Ice Cream Sorting

Ice Cream Sorting fills its shelves with frozen desserts and asks you to sort them into sets. Drag an ice cream from one shelf to another, and when three identical treats share a shelf they are cleared away. Some desserts start out hidden, and clearing matches brings them into view.

The developer lists hundreds of these puzzles. A timer runs while you play, and the game has its own way of dealing with it: you can pause the clock by watching a rewarded advert, which gives you extra thinking time. The other help on offer is a Shuffle booster for positions where nothing will match. Achievements are awarded as you progress, and the interface language can be switched whenever you like from the Settings menu. The developer describes the puzzles as relaxing yet challenging, which in practice means a timed game with a way to stop the clock.

Drag an ice cream and drop it on another shelf. Collect three identical ice creams on the same shelf to clear them, which also reveals items that were hidden. Keep going until the level is finished. If the timer is getting short, you can watch a rewarded advert to pause it, and Shuffle mixes things up when you are stuck.

Each match clears three treats and can uncover hidden ones, so the board changes after every clear and is worth looking over again. Pausing the timer through a rewarded advert gives you time to plan without the clock running. Keep Shuffle for positions where no match is possible.
