๐Ÿงช Chroma Sort โ€” Support

Thanks for playing Chroma Sort! Here are answers to common questions. If you need more help, email support@onyxtech.info and we'll get back to you.

How to play

What am I trying to do?

Tap a tube to lift the top run of one colour, then tap another tube to pour it. A pour is legal onto an empty tube, or onto the same colour if there is room. You win when every tube is either empty or holds a single colour.

Why won't it let me pour?

The destination either holds a different colour on top or has no room left. Pouring onto an empty tube is always legal โ€” spare tubes are the resource you are really managing.

Can I get stuck with no way to win?

No. Every board is built by taking a finished one and scrambling it with legal moves played in reverse, so a solution provably exists โ€” replaying those moves forwards solves it. If you paint yourself into a corner, Undo and Restart are both there, and the Hint button searches from your current position and suggests a move from a line that genuinely wins, never a dead end.

Modes

What is the difference between Endless, Hard, and Daily?

Endless ramps gently from 3 up to 12 colours with two spare tubes. Hard gives you a single spare tube and caps at 9 colours โ€” a real difficulty spike. Daily is one seeded puzzle that is identical for everyone on that date.

Is the Daily puzzle the same for everyone?

Yes โ€” it is generated from the date, so you and everyone else get exactly the same board. Solve it each day to build a daily streak.

Game Center

What do the leaderboards track?

Highest Endless level, highest Hard level, best win streak, and daily-challenge streak. Tap the ๐Ÿ† button in the top bar to see where you stand and which achievements you have earned.

The ๐Ÿ† button isn't there / says I'm signed out.

The button appears only when Game Center is available. Sign in under Settings โ–ธ Game Center, then relaunch. The game is fully playable signed out โ€” you just won't post scores.

Progress and accessibility

Is my progress saved?

Yes, automatically on your device โ€” levels, best scores, streaks, and your daily history. Deleting the app clears it.

I have trouble telling the colours apart.

Tap the โ— button in the top bar to turn on colourblind mode, which puts a distinct symbol on every ball โ€” including balls mid-pour. There is also a light/dark theme toggle, and the game respects your system's Reduce Motion setting.

Can I turn the sound off?

Yes โ€” the ๐Ÿ”Š button in the top bar toggles all sound effects.

Requirements

Does it need an internet connection?

No. The whole game ships inside the app and plays entirely offline. The only optional network use is Game Center, handled by Apple. No ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases.

What devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later.
