What is Atelier Sorter?

Atelier Sorter is a sorting puzzle about weight and space. Each shelf collects one kind of item and can only carry so much, so you move items between shelves and a small workbench until every shelf holds only its own kind. Every level has a par move count, and you earn up to three stars for matching it without help from the hint. There are 100 levels in four rooms.

How to play

  1. Read each shelf: it shows the kind of item it collects and its weight limit. Items weigh 1 to 5 ◆ (leaf 1, lantern 2, crystal 3, compass 4, globe 5).
  2. Tap an item to pick it up, then tap the shelf or workbench place where it should go. You can also drag it there. Places that can take the item glow.
  3. A move is refused when the target has no free place, or when a shelf would end up over its weight limit. The workbench has only a few places but no weight limit, so use it to park items while you rearrange.
  4. Keep going until every shelf is full of its own kind and the workbench is empty. The counter at the top compares your moves with the level's par.
  5. Undo as many moves as you like, or restart the level. Use the hint to see a move on the shortest route and how many moves remain.

Tips

  • Weight is the real limit. Heavy compasses and globes often need an almost empty shelf or the workbench for a while, so plan their route first.
  • The workbench only has one or two places. If you fill it with items you cannot place yet, you run out of room to manoeuvre.
  • Undo is unlimited, so try an idea and take it back if it boxes you in.
  • For three stars, finish within par moves and do not use the hint. Two stars allow a few extra moves: the larger of 2 and a quarter of par.

Atelier Sorter FAQ

How many levels are there?

There are 100 levels in four rooms of 25: Greenhouse Nook, Lantern Loft, Crystal Cellar and Star Dome. Each level unlocks after you finish the one before.

Can I get stuck?

No. Every move can be undone and the level can be restarted, so you can always back out of a bad position.

What does the hint cost me?

You can use it as often as you want, but a level finished after using a hint cannot earn three stars.

Is progress saved?

Yes. The game saves after every move, so an unfinished level resumes where you left it, along with your stars, best move counts and settings.
