About

The Water Sort

Features
Read full description

Sort the colored water until every tube holds a single color. That's the whole idea, and it never gets old. The Water Sort is the classic liquid sorting puzzle, rebuilt the way it should have been: beautiful glass tubes, satisfying pours with real water sounds, and not a single advertisement anywhere. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a tube to lift it, tap another to pour. Liquid only flows onto a matching color or into an empty tube. Plan ahead, because a careless pour can leave you stuck. ENDLESS LEVELS THAT KEEP GETTING HARDER Levels are generated fresh and verified solvable, so there is always another one waiting. Difficulty climbs through seven tiers, from Easy three-color warm-ups through Legend puzzles with fourteen colors, and on to Mythic levels with taller tubes. Every level is ranked by how many moves its solution really takes, so level 300 is genuinely tougher than level 100. MYSTERY TUBES Deep into the game, some tubes hide their lower layers behind question marks. You only learn what's underneath when you pour the top layer away. Plan with incomplete information, or take a gamble. ALREADY A PRO? Played water sort before? Choose your starting point when you first open the app and skip straight to the tier that suits you. You can raise it later any time. PLAY YOUR WAY • Unlimited undo. Step back as far as you like, no ads to watch. • Reset any level with a single confirmation. • Five hints per level that suggest a genuinely good move, not just a legal one. Checking whether you're stuck is always free. • Replay any level you've completed, and track your best move count for each. MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Glass tubes that tilt and pour with a flowing stream and splash. • Water sounds that rise in pitch as a tube fills, plus chimes when a tube is complete. • Haptic feedback on every pour. • A quiet, deep-water background that drifts as you play. • Full iPad support with larger tubes. NOTHING IN THE WAY No ads. No timers. No energy system. No in-app purchases. No account. No tracking. Your progress is saved on your device, and the game works completely offline. Pick it up for a two-minute break or lose an evening to the Legend tier. The tubes will wait.
