Lift & Sort
Lift & Sort puts you in control of a construction crane, but your task isn't building—it's organizing. Each level presents a jumble of colored blocks scattered across a platform. Your job is to carefully pick up each block and set it down in the bin that matches its color. What starts as a simple sorting exercise quickly evolves, as new blocks appear and the platform becomes more crowded, forcing you to think ahead about the order of your moves. The game's charm lies in its blend of precision and strategy. You must not only decide which block to move next but also maneuver the crane without disturbing the pieces you've already placed. With each level, the difficulty ramps up, introducing new arrangements and tighter spaces. It's a calm yet engaging challenge that rewards patience and spatial awareness, making it a perfect pick for puzzle enthusiasts who enjoy a satisfying mental workout.

What is Lift & Sort
Lift & Sort is a crane-based puzzle game where you match colored blocks to their designated bins. It's a test of planning and careful execution.
How to Play
Use the crane controls to move the hook over a block, pick it up, and then position it over the matching colored bin to release it. Complete the level by sorting all blocks correctly.
Tips for Playing
- Before moving, scan the whole layout to identify which blocks are hardest to reach.
- Prioritize moving blocks that block access to other pieces.
- Use the crane's precise positioning to stack blocks neatly in bins, saving space.
- Plan a route for each block to avoid moving the crane back and forth unnecessarily.
- When stuck, reposition the crane to a new angle to see the layout better.
