Sort neon ghosts by color — then the Phase hits. Every few seconds, a random color vanishes: you can't touch them, can't sort around them. You have to time your moves or rethink your strategy on the fly. That's the Phase Shift — and it's what makes Neon Spirits unlike any other color sort puzzle. HOW TO PLAY • Drag neon ghosts into tubes to group them by color • Fill each tube completely to clear the floor • Watch for the Phase bar — act before a color fades out • Chain moves for combos and score multipliers FEATURES • Infinite levels — more colors and complexity as you climb • Phase Shift mechanic — timing and strategy, not just sorting • Combo system — chain moves for massive bonus points • 3-star ratings — track efficiency on every floor • Global leaderboards — compete with players worldwide • Cute neon ghosts with personality — they watch your every move • Retro synthesized audio — every tap feels satisfying • Fully offline — play anywhere, no internet needed Can you sort them all before they vanish?
