What is Creep Sort?
Creep Sort is a free, calm sorting puzzle made entirely from twikoi's drawings. Glass jars hold stacks of her creatures; you move them one at a time until every jar holds just one kind.
Every kind is a different creature on its own cushion shape (circle, square, star, heart and more), so you never have to tell kinds apart by colour alone.
There are 264 levels in 22 chapters. Each chapter has one of her creatures as its host and uncovers one of her 22 pictures, one patch of paper per level. There is also a daily jar that is the same for everyone.
How to play
- Tap a jar to lift its top creature. Tap another jar to drop it there. On a computer you can also use the number keys.
- A creature can only drop onto the same creature, or into an empty jar. A jar holds four (tall jars hold five).
- Fill a jar with one creature and it gets a lid. Fill every jar like that to finish the level.
- Fewer moves, more stars. Undo is free and takes the move back. When you finish, you see the fewest moves possible; matching it earns a crown.
- Stuck? A hint shows one good move and an extra jar gives you room. You earn both by playing, never with money.
Features
- 264 levels in 22 chapters, every one checked by a solver so it can always be finished, with the fewest possible moves worked out for each.
- 55 of her creatures to sort, joining a few at a time, plus 22 chapter hosts who watch you play.
- Her 22 pictures to uncover, one patch of paper per level.
- Twists as you go: creatures hiding under paper, locked jars, picky jars that only take one creature, tall jars and snug shelves with a single empty jar.
- Free undo, earned hints and extra jars, and a gentle note when a shelf can no longer be solved.
- A daily jar: the same puzzle for everyone each day, with medals, a streak and a result to share.
Modes, levels and unlocks
- The level path
- 264 levels in 22 chapters. Each level unlocks the next, earns up to three stars and peels the paper off part of her picture.
- Daily jar
- One bigger puzzle a day, the same for everyone, with a twist most days. No hints or extra jars: just you and undo. Medals depend on how close you get to the fewest moves.
- Two short lessons
- Your first two shelves teach lifting, dropping, empty jars and undo by doing them.
Tips
- Keep your empty jars empty as long as you can: they are your room to think.
- Look for the same creature on top of two jars and stack them.
- Dig out the creature buried at the bottom of a nearly-sorted jar first.
- Undo is free. Try an idea and take it back if it goes nowhere.
- On a locked shelf, sort the key creature first: the jar it opens makes everything easier.
Who will like Creep Sort?
Creep Sort is for anyone who likes a calm puzzle: no timer, free undo, and a level takes a minute or three.
It is also for fans of twikoi's art: every creature you sort is one of her drawings, her pictures are the prize, and the creatures you meet link to her real pages.
