Block Out: Color Sort Puzzle is a refreshing take on the popular liquid-sorting genre, replacing water with tactile, 3D blocks. The objective is simple: reorganize the blocks across various containers until each tube contains only one color. As you progress, the number of tubes increases and the block patterns become more complex, requiring careful spatial reasoning and forward-thinking. With no timers and a minimalist aesthetic, it is the perfect game to sharpen your mind and destress after a long day.

Our Expert Score

79/100

Block Out is a masterclass in 'zen' gaming. We’ve seen a thousand sorting games on the App Store, but the tactile 'clack' of the blocks and the clean 3D physics make this version feel much more premium. It’s the kind of game that occupies just enough of your brain to stop you from worrying, without being so difficult that it causes frustration.

The difficulty curve is very gentle, which is exactly what you want from a casual puzzler. The levels are short enough to be played in line at the grocery store, but the 'just one more' factor will often have you sitting on your couch for an hour clearing world after world. If you’re looking for a low-stakes way to keep your brain sharp, this is an excellent choice.

Best of its kind - BUT
Tue May 05 2026 philly_jen

You’d be hard pressed to find a game of this type that has better graphics, smoother piece movements, or more equally complicated and satisfying-to-solve puzzles HOWEVER I had to delete this and re-download it to start over because while it is fun to play, I finally reached a level that was impossible to solve within the 55 seconds allowed. I agree with the other reviews stating so many of the levels are impossible to solve within the time allowed on the first try and it’s very hard to keep a streak or win any of the streak-related side quests. I’m also not a pay-to-play kind of person, but I’d watch an ad for an extra life if that were an option. Additionally (and I reached out to the devs in the hopes that this can be addressed) there doesn’t seem to be any accommodation for colorblind players and the purple and blue openings are SO close to the boarder and background that I spend a lot of time trying to solve puzzles due to not being able to see that the purple door is open, for example. It would be great if there were a colorblind mode or if the boarder and background could have a little more contrast for those of us who have trouble seeing colors. Otherwise, this is a fantastic game.

We have to draw the line somewhere.

This game can be fun, but the cash grabbing really eliminates that. Id love to be able to watch ads for extended time. As someone with very bad adhd, i struggle with timed test, challenges and all things really. So if there isn’t a way to extended time without paying for it, it doesn’t motivate me to recommend this game to people, as it is extremely difficult and almost feels like no effort was put into testing the game, only having 5 lives and 2 minutes to complete a puzzle that may take 3-5 for some people is inconsiderate of the players. This game needs more thought and effort from the developers. Seeing as it doesn’t have a large fanbase of players I hope this game can be improved bc the concept and art is great!

Cheating pay to play!
Fri May 22 2026 Lisathebunny

Im being generous by giving 2 stars and only because mind blowingly there are zero ads without having to pay to have them removed. That being said, it makes sense why there’s probably no ads as in order to beat the levels you have to pay for practically every single one. I know this game is rolling in dough with how much people are most likely paying to play this. You’re not given anywhere near enough time to both think and clear the blocks at the same time especially with multiple challenges introduced in one level. As a result you have to replay the level multiple times but by then you’ve run out of lives and can’t proceed. You then have to wait until your lives refill. Which each one takes up to 30 minutes! None of the tools really help you so they’re practically pointless and when you do use them they cost so many coins you have to pay to replenish them on your own. You’re not winning enough coins throughout each level to earn anywhere near enough to use instead of paying. You get a daily reward supposedly but it’s never for any of the tools or more time only cheap coins which feels scammy as well. Your best bet is to just avoid this game. It’s not worth the aggravation.

Time is an issue
Wed May 06 2026 Bazingas!

It’s a fun game and can be addictive but some of the later levels feel almost impossible if you don’t spend for extra time or use all of your boosts. It’s hard to get a real streak going when there are so many hard/super hard levels like every 3rd one. It feels like it’s a complete money grab at that point if you want to progress. And if you do have enough coins for the extra time and it’s not enough the second boost costs 1000 coins more than the first one. It’s ridiculous. It could be fun but there should be more time given from the start. Or make a version that’s not timed for those who just want to relax.

Too Many Hard and Super Hard Levels
Sun May 17 2026 LaurasProofs

I have really been enjoying this until recently when I was put in the arena and nearly every game is Hard or Super Hard, making it impossible to complete and continue playing. I was playing this to relax, and I do like a challenge, but when nearly every screen is impassable without one of the things that knocks out blocks or freezes your time, you get to a point where you have to have those in order to keep playing, meaning you have to pay money, only to find that the next screen is also a Super Hard level. It’s becoming not even fun anymore.

Amazing Game But…
Tue May 19 2026 try again name taken 412

This game is absolutely amazing. I just don’t understand why would they put so many blocks in one puzzle with only little time knowing the blocks have to be rearranged and on top of that they only giving you 30 coins for the small puzzles and only 60 coins for the hard puzzles. And another thing is why am I paying 900 coins only for 30 more seconds and the game is only going to give me 30-60 coins. It would be nice if this game could fix those little issues. More coins for each puzzle, more boosts, and time if the blocks need to be adjusted.

Horrible
Sat Mar 07 2026 Rnsrunyon

Game doesn’t explain any of the helpers. Didn’t even know there were any. Goes straight to difficult levels without sufficient time to learn each new thing they throw at you. Kept losing a level, which is why I deleted the app, because I didn’t understand what I was supposed to do. Oh, and it took me to the “store” and every time I went back to the main screen and hit the button to play the next level it sent me back to the store over and over and over again. I don’t know how this game got such high railings. It was frustrating, irritating and definitely not relaxing at all.

Fun to play until it’s not
Tue May 19 2026 Not Stupid?/

I got up to level 62 before it got too hard to be able to clear the level. I have tried multi times until I ran out of lives. Then I was forced to delay 30 minutes to get another life. I did that twice and keep losing before clearing the level. Not fun anymore. I do not pay to play these games. I feel forced to pay to keep playing. I am done. No money for you. If you offered $2 or $5 to continue playing I might think about it. But you want me to pour money into a hole to keep playing. Not going to happen. Deleting and will find another game to play. There are thousands of other games to play.
