Color Sort is a satisfying tube-sorting puzzle where you pour coloured layers between tubes to sort each colour into a single tube. Each move pours the top layer (or a stack of matching top layers) from one tube into another, but only if the destination tube has a matching top colour or is empty. The puzzle is complete when every tube contains only one colour.
The game is algorithmically generated using a reverse-scramble technique that guarantees every puzzle is solvable in the displayed number of steps or fewer. There are no dead-end puzzles, no unsolvable states — only configurations that require more or less clever move sequencing. This commitment to puzzle quality is what separates Color Sort from many similar games with random generation.
Difficulty scales through the number of tubes, the number of distinct colours, and how deeply the colours are interleaved. At Beginner level, you have fewer colours and an extra empty tube to work with as a buffer. At Cyborg, every tube is packed to capacity, colours are deeply interlocked, and the empty-tube buffer is minimal — sequences of 30 or more moves are required to reach the solution.
Color Sort includes an undo system with a per-difficulty move budget. Beginner players get unlimited undos; expert levels restrict the budget, making undo a resource to be managed carefully. The hint system suggests the next optimal pour without showing the full solution, maintaining the puzzle-solving experience.
