Goods Master

In Goods Master the shop is a mess and the shelves need putting right. Jars, bottles and boxes are spread across the store, and each shelf should end up holding one matching set of goods. When a shelf is complete it clears, and the space it leaves is taken by the next batch.

What sets this one apart is the move limit. Each level gives you a fixed number of moves, so every pick-up and placement needs a reason behind it. There are more than 20 levels, described by the developer as hand-crafted, and they get harder as you advance. Three boosters sit at the bottom of the screen: one shuffles the items, one transforms a good into a different one, and a hammer merges goods together. The artwork is in a cartoon style, and the developer mentions combo effects without saying how combos are scored.

Click or tap one of the goods to pick it up. Then click or tap the slot on a shelf where it should go. Fill a shelf with matching goods and it clears. Work through the level within the moves you are given. The booster buttons along the bottom of the screen handle shuffling, transforming and merging.

Count the moves left before you start shifting things around, since the limit applies on every level. If no useful placement is left, the shuffle booster mixes the items up. Transform and the hammer are more targeted: one changes a good into another, the other merges goods.

A shelf sorting puzzle with a move limit. The store is drawn in landscape format. The developer says it is played with mouse or touch only, and sound can be switched off. More than 20 levels are listed, with difficulty rising.

Harvest Store Sorting has helper tools of its own and changes the shape and number of shelves from level to level. Goods Sort Match Puzzle swaps the move count for a timer and stocks drinks, snacks and toys.
