Mailroom Mayhem

Flick parcels off a conveyor into their matching colored chutes before the belt overfills.

Core mechanic

Tap a parcel to flick it toward the colored chute matching its label; build streaks before the belt speeds up.

Controls

Tap parcels to flick them; swipe between waves to reassign chute colors.

Theme

Back-room post office with cardboard boxes, sticker stamps, and bold color-coded bins.

Why now

Belt-sorting loops are proven chart staples; a mailroom skin reads instantly and avoids sushi/bottle saturation.

Hook
6/10

Belt-sorting is a proven chart-driving hook, but mailroom/postal parcels read as only marginally more novel than the saturated coffee/sushi/bottle skins — no instant visual wow-factor beyond existing clones.

Simplicity
9/10

Tap-to-flick parcel onto matching colored chute is a one-input loop with a single speed-up curve — trivial to prototype in days.
