IKA SORT is a puzzle where you untangle tanks full of mixed-up squids and sort them by color. Get 4 squids of the same color into one tank and the ink bursts — tank complete! Only the top squid of each tank can move, so the fun is in working out the right order of moves.
Clear Hard all the way to level 1,000 for a Squid IQ of 299!
How to play IKA SORT
- Tap a tank to lift its top squid, then tap another tank to move the squid there.
- You can only move a squid onto a squid of the same color, or into an empty tank. Each tank holds up to 4 squids.
- Put 4 squids of the same color in one tank to complete it. Sort every color to clear the level.
- Made a wrong move? Use Undo to step back. Stuck? A hint shows you which squid to move and where.
- Even if you run out of moves, you can add one empty tank (once per level) and keep playing from where you are.
Screenshots
Features
- Three modes — Easy, Normal and Hard — with 1,000 levels each. Clear 100 levels of one mode to unlock the next.
- Later levels add twists: mini tanks, frozen tanks, mystery squids marked with ? and locked tanks. Every 10th level is a boss level.
- In Easy and Normal, a squid meteor sometimes crashes in and carries off a whole color for you. (You can turn it off in Settings.)
- Clearing levels earns pearls, which you can spend on hints or an extra empty tank. Clear a level with no undos or hints to earn a ★.
- The underwater scenery changes as you go, from sunny lagoons to coral reefs, and you can pick your own background music.
How the game goes
There are three modes, Easy, Normal and Hard, and clearing 100 stages in one opens the next. Early tanks are simple, but soon new twists show up: mini tanks, frozen tanks, hidden "?" squids and locked tanks. A boss stage waits every 10 stages. In Easy and Normal, a squid meteor sometimes carries off a whole color for you. As you move on, the ocean scenery changes too, from lagoons to coral reefs.
IKA SORT tips
- An empty tank is your trump card. Don't fill it right away — save it for the moment it really matters.
- Tanks with matching colors stacked on top are easy to tidy up, so deal with those first.
- Plan early to dig out the colors buried deepest at the bottom; it keeps you from getting stuck later.
- Mini tanks are only parking spots. For frozen and locked tanks, finish the colors that open them first.
Who it’s for
Great for anyone who enjoys tidying things up and thinking at their own pace. Watching the colorful squids line up is so satisfying that one more level always sounds like a good idea.
