Pencil Loop Sort
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pencils are lined up and sharpeners are waiting. Your task is to send each pencil onto the conveyor and guide it into the sharpener with the matching color. When the colors match, the sharpener activates and the pencil gets perfectly sharpened. As more pencils enter the loop, timing and planning become essential to keep everything flowing smoothly. The conveyor never stops, the loop keeps turning, and every correct match is deeply satisfying. Sharpen every pencil and complete the line.
Layer Break
Tap to peel puzzle layers deeper, matching colored balls to fire and break through blocks. Strategize your shots with a 5-slot queue to avoid jamming the board. Enjoy quick, satisfying clears with no timers.

Peel. Load. Fire. Clear. In Layer Break, every tap peels the puzzle deeper. Tap a color on the stack to send matching balls into your slots — reveal the next layer, plan your queue, and set up the perfect shot. Above the board, colorful blocks are waiting. When a slot color matches a block, it fires automatically and breaks through the layer. No match? It waits — and if all 5 slots fill up, it’s slot jam.
