The Sorting Mart

The Sorting Mart has shelves stacked on top of one another, and that is where its puzzle comes from. Move items between shelves until three identical products sit together; they clear, and the shelf above drops into the gap.

Go further and empty a whole stack, and the shelves next to it slide across. So each match changes the layout above it, and each finished stack changes the layout beside it. The aim in every level is to collect all the items before the timer expires, and the developer says the levels become more demanding as you progress. When nothing on screen lines up, a shuffle button mixes the shelves to give you fresh matches to look for. The game is set in a shop and played in a wide landscape frame.

Drag an item from one shelf to another with your mouse or touchpad. Put three matching items on the same shelf to clear them, and the shelves stacked above will drop. Clear an entire stack and the neighbouring shelves shift over. Collect every item before the time runs out to finish the level.

Every clear pulls the shelves above it down, so a match can expose new items as well as removing three. Watch what sits above a shelf before you complete it. If the timer is ticking and no match is visible, the shuffle button rearranges the shelves for you.

A timed shelf matching puzzle with stacked shelves. The shop fits a wide landscape frame. Input, per the developer, is a mouse or a touchpad. Levels grow harder, but no level total is stated.

Supermarket Sort N Match uses the same dropping and shifting shelves, with difficulty rising level by level. Halloween Store Sort fills its shelves with Halloween toys and decorations and hides more shelves above and to the sides.
