Pop. Pour. Sort. Relax. Welcome to Popcorn Pop & Sort — the cozy color-sorting puzzle where every tap sends a burst of popcorn tumbling down the belt. The goal is simple but oh-so-satisfying: guide each kernel into its matching color bucket and clear the board. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a popcorn bag to pop it open • Watch the kernels pour through the funnel onto the conveyor belt • Each color has its own bucket up front • Fill a bucket to the top and it seals with a satisfying POP • Sort every kernel to clear the level! EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER Anyone can pop a bag — but keeping the belt flowing is where the real strategy begins. Send too much of one color with no open bucket and the belt jams.
