About

Sort Parade!

Read full description

Welcome to Sort Parade, a puzzle about sorting cards by what they are. The board is a mix of themes — feathers, minerals, penguins, astronauts. Move a card onto the collection card for its theme, fill it up, and that whole theme leaves the board. Cards below slide up to fill the gap. Clear every theme on the board to finish the level. The closer two cards look, the more careful you should be. A striped butterfly and a striped gift, a robot and a piece of space gear — some cards take a second look before you know where they belong. A wrong drop still costs you a move, so look before you sort. Features • Over 600 levels, each with a new set of themes to sort • 3 holding slots — park a card that has nowhere to go yet • Hidden cards — move the card beside one to reveal what it is • Hint, Undo and Magnet — three items for when you get stuck • No timer — take your time, just watch your move count • Simple drag controls, easy to play with one hand One quick level or a long session. A card puzzle that rewards picking the right order, never rushing you. Start sorting with Sort Parade today!
