Elevator Sort

Tap a colored block and watch it ride a moving elevator up to its matching colored door before the timer hits zero.

Core mechanic

Plan the order blocks exit a generator row so they meet their elevator at the right floor and dock into the matching color slot.

Controls

Single-thumb tap a block to queue its release; hold to peek the queue, swipe up to undo.

Theme

Industrial elevator shaft with color-coded doors and a conveyor of mixed blocks, simplified from Block Out's puzzle meta.

Why now

Block Out just hit #1 free in the US with 126K ratings — the elevator/block-generator twist is a hot pattern ready to be stripped into a one-thumb version.
