Orbit Sort

Read full description

Spin the rings. Sort the gems. Orbit Sort is a calm ring puzzle. Colored rings overlap, and where two rings touch they share a hole. Tap the right side of a ring to spin it one notch clockwise, or the left side to spin it the other way. Gems ride along with the ring, and a gem sitting in a shared hole can cross onto the other ring. Get every gem onto the ring of its own color and the board is solved. It takes a minute to learn. The real puzzle is doing it in as few spins as possible: match the par for a level and you earn 3 stars. HOW TO PLAY - Tap the right half of a ring to spin it clockwise, the left half to spin it counterclockwise. - Gems change rings only through the holes that two rings share. - Sort every color onto its matching ring to win. - From level 10, some rings are linked by a belt: spin one and its partner turns the same way. FEATURES - 1000 levels, from a two-ring warm-up to boards with six rings - Stars and par: up to 3 stars per level for matching the par spin count - Endless mode unlocks at level 10: new random boards with 4 to 8 rings, every time - A new daily puzzle every day, the same for everyone, with a streak to keep - Color-blind marks in Settings put a shape on each gem color - Relaxing music, with separate switches for music, sound effects and haptics - Undo and Reset whenever you like, so you can test an idea and take it back - A dark, calm look that is easy on the eyes at night - Plays offline, no account and no sign-in - Free to play, supported by ads WHY PLAYERS LIKE IT Each board is a small logic puzzle about planning a few moves ahead. Spinning a ring is simple; finding the shortest route that sends every gem home is the part that keeps your brain busy. Play a level on the bus, or settle in for a long Endless session. If you enjoy color sort, ball sort or other sorting and logic puzzles, try a puzzle where the whole board turns.

About

Untangle

Features
Read full description

Untangle is a puzzle you play to slow down. Each puzzle is a tangled web of glowing nodes. Drag them around until no lines cross. That is the whole game. No timer counting down, no score shouting at you, no screen full of confetti. Just a knot, your thumb, and the quiet moment it comes undone. Most puzzles take about thirty seconds. One flows into the next, so you can untangle one on a queue or a dozen before sleep. The difficulty rises gently as you go, from a handful of nodes to a satisfying web. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY One fixed puzzle each day, the same for everyone. Come back tomorrow for the next. SIX THEMES Cyber comes free. Unlock Aurora, Ocean, Sunset, Forest and Monochrome together, each with its own palette and ambient track, for a calmer screen in any mood. MADE TO BE HONEST - No timers or energy that gate how much you play - No interstitial ads, ever. One small banner on the menus, nothing during a puzzle - No loot boxes, no premium currency, no fake urgency - One optional purchase unlocks every theme for good. That is it. Built for short, unhurried moments. Untangle the web. Find the calm.
