Bug Fixes and Optimizations. Thank you for playing Coin Sort!
Coin Sort is an surprisingly addictive arcade-style puzzle game that tests both your reflexes and your organizational skills. The core loop is simple: you have a flow of coins coming in, and you must sort them into stacks and lines based on their color, size, and denomination. It starts off relaxing, but as you unlock expert modes and time trials, it becomes a frantic test of decision-making.
The game does a great job of providing a sense of progression through its 'map' of levels and various unlockable power-ups. It’s a great example of 'brain training'—you're constantly scanning for patterns and reacting to the increasing speed. While it does contain advertising, the offline support and the satisfying tactile feel of stacking coins make it a solid choice for quick gaming fixes. It’s perfect for fans of color-sorting games who want something with a bit more of a fast-paced, arcade edge.
Addictive coin-sorting and merging mechanics
Challenging levels that increase in speed and complexity
Intuitive touch controls for stacking and organizing
Multiple modes including Endless and Time Trials
Offline play support for gaming on the go
Focus on clearing the largest stacks first. This opens up more space on the board for the incoming flow of coins, preventing a 'Game Over' during high-speed levels.
Save your boosters for the 'Time Trial' modes. Using a multiplier during a busy wave can help you reach the star goals much faster.
Yes, it is free to play with optional power-ups and contains some advertising.
Before I begin with the negative stuff, I would like to say first and foremost that the game is legitimately great. The concept of sorting money and fusing it together to get bigger numbers makes for an overall satisfying and relaxing experience. Not to mention, the concept of wanting to save money to buy more spots for holding money but dealing requires ten of your coins is a great risk-reward system. And, if you don’t have enough space to sort the coins, you can willingly watch an ad to get an additional pocket for 60 seconds. Unfortunately, the ads are where the negativity begins. I’m going to try my best to not make this one of those “It has too many ads!” Reviews, because the ads are a good system if you willingly need some extra space. However, when it pops up an ad break the second I click on a coin, that’s when I start having problems. If it was in a natural way, such as after coins were merged or dealt, then I wouldn’t complain as much. My personal stance on ads is that I don’t mind them as long as they feel natural and noninvasive. Unfortunately, as the game currently stands, that just isn’t the case. However, I would like to end this review on a positive note. The game, despite the intrusive ads and incessant requests to join “The Big Race”, is an excellent time killer. If you want the perfect gaming experience here, then I recommend turning on airplane mode and sorting through some coins!
It’s a chill sorting game to get you through boring times. The ads are a tad frequent, but it’s not ruining my overall experience like other games where ads are one right after the other. You get some decent gameplay in before the next ad pops up. ✨The race to get coins and 2 free skip-it tickets is against a CPU, and not actual players. After I realized this, I stopped trying so hard to win those races every time I got into one, and I’m glad I didn’t use real money to buy tickets to get first place faster, as well as spending my tickets on unnecessary skips just to beat the CPU if I got a tad tied up. Pretty much as long as you reach the end before the time is up, you’re guaranteed to win. I watched all the CPU’s right at the edge of winning for the last 30 minutes before I caught up and won. Dead giveaway there’s no actual players you’re going against. Don’t sweat it if you don’t make it to the end, and enjoy the mindless sorting. :)
The game itself is really fun & addictive. HOWEVER, the levels automatically end. On a few occasions I still had moves that would’ve given me a way to remain in the level. On top of that I’ve spent dozens of lives simply by the level starting with no moves, & I’ll deal just for it to not even let me see the coins myself before it auto closes the level, again & again. Over & over. If you have enough money to pay for a way out, it won’t auto close tho. Except that goes out the window bc the ‘help’ buttons are far too easy to accidentally push, & they don’t ask for confirmation in case you don’t want to use them. The game itself is great, but these issues make me wanna delete almost every level. But then it’ll stop, I’ll feel better, & then continue. It’s a cycle ALSO…. I paid the $6.99 for ad free bc I literally loved the game & played daily. But after about 3-4 weeks the ads returned. I opened a chat with the help center & even sent screenshots of my confirmation of purchase. I essentially left on read with zero help. I tried updating & even deleted & redownloading the app, nothing worked. I went to ‘restore purchases’ & nothing. So I’ll be deleting it now bc I won’t be paying that again & the ads are too annoying to endure again.
Ads play throughout the game. If you run out of space, an ad will play and you lose a heart. If you run out of space, and you close the app before the ad finishes, then the next time you open it, you will have to hit restart again, watch an add, and lose a life, even if during that time your lives replenished. I’m on level 38, and it’s impossible to continue without using a boost and watching an ad. Which is annoying, because on top of watching ads just to have the game, I MUST watch ads to solve the puzzle as well. Sometimes the game decides that there’s no space left at strange times, and it feels unexpected. Especially in the later levels (~37) there will be no moves available until you deal more coins, and you end up dealing enough coins the game says you ran out of space. Which is annoying, because there were no moves available. Honestly, passing onto level 39 will be luck of the deal and nothing to do with strategy. Which is annoying because after 3 deals I lose a life. Levels 1-35 were super relaxing and fun, but I should be able to win without watching optional ads. I don’t want to watch the ads anymore, so I’m deleting the game after a good amount of play.
I’ve been playing this game for months and really enjoy it but there are a few downsides. I’m currently at level 885 to give an idea how much I enjoy the game. The downsides are, after like level 150, the game does not add anything new to make the puzzles interesting. The only extras to the game are the rubber bands that tie multiple coins together, the ice, and the miscellaneous coin that lets you choose what coin you want it. After you unlock those 3, the game remains the same from then on. The other bad thing about this app is the amount of ads. I don’t mind the ads that pop up after I complete a level or lose a life. But today, the ads at the bottom of the screen kept becoming larger and blocking the board after every 3 or so moves. This is absolutely ridiculous and definitely intentional and is what prompted this review. I understand that ads are how apps make money, but when it gets in the way of the game play, it becomes greedy. If this ad pop up / bug persists, I will be deleting this app despite how many hours I have put into it while bored and listening to a podcast.
The game is really fun. However, it’s also extremely glitchy and when I try to contact customer support, all they allow you to pick as a category is suggestions on the game. There isn’t any place to put problems that you’re having. I wrote about the trouble that I’m having anyway and I never heard anything back. Now it’s gotten so glitchy that it’s really getting in the way of playing the game. There are pieces that are unmovable. And the game crashes a lot and I’ve watched an ad so that I could get more coins in a column, but it didn’t give me those coins. I tried to do this three times and never got the coins. So I ended up having to start over which is making me lose a competition. It has also made me start over many times when I still had moves I could’ve made. On the flipside there have been many times. I have no move to make and it doesn’t allow me to start over. In addition, if you go to start over, but you have no lives left, then you can’t even do anything else in the game such as collect money that is collectible every hour or play their extra monthly game. if you’re out of lives, you can’t do anything even though those two things I just mentioned don’t need lives.
You recently added a skip-it ticket that you can get when you win getting 1st to the next set of numbers (race). The only problem is they are used up instead of Ad watching and you only get 2 then it’s back to watching ads I don’t spend money on the games but it does get boring to keep losing the skip-it tickets. Also I have noticed that when I get done with a section the first additional space prices keeps changing to the amount of coins I have in the game. If I only have a few hundred coins the first slot is not expensive but if I have several thousand coins it is a great big amount. I have tried using the app support to get help but there apparently is NO support for the game I have documented this problem but I have no way to get this resolved. Another issue I have noticed is that if I play the game for a long time period then it will lock up on an ad and get stuck and won’t finish the ad so I lose my rewards because the only way to continue playing is I have to completely close the game and restart it. Can you please fix these issues! Then I can give it a 5 stars review.
This game is fun, i really like it. But I’m really frustrated with 1: the layout of the screen and also 2: that it assumes you’re out of moves when the game itself gives you bad coins that you can’t play with. 1: The banners on the upper left for the “race” pop out and block the top row of coin slots. It’s really frustrating because you need to wait a few seconds for it to go away. Just let it have a red number on it and I’ll click on it when i feel like it. It’s annoying to wait for it before i can see what coins are in those spaces. 2: This game is inconsistent in the coins you deal, and it’s not even playable. Sometimes it gives like 20 coins, sometimes 5 coins. And sometimes they’re not playable at all. So you deal again, and still nothing is playable. Is this supposed to be like solitaire where it’s just luck of the draw? If thats the case, then give different coins each time i have to go back to the checkpoint! It’s the same coins man! In solitaire it’s luck of the draw, but the draw is different! Final annoyance: The game tells you you’re out of moves, even when it’s not true. Even if we *are* out of moves, we should have the chance to figure that out ourselves and either use a power up or click a restart button. It’s really annoying to not even have a minute to look.
