Get ready for a colorful crowd sorting challenge! In Crowd Sort, your goal is simple: sort the crowds into their matching colored holes and clear the entire board. But choosing the right container at the right time is the key to winning. Tap the crowd containers to send people onto the conveyor. When their color matches one of the available holes, they’ll move toward their destination. Choose a color that isn’t currently available, and those people will have to wait on the conveyor. Be careful — space is limited! Fill the conveyor with crowds that can’t be sorted, and it’s game over. As you progress, levels introduce more colors, tricky container layouts, hidden crowds, and increasingly challenging situations that will put your planning skills to the test. Can you sort every crowd without getting stuck? Features: * Simple and satisfying tap-to-sort gameplay * Colorful crowd-matching puzzles * Challenging levels that require smart planning * Limited conveyor space that makes every move count * Hidden containers and unexpected challenges * Smooth animations and satisfying crowd movement * Easy to learn, but increasingly tricky to master Find the right order, match every color, and clear the crowd in Crowd Sort!

Looking for a puzzle that calms you down and works your brain at the same time? Welcome to Pick Hex - pure logic puzzle, where every number is a clue and every gem is a buried treasure. One mission: read the numbers, and dig out every gem. Simple rules, deep strategy: • The Clue: every number counts the gems hidden in the tiles touching it - nothing more, nothing less • The Dig: tap a tile to dig. There is no undo, so be sure before you commit • The Clear: satisfy a number and it clears itself off the board, getting you one step closer to the solution New mechanics as you go: • Big gems spanning several tiles - dig up every piece to claim them • Locked numbers that stay silent until you unearth the buried key • Crates hiding whole sections of the board, blasted open by a fuse • The pickaxe, for the one tile you cannot crack Why Pick Hex stays on your phone: • No timer, ever. Think for five seconds or five minutes • Play offline - built for commutes, queues and coffee breaks • Levels never run out, you can play as long as you want • Seconds to learn, and the logic keeps turning in your head long after you put the phone down Ready to put your logic to the test?
