Harvest Store Sorting

Harvest Store Sorting is set in the countryside, where the season's fruit has been gathered and needs sorting onto the shop shelves. The target for each level is simple to state: every shelf should hold only one type of fruit.

Placement has a rule. A fruit can go onto a shelf that already holds the same type, or onto an empty shelf, and nowhere else. Space is limited, so an empty shelf is worth a lot. What changes from level to level is the shelving itself: the developer says the shelves come in different shapes and in different numbers, so the layout you are working with shifts each time. If a level has you stuck, tools are available to make it easier to get through, although the game's description does not name them or say how many you get.

Click a fruit to pick it up. Move it over a shelf that holds the same fruit, or over an empty shelf, and click again to put it down. Continue until each shelf carries just one kind of fruit. When every shelf is consistent, the level is complete and you go on to the next.

Because a fruit can only join its own kind or an empty shelf, keep at least one shelf clear for as long as you can. Look at the shape of each new layout before the first move, since the shelves differ from level to level. Save the helper tools for real dead ends.

Fruit Shelf Sort also deals in fruit, but clears it in sets of three against a timer over 40 levels. Fruit Box Sort sends fruit along a conveyor belt into containers across 210 levels.
