Key takeaways

Makermint builds a playable 2D sort puzzle, water tubes, ball sort, or similar, from a description.
Ask for more tubes, colours, or an undo button in plain language and try the next version.
Every sort puzzle you publish gets a share link and a spot in the Makermint community.

Sort puzzles tap into the simple pleasure of putting things in order. The genre took off with Water Sort Puzzle, where you pour coloured liquid between tubes until each tube holds a single colour. The rule is simple, move things from one container to another, but working out the right order can get genuinely tricky. The idea has spread well beyond water: ball sort, nut and bolt sorting, rope untangling, and parking lot puzzles where you slide cars out of the way.

Makermint builds a 2D version of any of these. Describe the sorting mechanic you want and it puts together a playable game in your browser, no engine, no code, and nothing to install. Makermint handles the visuals, you can ask for changes in plain language, and when you're happy you get a link to share.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint what kind of sort puzzle you want. Water tubes, ball sort, a parking lot you have to unblock, whatever fits. Plain English is enough.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint puts together a playable 2D game: the sorting mechanic, the visuals, and a set of levels. It's usually ready to try in your browser within a few minutes.

  3. Play and iterate

    Play the game right away in your browser. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add more tubes" or "add an undo button", and try the updated version immediately.

  4. Publish and share

    Once it plays the way you want, publish it. You get a shareable link, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to try.
