Welcome to Sift, the ultimate physics-based sorting challenge where gravity is your only tool. Your mission: Purge the junk, keep the jewels.

No tapping. Sift turns your device into a real glass vessel. Experience ultra-responsive motion controls that make every slide, bounce, and "clink" feel incredibly real. DODGE THE CHAOS As the rounds progress, the "junk" gets smarter: * Balloons: Floating pests that push your crystals out of reach. * Bombs: Fragile explosives that detonate after three strikes. * Sticky Mess: Slime that glues objects together - shake your phone to break free! MASTER THE GLASS Test your reflexes across five unique vessels, including the narrow Erlenmeyer Flask and the wide-open Beaker. Every five stages, the vessel changes, forcing you to master new physics and flow patterns. STUNNING VISUALS & SOUND * Glow & Sparkle: Beautifully rendered emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. * Tactile Audio: Satisfying crystal-on-glass sound effects. * Pure Focus: A minimalist, parallax galaxy backdrop for zen-like gameplay.
