Sort the shelves, serve the customers, clear the whole store. Shelf Jam is a relaxing triple-match sorting puzzle set in a busy little grocery store. Tap a product on the shelf and it slides onto the belt. Line up three of a kind and they pop. Sounds easy — until you notice that products hide behind one another, the belt only has five slots, and two customers are waiting at the counter with their patience running out. HOW TO PLAY • Tap any product on the front row to send it to the belt • Three identical products on the belt clear instantly • Products hide behind each other — take the front one to reveal the next • The belt has only 5 slots: fill it with no match and the level is over • Empty the whole shelf to complete the level FEATURES • 120 levels — the first 24 hand-tuned, then the difficulty keeps climbing • Every board is verified solvable before you ever see it • Combo multiplier: keep matching fast and score up to 5x • Customer orders with a patience timer — serve them for bonus coins • Star goals per level: finish it, beat the par time, complete the orders • 4 boosters: undo, hint, shuffle and an extra belt slot • Daily bonus streak, plus a high score and a personal time record per level • 14 hand-drawn products: bottles, jars, cans, chips, cupcakes and more • Puzzle levels play without a network connection — no account, no lives, no waiting between levels. Ads and optional purchases need a connection • 28 languages with full right-to-left support Whether you have thirty seconds in a queue or half an hour on the sofa, one shelf is always worth clearing.
