Sortie is a drag-and-drop puzzle game by @nudo that turns organizing into a relaxing challenge. Place uniquely shaped items into their matching slots and bring order to themed trays, including medical kits and toolboxes.

Created with Astrocade, Sortie focuses on recognizing shapes and finding where each object belongs. Its appeal comes from gradually turning a cluttered tray into a neatly arranged set. You can play it in your browser on Fortcade.

How to Play Sortie

Each tray contains items and empty spaces shaped to fit them. Look at an object's outline, find the corresponding slot, and drag the item into position. Continue placing objects until the tray is organized.

Controls and Objective

Select an item: Click and hold the object you want to move.
Drag it into position: Move it toward the slot that matches its shape.
Release: Drop the item into place and continue with the remaining objects.

Pay attention to the outline of each slot rather than choosing by an item's general appearance alone. Similar-looking objects can still need different spaces.

What Makes Sortie Stand Out

Sortie builds its experience around the satisfaction of tidying up. Instead of asking you to recall facts or type answers, it gives you objects to inspect and arrange.

Themed trays: Medical supplies and tools give the sorting tasks a recognizable setting.
Shape matching: Each placement asks you to connect an object's outline with the space it belongs in.
A clear objective: Progress is easy to follow as the empty slots fill and the tray becomes more orderly.

The straightforward format suits players who enjoy small organizational tasks. Players looking for more elaborate puzzles may find the concept simple, but that simplicity also makes the objective easy to understand.
