Sortcery

Read full description

Pour, sort, and cast a little magic. Sortcery is a relaxing water sort puzzle with a magical twist. Pour colored water between bottles until every bottle holds a single color. It takes one finger to play and a moment to learn — but the further you go, the more your planning matters. THE GRAVITY SPELL Sortcery's signature move. On special spell levels, you can flip the liquid in every bottle upside down — once per level. Colors buried at the bottom rise to the top, and choosing WHEN to cast becomes part of the puzzle itself. FEATURES • Endless levels that grow steadily more challenging — every single one is generated to be solvable • The Gravity Spell: a one-time, board-wide flip that rewards clever timing • Undo your last pour, restart anytime, or use a hint when you're truly stuck • Unlock new bottle shapes as you progress: slim vials, flasks, jars, boots and bathtubs • Calm pacing with soothing sounds and satisfying pours — no timers, no move limits, no pressure • Play in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Simplified Chinese • Designed with VoiceOver and accessibility in mind HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap a bottle to pick it up 2. Tap another bottle to pour — matching colors on top can be poured together 3. Sort every color into its own bottle to clear the level Whether you have thirty seconds or thirty minutes, Sortcery is an easy place to unwind. Pick a bottle, pour, and let the colors fall into place.

Place colorful blocks, clear rows and columns, and plan your next move on an 8×8 board. FOUR GAME MODES • Freeplay: Start with an empty board and keep placing blocks to beat your best score. The run ends when none of your available pieces fits. • Surge: Clear the board while new blocks rise from below. Work through a finite wave of incoming rows. A non-clearing placement brings in the next burst of one to three rows; a clear pauses the rise. Clear the board to advance. A round ends if blocks are pushed above the top or no available piece fits. • Expedition: Solve generated boards and advance through increasingly challenging levels. Clear the board or collect the displayed leaf colors to complete the goal, with no move limit. New levels continue as you progress. • Mosaic: Fit every supplied piece into a silhouette. Pick up and reposition placed pieces as you solve patterns of different shapes and sizes, including occasional full 8×8 boards. Browse larger supplies using the tray arrows. No timer or move limit. PLAN YOUR CLEARS Preview the rows and columns you can clear while dragging a piece. Clear multiple lines at once, build a streak on consecutive moves, or empty the whole board for a bonus. COLORFUL BLOCKS AND LEAF BONUSES Play with glossy toy-style blocks and gold, mint and violet leaf badges across all block colors. Each cleared leaf earns 25 bonus points; a full leaf row or column adds another 100. Enjoy animated combos and larger effects for major clears. PLAY YOUR WAY • Drag blocks, or select a piece and tap the board to place it. • Switch between light and dark appearance. • Control music, sound effects and haptics separately. • Resume locally saved boards in each mode. • Sync best scores and unlocked levels through iCloud when available. • Play offline without an account. Blocks have fixed orientations. Colors do not need to match to clear a line. ADS AND PURCHASES All four modes are free to play. Gameplay banners and ads at natural breaks support the free game. A permanent one-time Remove Ads purchase removes both types of ads. No subscriptions, paid lives, or purchases required to progress.
