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
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.
Features
Thousands of unique, hand-crafted levels
One-finger control for easy gameplay
Vibrant, high-contrast 3D visuals
Relaxing lo-fi background music
No time limits or penalties
Tips & Walkthrough
Always try to keep one tube completely empty as long as possible. Use it as a temporary 'holding bay' to move blocks around and free up the bottom colors of other stacks.
Gameplays
In levels with more than 8 colors, focus on completing the most dominant color first to clear out a tube early, giving you more space to sort the rarer colors.

Q&A
You can use the 'Undo' button to backtrack, or the 'Add Tube' power-up to make the level easier.

Best of its kind - BUT
Tue May 05 2026 philly_jenYou’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.
Fun but impossible to beat without spending money
Mon Jun 01 2026 roxy_ceceI really love this game, but it’s impossible to pass certain levels without spending my money out of my pocket on upgrades or extra coins, etc. There’s no option to watch any ads to get help or get extra coins to finish levels. I deleted this app because I didn’t want to spend any more money out of pocket to just pass a level. It’s a waste of money because you run into the exact same problem again in another few levels.
Cheating pay to play!
Fri May 22 2026 LisathebunnyIm 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.
Addictive but also not
Sun May 24 2026 Me2485739201I don’t like that this game is basically punishing you for not using the “cheats”. The fun in the game is trying to figure out the puzzle as is. I don’t want to use the extras to win a level faster so I end up taking longer to complete a level than others and I don’t get the “rewards” as often. The only reward I do use is the unlimited lives. At least give the option to choose which rewards we want or trade them in for extra lives. I also paid the $1.99 for the hour of unlimited lives then went to purchase it again but apparently that’s a one-time thing? I guess the developer doesn’t want my money? This game is great at blocking out all other thoughts but unfortunately also great at blocking you from playing.
We have to draw the line somewhere.
Sun Apr 05 2026 SomeoneishomeThis 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!
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 LaurasProofsI 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.
Get ready to be frustrated
Sun May 24 2026 PopTarts4MeThe colors are bright and catchy and it seems like the puzzles are doable but then at about level 170 they start giving you impossible ones that you cannot solve unless you spend money to buy the booster packages. I refuse to spend money on games and would rather watch an ad or two to earn a booster than to spend my paycheck on puzzles. The Hard and Extra Hard levels have impossible short timers for the amount of blocks that need to be moved. The game could be enjoyable if they would appropriately set the timers to realistic challenges. It’s super frustrating. Which is why my time here is done and it’s getting deleted. Sad, because the theme is cute and it could’ve been a good game.
