The project
Project Overview
Order out of a very crowded station.
Every level drops you into a packed station full of color-coded passengers and a lot full of buses waiting to leave. Your job is to get everyone onto the right ride, in the right order, before the waiting area overflows and the jam locks for good.
Sort puzzles only feel simple when the level design underneath is doing careful work. We built a steady difficulty curve, then introduced new obstacles and mechanics at the exact points where players were ready for something new.

Challenges and Solutions
Clear at a glance
Crowded boards confuse players before they make a single move.
Use strong color coding and clean layouts so the next good move is always visible.
Difficulty that climbs
Puzzle players drop off when levels spike or stall.
Pace new obstacles and mechanics across the level set so the challenge rises steadily.
The satisfying clear
Sorting needs a payoff to feel rewarding.
Give every filled bus and cleared station strong visual and sound feedback.
