A crowd of robed travellers waits at the top of the stairs. Tap to lift them, tap again to send them walking down — and watch a whole valley sort itself into colour. Valley Sort is a calm, beautiful sorting puzzle set among pastel towers, floating stones and long stairways. Gather every colour onto its own platform to finish the valley, then watch it crumble into the mist as the next one rises out of it. LEARNED IN TWO TAPS Travellers will only join a crowd of their own colour, or step onto an empty platform. That is the whole rule. Everything after it is you, looking at a beautiful little tangle and quietly working out the thread to pull first. A VALLEY THAT KEEPS SURPRISING YOU Just as you settle into a rhythm, the valley teaches you something new: - Veiled travellers who hide their colour until the crowd in front of them walks away - Caves that let crowds out one by one, and never let anyone back in - Frozen crowds that thaw only as you complete others - Wild travellers who belong to every colour at once - Burning lanterns counting down, worn stairs that crumble, carts that must move as one - Dyed stairs that recolour whoever crosses them - A harbour where completed crowds sail away and caravans bring new travellers to the gate IT NEVER RUNS OUT — AND IT IS NEVER UNFAIR Hand-built opening valleys give way to an endless supply of fresh ones, and every single puzzle is solved by the game before it ever reaches you. No impossible deals. No wasted evening. A JOURNEY WITH A SHAPE Climb through chapters of themed valleys, rise from Traveller to Valley Sage, fill your firefly jar, and meet a boss valley — the biggest of its chapter — at the end of each one. Your furthest valley goes to Game Center, if you want the company. MADE TO RELAX IN - Soft isometric architecture that dissolves into drifting mist - Skies that turn from dawn to lagoon to lilac to a starlit night - Gentle generative music and bell-like chimes that follow each level - Undo, hints, power-ups and a rewind for when you are truly stuck - Haptics on supported devices Take a breath, lift a crowd and guide the travellers home.
