How to play

  1. Tap a tube to pick it up, then tap where to pour.
  2. You can only pour onto the same colour, or into an empty tube.
  3. Every tube must end up holding one colour.
  4. Undo is free and unlimited.
  5. One extra tube can be bought per level for a hundred points.

Controls

Keyboard

  • ← → move between tubes
  • Space pours into the first tube that will take it
  • Z to undo
  • P to pause

Touch

  • Tap a tube, then the tube to pour into
  • Undo and Extra tube sit at the bottom

Controller

  • D-pad or left stick to move
  • A / Cross for action, B / Circle for secondary
  • Start to pause

Tips for a better score

  • Empty a tube completely before you start filling it. An empty tube is worth more than any half-sorted one.
  • Pouring moves the whole run of one colour at once, so a tube with three of the same on top empties in a single tap.
  • Work out where each colour will finish before your first pour: two spare tubes is not much room to change your mind.
  • The extra tube costs a hundred points and lasts the level. Undo costs nothing, so wind back first and only buy it when genuinely stuck.

About Colour Sort

Colour Sort is a bench of laboratory tubes filled with layers of coloured liquid, jumbled up. Pour the top layer of one tube onto a matching layer in another, or into an empty one, until every tube holds a single colour. Each rack is dealt at random and then checked by a solver before you see it, so every board can be finished. Undo is free, and an extra tube can be bought once a level for a hundred points if a rack has you stuck. Every colour carries its own symbol as well, so the puzzle never depends on telling two shades apart. Levels grow from three colours to ten.
