About

Candy Sort Master

Read full description

Welcome to Candy Sort Master - a delightfully relaxing sorting puzzle that turns your screen into a sweet shop you can never leave. Tap one jar, then tap another. Watch wrapped candies, lollipops and gummies pour from one glass jar into the next. Group every color into its own jar to seal it with a satisfying lid and move to the next puzzle. That's it. That's the game. It's the kind of brain teaser you'll start during a coffee break and finish three hours later wondering where the time went. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • 1000+ hand-crafted levels — from 30-second warm-ups to twisty 50-move challenges • Relaxing pace — no timers, no lives, no stress • Beautiful candy art with three sweet shapes: wrapped, lollipop, gummy • Smooth pour animations that just feel right • Light & dark mode for late-night sessions • Plays offline — sort candies on flights, in waiting rooms, anywhere GENTLE BRAIN WORKOUT Every level is a fresh logic puzzle. Plan your moves, undo if you misread the stack, add an extra jar when you've painted yourself into a corner. The mechanic is simple to learn but the harder levels will absolutely make you stop and think. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most sorting games rush you. Candy Sort Master doesn't. Take a minute, take an hour, take a Sunday afternoon. Your candies will wait. The pastel candy-shop aesthetic is hand-drawn down to the wrapped-candy twists and the screw-thread rings on every jar. Even the loading screen is cute. PLAY YOUR WAY • Available in English, Français, Español • One-tap language switching in Settings • Works on iPhone & iPad Whether you're a sorting-puzzle veteran or just looking for the most chill 5 minutes of your day, Candy Sort Master is a sweet little corner of the App Store you'll keep coming back to. Sort. Seal. Smile. What's new (1.0): First release! 2000+ levels of relaxing candy sorting. Three languages, light & dark mode, and a whole lot of pastel candy. Let us know what you think!
