Water Sort Puzzle - Sortago

ZERO IN-APP PURCHASES. Legit none. This Game just wants you to have fun and be chill. Ads are legit 5 seconds long, not excessive waiting to close. There’s also one banner ad so small I didn’t even realize it was there until I was checking to make this review. It’s so chill. This is a huge plus given most apps like this one make them play 10-30 secs before a skip and then another 5-10 secs to close. They’re also decent (sometimes cute!) ads so far, I haven’t seen any of those shock value or “asmr” ads which is SUCH a relief because those squick me out. Gameplay is exactly what you’d expect where you sort the colors into tubes. Simple and relaxing, you can watch an Ad to replenish your undos and to earn more tubes if you hit a dead end. There’s also no penalty for just restarting the level, no ad break just restart and try again. It starts slow, easing you into all the aspects of the game by unlocking each feature. Tutorial is present but doesn’t feel like it’s dragging you through the process with gritted teeth. It feels like the game wants me to have fun and that’s pretty great. There’s “Goals” or achievements for various milestones you naturally reach during casual gameplay, which give Gold Coins that you can use in the shop to buy different Tube Types, Backgrounds, and Color Sets. Coins are earned from Achievements, Levels, and the Daily Reward Chests. You can also watch a short ad for more Coins as well. There are no “Coin Packs” or an option to remove the ads but with how unobtrusive they are it’s better this way. Feels more like they’re knocking on my doorframe and going “pardon sorry to bother could I have a word? Oh right sorry then bye now.” Seven second interaction at most. Please play this game if you like Sort ‘n Pour type games. The Devs want you to have a good time and it shows in both gameplay and how well the App works and who Good it looks too!!!

I do have extremely bad Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. I always thought that apps claiming to “relax” you were a bunch of bologna after trying several. Found I liked sort pour games, but most have an obscene amount of ads. So stopped. Then Tester Buddy offered this game for their game point things, and this game calms my nerves, my racing thoughts to a calm ocean feel. Also it helps with my chronic insomnia, if I play with my brightness down, for 30 minutes before bed I am out within 15-30 (instead of 2-3 hours). Thank you so much for this app, after deciding to stop anxiety medication due to getting to my 40’s and long term use has been linked to early onset of Alzheimer’s Disease, and after caretaking for my favorite family member my grandmother, I just want to do all I can to stave that off. Thank you for giving my mind and my mental health a remedy that has no side affects! (Note to all: NEVER stop cold turkey anti anxiety medication, it can cause seizures. Talk with your doctor to taper down and then off if that is what you feel is best for you.- Sincerely a reviewer with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling & 2 B.S.

I’ve played similar games but this one is my favorite. There aren’t too many ads and if one pops up, it’s over quickly. I do like the quickness of being able to click on the bottles. I’ve played other ones that won’t let you click on another bottle when one is pouring and it gets annoying-this one is great!
