Ok I need to come back to this when I have a mouse. Fun idea and I like the shop. Cool easy graphics that just work. Very stressful!

ah yes! the very relatable feeling of having to throw costumers into a bottomless pit before your boss fires you lol. really fun game i enjoyed the mechanics, you get a plus for implementing upgrades. nice work :smile:

Oh gee I'm gonna need a faster mouse for this one :laughing:
Very addictive and great spread of new mechanics to keep things fresh.

I get a "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." when I try to open the game.

I really love it. for the theme this it's good, but it will be better to control the time, like buy +2s or for each ball you score it you get +0.5s and wrong score = -1s like that

Really cool concept. I like how the game gets more difficult the longer you play. I also thought the upgrades was a nice touch. Great work!

Cool, funny, challenging! I like it. The circles where sometimes a little hard to garb...

This is way too good for such a simple game, just that fact that you hide the color of the buckets brings in that little extra confusion at the start and once that's sorted out you have to worry about bombs.

I think this would be even more fun if there were more meaningful upgrades.

Thank you everyone for your kind words so far!! Was great developing this, a big learning process, infact, missed a fairly major bug when releasing which I've fixed now! May need to use the itch.io version found here - https://omph.itch.io/sortmerightout

## Update
- ​Issue where bombs would remove all lives
- Issue where text wasn't centered

I liked the game very much. The ten seconds theme fits very well and I found it very original. It is fun and the gameplay is very good.

Pretty fun game. I love the little faces of the 'customers'

So addictive! 100% agree with everything @drsmey said.

On the critique side, if you're holding a ball when the upgrade screen pops up you immediately drop the ball. This caused me to missort and lose a life twice. But overall this game is so novel and fun.

@DrSmey - Yeah would of loved to add more shop upgrades, at least something more impactful to gameplay, just ran out of time as per!

@bcollins0000 - Ahh i see what you mean, can add it to the bug lists if I take this further.

Thanks for playing it though :*

Really nice game, super addictive and also very stressful haha. After a couple of tries I got pretty good at it. I just wished the bombs would move faster, but them being slow also adds nicely to the pressure. The only I found is that the stats in the end didn't seem to get reset after a restart but just kept on adding up. But with a clean new start, I got a pretty nice score.

This reminds me a lot of Wilmont's warehouse and it is not a bad thing :D Really addictive and stressing game.

@stefan-laimer - good spot! Was a rushed last minute addition adding that screen haha. I'll create a bugfix version for it now.

@spacecadet - Funny you should say that, done the customers in a simliar style to wimlot and the music is from the game!

I really like the faces on the different customers and the boss. It's a very clean and easy to understand game for the most part, I was surprised at the shop mechanic, but it ended up helping immensely. Good work!

That got intense fast!! Really fun and challenging and eventually overwhelming -such a cool idea the way it overflows and when the labels for the slots disappeared i was like noooooooo xD but somehow remembered and eventually got used to that -really interesting pacing -between that and the chimes every delivery it made for an almost hypnotic experience -awesome work on this!! :D

This was incredibly fun! Great job for your first entry! At first it seemed really basic and easy but when the labels disappeared I knew it was go time. Great ramp up in difficulty! I like the upgrades but I think they could have been a bit more creative. Also I feel the bomb weight was a little too heavy. I had a bomb come down once that got jammed between other balls and even though I reacted as quickly as humanly possible, it couldn't drag to the disposal in time. Great entry, and thank you for the game!

Really solid game this, love it - well done! Only refinement might be making the bomb a little easier to move.

That's a cool game! Quite addictive :) The bombs are moving a bit too slow for me, I cannot make on time with them to the defusal zone most of the time. Anyway, great job!
