Sort It 3D Reviews

by Corky3615

There is really no excuse for this! The developers have produced a game which is simple &, admittedly, somewhat pleasant & addictive…. What my mother termed “idiot drill”, not in a disparaging way, but as a description of those necessary past-times which give our busy brains something to do which requires very little in the way of intellectual input.
HOWEVER……
1. The scoring is utterly illogical! It appears to range from 17 to 23 with no basis the number of moves the player uses to solve the puzzle. Anyone who is outcome oriented will find this aggravating in the extreme. For a bit I thought speed entered into the equation;
it doesn’t. There is absolutely no logic whatsoever in the scoring.

2. Unless one want to be driven mad by ads, one pays to remove them….EXCEPT that paying DOES NOT REMOVE THE ADS!
Any false move, a vagrant touch on the screen, and up pops an ad….loud, obnoxious, full screen, 30 seconds, & impossible to get rid of until the entire thing has run its course!

This is dishonest, false advertising, & incredibly pathetic behavior.
Are you that desperate for every last penny that you have to lie and cheat? Then have two payment schedules: $2.99 “removes most ads” and $3.99 “REALLY REMOVES ADS”. I’d gladly give you an extra buck for freedom from the sneak attacks . . . and correction of the scoring irregularities.

I don’t mind watching ads to support fun, well-designed free mobile games. However, this just feels like someone threw a concept for a puzzle game together with no real thought except to make money. There are no limits to the number of moves you can make, eliminating any real challenge to begin with. There’s no way to lose, and no incentive for solving the puzzle in fewer moves. Next, it gives you the option to watch ads for extra coins. However, I’m not sure what these coins are for since there are no menus or other screens to view outside of the gameplay, and if you skip, it shows you an ad before the next level anyway. Each level accomplished gives you progress towards acquiring an in-game gift, which you have to watch an ad to get, and the first two gifts are an extra sorting tube and an upgrade to differently shaped sorting tubes. I got bored with it after that. The idea has potential, but it needs A LOT of work to make it worth playing, ads or no ads.

As others mentioned, the game has potential. The difficulty just isn’t there. I can literally complete each game within seconds. Adding more colors or changing the look of the tubes as you go up levels doesn’t do anything to challenge you. Maybe if the developers incorporated a timer? Maybe if you could challenge a player and race to get it done? Or maybe limit the moves or have a move counter... something?! It’s just too easy for me and so what could be an addictive game gets pretty boring quickly. It took me less than an hour to get to level 59 (with the constant ads ugh) and I am hoping at 60 the difficulty increases. Speaking of ads, farrrrr too many ads! Although, I have discovered new interesting games as a result of them. Too bad for SortIt3D because a couple of those games are far more challenging and interesting than SortIt3D. I’ll probably delete SortIt3D and maybe come back if they upgrade it.

I’ve always liked sorting things and was always very good at it so this games seemed like a perfect fit for me. I do enjoy it but it lacks any real challenge as others have pointed out. Infinite moves allowed and no time limit don’t allow for much challenge. I guess they got what they wanted as I paid for the no ads. No way I was gonna deal with an ad after every level that is longer than it takes for my to clear the level! I got through level 200 and I’m convinced this game doesn’t get any harder and doesn’t end so time to uninstall.

That being said this game has a lot of potential. I like the simple concept but it could easily be expanded upon. More than 4 balls to a jar, time limit, limited number of moves, have to get a certain color ball into a specific jar, balls are numbered and have to be sorted and placed in number order, once you pair to balls of the same color no other colors can be places in that jar (similar to a rule in backgammon) etc. lots of potential challenges.

It allows you to buy different objects with dollars earned for playing but doesn’t show you what they look like so why would I want to unlock them? I unlocked 2 just to see what they are. One is squares and the other was octagons. Why stop at simple shapes? How bout an emoji one? One where you’re sorting sports balls, fruit, jelly beans, gems, etc.

Hope to see an update in the future. Feel free to send me royalties for the ideas. lol.

-My opinion-
I give this game three stars because it’s just okay it needs improvement.
-Tubes and shapes-
I love how you can buy different shapes and tubes. Personally some of the shapes don’t look as good as others but that’s my opinion.
Also I think we should be able to make our own tubes or shapes it would be a fun ad one to the game.
- Challenges-
They added challenges which is super fun to do but I don’t think it needs to cost coins. I think if it should cost coins it should be a bonus challenge and the challenges be daily challenges and get extra coins from that.
-Regular Storting game-
When you first download the game you start at level one and make your way up, the fame doesn’t get anymore challenging or harder which is something I wish the game did. Also you can keep playing and playing and the levels seem to never stop, I mean at the time being I’m at level 374 and it seems the game never ends.
-Ads-
The ads never end I’ve been playing for soooo long and I’ve gotten exactly 183 ads in 20 minutes that is wayyyy to many ads.

by Llama Goddess

I saw this game as an ad on some other app and out of impulse downloaded it. In the beginning I was enjoying it, having a blast sorting the colors. Then I get to level 50, then to 110, and I wonder, “how many levels is in this game?” I go to click the three bars in the right hand upper corner expecting to see something relating to the levels, but there’s nothing there. There’s nothing in that game that tells you exactly how many levels there is to complete, which is where my theory comes in. Is this some type of thought out trap to just have the player going on and on and on, and is there truly really no end? I can’t stop playing this game for the life of me, it’s an endless void of sorting. I ask for closure in knowing exactly how many levels there are so I can rest peacefully at night.

by JenCBear

This is a great game but it’s starting to get boring - there are so many ways that you could make it more challenging as a player progresses through the levels. I keep waiting for the levels to get harder but I'm on level 292 and they’re basically the same every time.

How, you say? Put a time limit. Limit the number of moves. Color the tubes so that all the balls of that color have to go into that tube. Increase the number of balls. Increase the number of tubes and colors. Add more challenging components, like balls that can only be moved once or balls that freeze after they’ve been moved a set number of times, or balls that stick to other balls so you have to move them together. What about numbering the balls so that they have to go into the tube in a specific order? There are SO many easy and obvious ways to make this a game that continues to challenge and keep your interest. As it is, I will probably delete it soon. Give us an update that makes it worth keeping. Thanks.

This is obviously a game for people who are OCD. It is interesting to read all of the analysis and suggestions people have mentioned. In my opinion, you can make this game more of a brain power exercise by adding the following: Have SortIt3D keep track of the number of moves that you make. That way a person can go back to the same level and redo it, but try to beat their high score. It would force you to think more if you need to decide “ well, if I put this ball here and move that there, then I can get all of these, etc”. So a person could do the same level repeatedly, each time trying to complete it in less moves than before.” Eventually, you would max out on one level and then decide to go to the next. It would make the game more of a Brain exercise and really would not require a whole lot of extra coding on the part of the developers.

First of all, it’s somewhat challenging but not extremely hard, which makes it a good game to play when you want to relax. My problem with it is that the ads are annoying and even when you remove them (which I did) there are certain bonuses in the game that you can’t get without watching more ads. Ok, fine, bonuses are optional and my choice if I want to listen to the ads to get them.

My biggest issue is that the ads can’t all be muted, and even the ones that can start playing over whatever else I’m streaming while I play the game. Therefore, if I’m listening to some music or a radio station then every time an ad comes on it either stops what I’m listening to or plays over it until I can find the mute option.

It drives me crazy and it’s a HUGE turn off. So I don’t play as often as I otherwise might.

by Heilmak

I only found this game as a pop up in another game... I honestly think it’s my favorite game at the moment, though. In all the other chaos in the world this stupid sorting game is the most relaxing thing I’ve found so far. There is no race against the clock, there is no fixed set of moves.

That said, my top reason for deleting games after a while week is the absolutely ridiculous number of ads. So yes I did happen to find you little gem is an ad that I actually watched and decided to try the 30th time it popped up, but odds are you won’t stay around all too long since EVERY TIME I finish a level you want me to watch another ad. Not. Happening. It takes less time for me to close and restart the entire app to avoid said ad then to sit through the stupid things.

.....and if you take that hack away from me I will revolt.

by Itsme061978

This is a good concept. I like playing it. I am hoping it gets more complicated and challenging. Right now I speed through the less hard levels hoping for the more challenging ones. Suggestions: more containers, speed challenges, more balls per container, different size containers with four or five balls on the same level, balls that explode and push the contents of a container out into other containers, balls that change color, creating patterns rather than straight groupings, color coordinating, a challenge where you can’t move the bottom ball in any vase, levels you have to complete in a certain number of moves. You could also track moves and let people repeat levels to see if they can improve. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I Love this game it is super fun but there is a few no no’s.
Let’s start with the good news I love this game it’s super fun and the more higher levels you get it gets a little bit more harder! This is one of those games that super challenging I love it and it’s nice when those other games when you just play it and never gets harder I actually feel like this game isn’t made by a really nice person and, I just love it!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Now the no no’s

Now the bad news I mean, I am only nine I barely even rate these games but I had to talk about the ads I know how cheap games have a lot at spay OK if you could load them down a little bit if you can’t it’s ok 👌🏼

Now here’s the ideas!

Do you know what I think that would be cool if they we could do PVP games that means player versus player like a competition and whoever fishes the challenge first wins and gets like 50 coins I think that would be really fun! I don’t know if other people have said they want to do it too.

Thank you so much for making this game!
I hope everyone else is looking for a game like this like this game because it’s super fun and I am a chance to look at this game

Fun game. My family takes turns doing the different levels. It’s a great game for a little break or stress relaxer. 3 things I’d like fixed. One is the amount of ADDS. There are just too many. In between every single level one pops up. Two is sometimes I’ll watch an add for the present, and the present will open, but when I go to collect the coins they won’t be in my inventory. I also wish that in the presents there was a way that you don’t get two of the same containers in a row. Three is the levels. Don’t get me wrong, when I said it was a good game, I meant it. I just don’t think it’s a GREAT game. The levels seem to stay the same and the only difference is the way the little spheres are arranged. Every once in a awhile there will be a level with lots of the tubes and different colors, but then it goes back to normal. If your thinking about downloading SortIt3D, I think you should, just don’t say I didn’t warn you about the difficulty, adds, and gifts (For editors, maybe there can be a make your own ball where you customize the little spheres. So it’s personal).

Get rid of “Lust of Mafia” ads (and a few other adult-oriented ads) — not appropriate for all the age groups that this game will appeal to — other than that, an enjoyable game. Update: You greedy pinheads!!! It was bad enough when there were ads in between games (which are quite short), but now games are interrupted for MORE AND MORE AND MORE ADS!!! In short, I will NEVER purchase ANY PRODUCT I see advertised on this game! Update: Good news, You did get rid of adult-orienred ads, Bad News, Recent update causes SortIt3D, when you’re in the middle of a game, to quit, and you lose your progress and have to start over. Please quit screwing this game up — just keep it simple and straightforward!!!

Update: These days, very rarely does this game annoy me, which puts it way ahead of most games out there.

This game is pure genius for many reasons. When you first play it, you can’t stop playing and it is so addicting that you could start off only wanting to beat a level or two, and end up playing for hours. Also, they make it look hard, but it is just the right amount of difficult. You can solve the puzzles, but some do take up some time. Finally, the game is just so much fun!!! It really makes you think about where the balls would and should go. It can challenge the brain in a whole new way!! I give a five star review for the amazing gameplay. I assume it took forever to develop, but the creators must be so satisfied with the results.

It’s a good game to play when you want to take a break from daily chores. It’s funny how everyone mentions about too many ads popping up and I’m like “what ads? I’m level 900 and I haven’t got any!”, then I realized it’s because I have a VPN app installed on my phone and it’s blocking all ads, I wasn’t even aware there were any ads on this game.
Install a VPN app in your phone and you’re clear of ads on any of your apps. Well, some of the apps (very few, though) are stubborn and won’t let you use them unless you disable the VPN. Ok, disable it, let the ads do their job, then enable it back when you’re done with that app. This game is certainly more enjoyable when you play it without interruptions.

Personally this game was, and still is, very anxiety reducing. Sorting the colors really distracts me in though anxiety inducing situations, for example, i found this game around the time my grandmother was put into hospice. We visited her a lot but Covid prevented my family from going inside her room all at once, so while I would wait for my turn to be let in to visit her I would play this game. It took me out of the gloomy hospital and extremely anxious situation I was in. It was a very scary time but this game got me though it and I even got through around a thousand levels 😅 I would really recommend this game to anyone who finds comfort in colors

by Pooknasty2008

I have pretty bad anxiety and panic attacks and this always helps me focus on something else. I also of course love it when I’m feeling alright. It’s really fun and satisfying. Love the game, I did buy the paid version. I do have a suggestion tho, maybe some more colors or complicated game boards, like maybe some stripes etc or maybe challenges like the reds only have two on the board so you have to get them into the tube that is short and only holds two or something like that, and maybe you could have different difficulty levels that you can pick from. Like just wanna relax maybe play on easy, want a challenge then you can up it to difficult etc. thanks for listening

Ok I know everyone is going to hate this but I just wanted to point out that the grammar on your ad is incorrect. Not to be rude or anything I just thought that you might want to know. You used “then” when it should have been spelled as “than” in that context. It still looked like a super fun game and I still think you should get it. I’m not trying to get anyone to hate this game. Just wanted to give the developers a heads up.

Ok so yeah I’m updating this. And no, they didn’t fix the grammar. I actually got the game because
I felt bad for saying something about the ad. Honestly there isn’t really anything that’s horrible about it. It just isn’t really entertaining. As many other of the reviews have stated, it has potential if you increase the difficulty level. The idea is great, the execution could be better.

by Blackcat_20000

I thought it would be like other games that I play. The games that I usually play don’t seem to get harder overtime but this one does the first level they show you how to play then it actually gets harder it honestly a really good game and I just go it yesterday I recommend you download this game. Plus the adds aren’t annoying at all since the games I usually get have an add every time I finish a level I was really impressed when I saw that adds only come up every 2-3-4 levels or so that’s why I gave it a five star rating. It’s a really good game.😀
Maybe in the future I’ll make a review focused on the bad things I learn overtime but not today.
Thanks for reading hope it helps
Ps. It’s a good game to pass the time and keeps me entertained when I’m bored and I’m usually pretty bored byyeeeee 😀
