Sorting frogs

Sorting frogs takes the popular sorting genre and swaps the usual coloured balls or liquids for frogs. The idea stays the same: get similar items grouped together through careful moves. The difference is that each piece here is a little amphibian with its own look.

The description emphasises scale and variety. There are very many levels, a large range of frogs and several variations of levels, so the puzzles do not all follow one template. The graphics are singled out as a highlight, and a sorting game lives or dies on how easy it is to tell its pieces apart at a glance.

Progress is rewarded in a few ways. You pass levels, you collect achievements and you unlock new kinds of frogs, which gives the collection side of the game its own pull. Tagged as a logic game, it suits players who like calm, step-by-step thinking more than speed. Frogs come in a remarkable range of real-world colours, so the theme fits a sorting puzzle neatly.

1. Look at how the frogs are mixed across the level.
2. Move frogs one at a time to group matching ones.
3. Finish the sort to pass the level.
4. Collect achievements and unlock new kinds of frogs.

Think a few moves ahead before placing a frog. In sorting puzzles a hasty move can block the space you needed next.
