Can you sort all the yarn before the belt fills up? Tap a ball of yarn in the basket and it unravels, knitting itself into fabric as it rides the conveyor belt. Sort the knitted yarn by color to clear the level. It takes ten seconds to learn — but deciding which ball to unravel first will keep you thinking every time. How to play • Tap a ball of yarn and it unravels onto the belt. • Read the belt, then pick which color to send out next. • Fill a basket with a single color and it closes up — complete! • If the belt runs out of room, the game ends. Keeping space free is the trick. Why you'll love it • One-tap controls, nothing to memorize • Breezy at first, genuinely brain-bending later on • No timers — take all the time you want • Boosters ready for when you get stuck • Play anywhere, no internet needed Glass-lidded baskets, color-locked baskets, tunnels that swallow your yarn and spit it back out — every level brings something new to work around. So, can you get every last ball of yarn neatly sorted? Start now!

Tap Brick Out is a color-sorting brick puzzle with one simple rule: every brick leaves through the wall of its own color. Tap a red brick and it slides up. Yellow slides down, green goes left, blue goes right. If the path is clear, the brick is gone. If another brick is in the way, nothing moves - and the move is still spent. So the puzzle is never "which brick", it is "in what order". HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a brick to send it toward its matching wall - Red up, yellow down, green left, blue right - A blocked brick stays put, so read the board before you tap - Clear every brick before the moves run out 1,000 LEVELS - 1,000 levels, from four-piece starters to dense walls of interlocking bricks - Hard and Super Hard boards are marked before you start one - Every board is checked by a solver, so every level has a real solution - All levels ship inside the app - nothing to download before you play THREE BOOSTERS - Hint: points out a brick that can leave right now - +3 Moves: when you are one tap short - Hammer: smash a brick that is in the way NO TIMERS Nothing is racing you. A level ends when the board is clear or the moves run out, so you can take as long as you like on a single tap. Portrait, one hand, short sessions. Play a level while the kettle boils, or sit down with a Super Hard board and work it out properly. Tap Brick Out is made by Narcade.
