Solve satisfying sorting puzzles, load delivery trucks, and build the city of tomorrow! Welcome to City Builder: Sort & Build, the tactile sorting puzzle that blends spatial logic with rewarding city-building payoffs. If you love organizing, matching materials, and watching thriving city districts rise piece by piece, your new favorite puzzle awaits. HOW TO PLAY 1. Sort the Components: Tap colorful architectural components (terracotta bricks, seasoned timber beams, golden bolts, and steel brackets) to move them from the workshop grid into your holding queue. 2. Clear the Queue: Match 3 components of the same type to assemble them into the active blueprint order. 3. Mind the Slots: Your holding queue has limited capacity! Plan your moves strategically so your workbench never jams. 4. Fulfill the Blueprints: Complete all project orders to clear the site, earn gold stars, and collect valuable Blueprint Points! RESTORE THE MEGACITY Take your earned Blueprint Points from the workshop straight to the city restoration grounds! ⢠Rebuild majestic architectural landmarks across 6 distinct city districts, from the historic Grand City Hall & Clock Tower to the high-tech Hydroponic Market Pavilion. ⢠Choose your own finishes: classical granite, cobblestone heritage, emerald solarpunk glass, or modern gilded bronze. ⢠Watch each stage transform as your craftsmanship revitalizes the metropolis.
