About

Sort The Mess!

Features
Read full description

Sort the Mess is a tidy-up puzzle where the furniture moves. Plush animals, fruit and snacks, school supplies, garden critters and a room full of treasure are piled on the floor. Tap a set, drop it into the cabinet, watch the room come together. Simple… until a compartment is one slot too small and the only way forward is to slide the shelf itself. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap matching items to pick them up, then tap a compartment to put them away. • Grab a handle to slide a partition and resize the compartments on either side. • Some shelves ride a rail: send them up a floor to free space below. • Keys open locked doors. Golden slots wait for the one piece that belongs there. • Put the wrong thing away? Double-tap the row to empty it and try again. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Fitting is not the same as right. Some sets slide in nicely and block everything else. Spotting them is the game. • Nothing is hidden. When a shelf refuses to move, something is in the way, and you can see what. • One thumb, short levels. Each new idea is shown in one level, then mixed with the ones before. 100 HAND-MADE LEVELS IN 5 ROOMS Toy Room, Kitchen, Classroom, Garden and Treasure Room, each with its own objects and its own kind of trap. New mechanics arrive every few levels, so the game keeps changing shape all the way to the end. Satisfying pops, a clean floor, a little confetti. Then the next mess.
