Spin the rings. Sort the gems. Orbit Sort is a calm ring puzzle. Colored rings overlap, and where two rings touch they share a hole. Tap the right side of a ring to spin it one notch clockwise, or the left side to spin it the other way. Gems ride along with the ring, and a gem sitting in a shared hole can cross onto the other ring. Get every gem onto the ring of its own color and the board is solved. It takes a minute to learn. The real puzzle is doing it in as few spins as possible: match the par for a level and you earn 3 stars. HOW TO PLAY - Tap the right half of a ring to spin it clockwise, the left half to spin it counterclockwise. - Gems change rings only through the holes that two rings share. - Sort every color onto its matching ring to win. - From level 10, some rings are linked by a belt: spin one and its partner turns the same way. FEATURES - 1000 levels, from a two-ring warm-up to boards with six rings - Stars and par: up to 3 stars per level for matching the par spin count - Endless mode unlocks at level 10: new random boards with 4 to 8 rings, every time - A new daily puzzle every day, the same for everyone, with a streak to keep - Color-blind marks in Settings put a shape on each gem color - Relaxing music, with separate switches for music, sound effects and haptics - Undo and Reset whenever you like, so you can test an idea and take it back - A dark, calm look that is easy on the eyes at night - Plays offline, no account and no sign-in - Free to play, supported by ads WHY PLAYERS LIKE IT Each board is a small logic puzzle about planning a few moves ahead. Spinning a ring is simple; finding the shortest route that sends every gem home is the part that keeps your brain busy. Play a level on the bus, or settle in for a long Endless session. If you enjoy color sort, ball sort or other sorting and logic puzzles, try a puzzle where the whole board turns.
