Hexa sort with NO ADS! This is the game you've been looking for. Bee Sort by Sam is a relaxing hexa sorting puzzle game with no ads! Complete 1000s of levels and paint beautiful nature art with the tiles you collect.  Each level poses a unique challenge of varying difficulty. Collect enough hexagon tiles to finish beautiful paintings. How to play: - Place a stack of hexagon tiles on the grid. - Sam the Bee will sort the stacks for you in an optimal way! Sam's really smart, you know. - Once a stack has 6 or more tiles of the same color, the stack will be cleared and Sam will collect the tiles. - Your objective is to place the stacks in a way to make it easier for Sam the Bee to sort. - Enjoy the satisfying long sorting and clearing sequences! Fun mechanics like locks and spinning platforms keep the game exciting for 1000s of levels. - Levels have interesting shapes that challenge you to think about where to start placing the stacks. - Some levels have pre-placed stacks that make you think harder about your first moves. - Locks will occupy a slot, but they will be cleared once you collect enough tiles of the same colour. Once the lock is destroyed, it will release the tiles that were used to clear it. - Spinning platforms rotate every time you've placed all 3 stacks. Thinking carefully where the stacks on the spinning platform will end up can help you through a tricky spot! The game is completely free of ads. Games by Sam never have ads, and work without wifi, to give you a pleasant and fun gaming experience for free. The way games should be played!

About

MergePit

Read full description

MergePit is a free falling-block reaction game built around one satisfying verb: merge. Drop colored circles into the pit, land two of the same kind together, and they fuse into the next tier up. Keep the chain going and the points stack fast — let the pit fill past the line and the run is over. It's the kind of game you pick up for thirty seconds and put down twenty minutes later. One thumb, instant restarts, no tutorials to sit through. WHAT MAKES IT TICK • Ten tiers of pieces, from the smallest up to the gold jackpot. • Merge matching pieces to climb the tiers; time your drops to build chain multipliers for big swings. • Two of the largest piece annihilate for a jackpot — find out what that's worth. • Rescue drops give you a second chance when the pit creeps over the line. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Timed — pieces drop on a tightening countdown. This is the competitive mode; your score goes to the Game Center leaderboards. • Relaxed — no countdown, no pressure. Take all the time you want; your best is kept right on your device. THE DAILY CHALLENGE • Everyone plays the same pit each day — a fair, shared board. Climb the daily leaderboard, then dare a friend to beat your score on the very same pieces. • Build a streak by coming back and playing every day. COMPETE AND COLLECT • Game Center leaderboards: an all-time board, a weekly reset, and a fresh daily board, so there's always a top to chase. • Game Center achievements for the milestones worth bragging about. • Lifetime stats tracked on your device, plus a score card you can share to dare a friend to beat it. FAIR AND FRIENDLY • Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. • No accounts to create and no servers — everything stays on your device, and the only thing that ever leaves it is a leaderboard score you choose to submit through Game Center. • Full iPhone and iPad support, with sound and haptics you can toggle off. • A color-blind aid labels every piece with its tier number, so matches are clear without relying on color. Drop in. Merge up. Can you beat your best?
