How to play Tilt Sort
You never move a candy yourself. You turn the whole tray, and gravity drops every loose piece at once. Get every sweet into the jar with its own mark.
Tilting
Each tilt turns the tray 90 degrees, left or right. Everything that can fall, falls until it hits a wall, a crate or another piece.
- Gold dials: tap the left or right dial.
- Swipe: swipe left or right across the tray.
- Motion tilt: roll your phone left or right. Hold it level again before the next tilt. Turn it off in the menu if you prefer.
- Keyboard: arrow keys or A and D. Z undoes, R retries, H shows a hint.
Jars and crates
There are four candies: red hearts, gold stars, green clubs and blue diamonds. A candy sinks only into the jar with the same symbol. Any other jar acts like a wall, so a wrong jar can be just as useful as a block.
Crates never sink. They tumble with the tray and block the way. Often the trick is to park a crate where it stops a candy at the right spot.
Par and stars
Each level has a tilt budget and a par, the smallest number of tilts that solves it. Solve in par for three stars, a little over for two, and anything else for one. Undo is free, so experiment.
Run out of tilts and you can grab three more, or start the tray again. Every one of the 41 levels has been checked by a solver, so there is always a way out.
Hints and powers
- Hint: a glowing arrow shows your next tilt and how many tilts are left from where you stand. You start with three.
- Smash: tap Smash, then tap a crate to break it.
- Magnet: pulls every candy of the colour with the most left straight into its jar.
- Autopilot: the solver plays two perfect tilts that do not use your budget.
You get one free charge of each power. In the Android app, more charges come from a short video ad.
