Sort It Out
A block matching game from the plush girls.

How to Play
- Push Left and Right Buttons to move left or right.
- Push the Cross Button (X Key) or the Down Button to pick up a block. You can hold up to five blocks at once.
- Push the Circle Button (Z Key) or the Up Button to place a block.
- Place six blocks of the same colour in a row to clear them.

Scoring
Initially, clearing one row of blocks awards 100 points. Clearing a row while there are blocks below that row permanently adds 10 points to the amount of points earned per clear.
Clearing two rows back to back doubles the amount of points earned on the second clear. This multiplier stacks for further consecutive clears, up to sixteen times for the fifth clear in a row.
Remarks
We were heavily inspired by the PICO-8 game RoboStock by klunkoplunko.

Those visuals are gorgeous
Really enjoyed this!! Hovered right in the stressful sweet spot where I was locked in the whole time. Feel like I'm slowly learning some techniques for common situations so I can't wait to play some more to see if I improve.
All of the customisation on the visuals is lovely too. Nocturne forever.
