Love ball sort but hate the constant ads? Sorted is the fair, low-ad ball sort puzzle. Sort coloured balls into tubes, undo mistakes for free, and play levels checked for a real solution. FEWER ADS, WITH THE RULES UP FRONT • No forced ads for your first seven days • After that, forced ads appear only between puzzles and at least 13 completed levels apart • No forced ad interrupts a puzzle • Optional reward ads appear only when you choose extra help • Remove Ads is one purchase that removes every ad — no subscription and no exceptions EVERY LEVEL STARTS SOLVABLE Some ball sort layouts really can be impossible. Sorted does not leave that to chance. The first 5,000 levels were checked by a solver using the same legal moves as the game. Each level starts with a proven route to completion. You can still make a move that leads to a dead end. That is a puzzle, not a paywall: restart is free and each level starts with 999 free undos. NO PAY-TO-WIN MECHANICS • No premium currency • No paid booster packs • No energy or lives • No purchasable level skips • No timer or pressure SATISFYING, ACCESSIBLE PLAY • Fast, responsive controls • Gentle ASMR-style encouragement when you complete a tube • Subtle haptic feedback for satisfying moves • Colourblind mode adds a distinct symbol to every ball • Star grades reward efficient solutions • Works offline with no Wi-Fi HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap a tube to pick up its top ball or matching group. 2. Tap an empty tube or one with the same colour on top. 3. Sort every colour into its own tube to finish the level. 4. If a move does not work out, undo it for free. Sorted is built for people who enjoy ball sort puzzles but are tired of constant advertising, paid undo and artificial blockers. Download it and play ball sort without the ad spam.
