Why you’ll love it -Smart, simple core loop: Tap to remove pins, steer the box downward, and sort colors without hitting capacity. -Satisfying physics: Watch pins and the box react in real time to each choice you make. -Progressive challenge: Early levels teach the basics; later layouts demand real planning and precise timing. -Designed for quick sessions: Levels are compact, perfect for a quick mental break or a focused puzzle run. -One-hand friendly: Intuitive, tap-to-pull controls keep the focus on strategy, not fiddly inputs. How to play -Pull a pin to let the box drop safely. -Match colors by sending pins into the dock. -Don’t overfill any dock—capacity reached means the run is over. -Guide the box to the finish line.
