About

Cat Magic Sort

Features
Read full description

Sort colorful water, one bottle at a time. MagicSort is a cat-themed puzzle game where thoughtful pours turn mixed colors into neatly sorted bottles. Tap a bottle, then choose an empty bottle or one with a matching top color and enough room. Plan your moves until each filled bottle holds a single color. There is no timer, so you can take your time and try different approaches. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME - Explore 60 levels with colorful liquid, glass bottles, and cheerful cat artwork. - Learn the rules with optional tips in the first five levels. - Undo pours or restart a level when you want to try another route. Undo keeps any extra bottles you have added. - Resume your unfinished puzzle with automatic saves on your device. - Revisit unlocked levels and track your best move counts, with separate records for solo and assisted completions. A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM Each level starts with one free extra-bottle opportunity. After using it, you can choose to watch a rewarded ad to earn another bottle credit for that level. Tap Add Empty Bottle to spend the credit when you need it. Restarting a level does not restore spent credits. Rewarded ads require an internet connection and are subject to availability. PLAY YOUR WAY Turn on color aid symbols to help distinguish colors, reduce animations, and adjust sound effects, haptics, and tutorial tips in Settings. Available for iPhone and iPad in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. No account is required.

No ads. No timer. Just cute sharks and a clever logic puzzle. Place one shark in every color region and one in every row and column — and sharks can never touch, not even diagonally. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, so you can always solve it with pure logic. No guessing. {H}No ads No ads while you solve, no ads after you clear a level. No in-app purchases, either. {H}Take your time There is no timer. Close the app whenever you like — your board waits right where you left it. {H}Shak! ShakShak! ShakShakShak! Place sharks correctly in a row and the Korean shout 「샥!」 ("shak!") grows by one syllable each time. Three in a row and you hear the game's name. {H}Chase real players The anonymous score just above yours shows up as your rival — as a clownfish, pufferfish, octopus, crab, sea turtle or jellyfish. Swim past them for bonus points. {H}330 levels and a Daily Puzzle From a 4×4 tutorial board up to big 10×10 grids — 330 levels, with a small breather board every 10 levels. The first boards show you each rule step by step. Clear 10 levels to unlock the Daily Puzzle, a new board every day that grows bigger and trickier toward the weekend. {H}Stuck? Hint. Slipped? Undo. A hint points straight to where the next shark goes. Placed a shark in the wrong spot? Undo it and get your heart back. After a tough level, open the Shark's solving notes to see the solution step by step, with the reason for each move. Hints and undos refill for free every day, up to a daily limit. {H}A new sea every level Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Southern Ocean and Arctic — each level takes you to a different sea. {H}Easy controls Tap once for an ×, double-tap for a shark, swipe to mark many × at once. On the first three levels, placing a shark crosses out the cells it blocks automatically; after that, you choose whether to mark × yourself or automatically (change it anytime in Settings). {H}Good to know Placing a shark in the wrong cell costs a heart. Hearts refill over time, and the Daily Puzzle and tutorial boards never cost hearts. 12 languages: English, 한국어, 日本語, 繁體中文, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Русский, Bahasa Indonesia, ไทย, Tiếng Việt No sign-up. Your scores appear only under an automatic anonymous nickname.
