Quick answer

What is Shelf Rescue?

Shelf Rescue is a timed book-sorting game. Pick up the scattered books and place each on its matching shelf: red Mystery, purple Fantasy, blue Science or green Poetry. A wrong shelf sends the book back, removes three seconds and breaks the combo. Correct placements in a row increase the score multiplier to x5. From level two, rare gold books can go on any shelf and give extra time. Clear the floor to advance; if the timer runs out, the run ends.

Clear a shelf round

  1. Press or touch a floor book and drag it to the shelf with the same color and genre. The correct row highlights while you hold the book.
  2. Release on the correct row to score. A wrong row returns the book to the floor, costs three seconds and resets the combo; releasing outside a shelf does not impose that penalty.
  3. Place gold rare books on any row. They appear from the second level, give 50 extra points and add five seconds.
  4. Clear all floor books before time expires. Remaining seconds add to the score and determine the one-to-three-star rating, then the next level has more books.

Sort with less waste

  • Check the book color before lifting it. A fast wrong drop costs both time and the current multiplier.
  • Take a gold book when the clock is tight: its time bonus can make the difference between clearing and losing the round.
  • The browser keeps best score and highest level reached, not a partially sorted board. A new run begins at level one.

Shelf Rescue FAQ

What happens if I choose the wrong shelf?

The book returns to the floor, three seconds are lost and the combo resets.

Where can a gold book go?

On any shelf. It also adds 50 points and five seconds.

How do I finish a level?

Place every floor book on a valid shelf before the timer reaches zero.

Does the game have a final level?

The code keeps advancing levels rather than ending at a fixed last level. The regular-book count caps at 24 per level.

What is saved?

Best score and highest level reached are stored in this browser; the current board is not restored.
