Try Crayon Sort. A 3D puzzle game that tests your logic, timing, and strategy. Your goal is to sort scattered crayons into the correct color slots. Between the tray and the slots is a continuously rotating circular conveyor, making both timing and order essential. Tap the tray to drop a crayon. It will move along the conveyor and fall into the matching color slot below. Each slot must be filled with 3 crayons to be completed. If there are remaining crayons on the conveyor with no available matching slot, the game is over. Once all color slots are correctly completed, a picture is formed and displayed. As you progress, you’ll encounter more complex layouts and complete a variety of images. Why play Crayon Sort: • Puzzle-focused design: Strategic gameplay based on drop timing and conveyor flow • Clear progression: Sort colors → complete pictures → display your work • Multiple levels: Increasing difficulty with more complex patterns • Offline play: Play anytime without internet connection • Simple controls: Easy tap-based gameplay Plan your drops, manage the conveyor, and sort all crayons to complete pictures and showcase them.
