers that drop in with a satisfying chime when a bottle is sorted - Each color rings a slightly different chime — sort enough and you'll hear unintended melodies - Optional gentle haptics - Ambient music that ducks and breathes with the game WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most color-sort games push you with timers, popups, and aggressive ads. Hush Sort is the opposite — designed to be the most peaceful thing on your phone. Play it while waiting for coffee. Play it before bed. Play it during a meeting (we won't tell). GO PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) For $2.99/month, Hush Sort Pro removes banner ads and unlocks unlimited instant hints — for when you'd rather flow than puzzle. - Subscription: $2.99/month, auto-renewing - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase - Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same monthly rate - Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal turned off in your Account Settings after purchase Privacy Policy: https://sunlightmedia.org/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Made with care in Los Angeles by Sunlight Media LLC.
