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 โ€” 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 โ€” once per level. Colors buried at the bottom rise to the top, and choosing WHEN to cast becomes part of the puzzle itself. FEATURES โ€ข Endless levels that grow steadily more challenging โ€” every single one is generated to be solvable โ€ข The Gravity Spell: a one-time, board-wide flip that rewards clever timing โ€ข Undo your last pour, restart anytime, or use a hint when you're truly stuck โ€ข Unlock new bottle shapes as you progress: slim vials, flasks, jars, boots and bathtubs โ€ข Calm pacing with soothing sounds and satisfying pours โ€” no timers, no move limits, no pressure โ€ข Play in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Simplified Chinese โ€ข Designed with VoiceOver and accessibility in mind HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap a bottle to pick it up 2. Tap another bottle to pour โ€” 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.

About

Rainrelay

A little rain. A garden in bloom. Step inside Rainrelay, a cozy puzzle game set in a clay-style greenhouse. Place a few umbrellas, choose where the rain should go, and find a path to every plant. EVERY UMBRELLA COUNTS Each garden gives you a limited set of umbrellas. Point ordinary umbrellas left or right, use split umbrellas to feed two branches, and leave useful sockets empty so the rain can fall straight through. Some flowerpots pass water to the plants below. Think through the route, then tap Rain to see your idea come to life. 30 GARDENS TO EXPLORE Start with a single turn and grow into puzzles with several tiers, shared streams, and winding paths. Water every plant to finish a garden. Reach both bells in the same successful run to earn all three stars. Retry, undo, and step-by-step hints let you explore at your own pace, without timers or lives. A GREENHOUSE OF YOUR OWN Earn seeds through play and use them to build your collection: 9 umbrella styles, 10 flowers, and 8 decorations. Arrange flowers and furniture, admire your folded umbrellas on the rack, and watch your owned umbrella fabrics bring variety to the puzzle boards. MAKE TIME FOR A LITTLE CALM Swipe around your spacious greenhouse and zoom in on a favorite corner. The light follows your device's local time, while in-game wind and snow bring movement to the view outside. Play the puzzles and enjoy your greenhouse offline. From Garden 04, you can choose an optional rewarded ad for extra seeds when an ad is available; continuing, retrying, and hints remain available without watching one. The collection uses seeds earned in the game. Available in English and Vietnamese, with layouts for iPhone and iPad, sound controls, and a reduced-motion setting. No account is needed to play.
