Ball Sort
Move glossy candy balls between glass tubes until every tube holds a single color. Endless solver-checked levels, hidden mystery balls, undos, an extra tube and star ratings.
Ball Sort is a cheerful color sorting puzzle set in a pastel candy shop. Each glass tube holds four glossy balls, and you can only move the top ball onto a matching color or into an empty tube. Fill a tube with four of one color and it glows green and locks in with a sparkly chime. Sort every tube to clear the level and shower the screen with confetti.
Every level is generated fresh and checked by a built-in solver, so a solution always exists. The puzzles start with four colors and two empty tubes and grow by a color every two levels up to twelve, with tubes wrapping into extra rows on small screens. From level 8 some lower balls are hidden as grey question marks until they reach the top, so you have to plan around the unknown. Each level gives you five undos and one spare tube; finish with no spare tube and at most two undos for three stars. The game warns you when no legal moves are left, and stars unlock levels and raise your rank from Gumdrop to Sugar Master.
This tube sorting game is ideal for relaxed thinking breaks on phone or desktop. Tip: keep one tube empty for as long as you can, and clear the colors that are already near the top first.
How to play
Tap a tube to lift its top ball, then tap another tube to drop it there. A ball can only go onto a ball of the same color or into an empty tube, and each tube holds four. Fill every tube with a single color to win. You get five undos and one extra empty tube per level; solving without the extra tube and with two undos or fewer earns three stars. Question-mark balls reveal their color when they reach the top. Your score is your total stars.
