Overview

About this game

Waste Sorting is a single-player puzzle game.

It is inspired by the classic pipe games from the 80s and 90s.

Click the pipes to turn or switch them and create a way from start to finish.

Find a way to the correct trash can for every trash tile.

Sort 25 different types of waste into the 5 corresponding trash cans by creating a way from start to finish.

Rotate straight pipes and curved pipes, avoid blocks, use crossroads and double curves (both cannot be rotated). Include teleporters and switch pipes into your way. Plan ahead with auto-pipes that turn every tile the trash moves. And finally: Move double trash through a separator first and finish two ways at the same time.

Waste Sorting offers 80 unique puzzles separated into 4 different worlds:

  • The trash world: the easiest levels that guide you through the gameplay. Includes the introduction to the trash cans and trash parts.

  • The pipe world: Step by step you learn more and more pipe mechanics.

  • The link world: A challenging world in which several pipes are connected to each other. When you turn one pipe, its partner turns with it.

  • The pause world: A special challenge where you can click pipes, but rotations will be paused until you hit the go button. Can you keep all your clicks in mind and plan your way ahead?

Waste Sorting is also an educational game that teaches:

  • critical thinking

  • problem solving

  • cognitive rotation

  • waste sorting

  • creativity
