Sharpener Jam is a fun and addictive puzzle game where you try to clear the board by matching colored pencils with the correct sharpeners. Each sharpener can only shave pencils of its own color. Sharpeners can only move when the path in front of them is clear and can reach the pencils. As you shave pencil pieces, the board gets cleaner — but be careful! One wrong move can block the holder.
