Kitchen Sorting

Kitchen Sorting borrows the rules of ball sort and water sort games and moves them into a kitchen. Instead of coloured liquid, the glass jars on the counter hold cooking ingredients, mixed together, and your task is to separate them so each jar holds one kind.

A tap on a jar lifts one or more ingredients of the same kind from its top. They can be dropped onto the same ingredient in another jar, or into an empty jar, and nowhere else. Once the ingredients are sorted, they are poured into the pot and a meal gets cooked. If you prefer gestures, you can swipe from one jar to another instead of tapping twice; the developer offers both. That is the full extent of what is described: there is no level count, no list of meals and no mention of a timer. The kitchen is drawn in a portrait frame.

Tap a jar to pick up ingredients of one kind from its top. Tap a second jar to drop them. They can only land on the same ingredient or in an empty jar. You can also swipe from the jar you are taking from to the jar you are filling. Sort every jar, and the ingredients go into the pot to cook.

An empty jar is the only place that takes any ingredient, so leave one free while you can. Because a tap may lift more than one piece of the same kind, check how many are sitting at the top before choosing where they go. Swiping and tapping do the same job, so use whichever is quicker.

A ball sort style puzzle with cooking ingredients in glass jars. The kitchen fits a portrait frame. Controls are taps, with a swipe as an alternative. The developer gives no level count and no list of meals.

Magic Water Sort: Color Puzzle has the same empty-or-matching rule with bottles of coloured water. Crystal Cave Sort pours gemstones between crystal tunnels across 200 levels.
