Nuts Color Sort Puzzle is a hardware sorting logic puzzle game. A half-human, half-squirrel character needs the player's help to sort colored nuts on bolts across levels. They challenge the player to rearrange the nuts in ways that result in only one color of nuts stored on each bolt.
On each level, the player receives two or more bolts of any size and length that contain a mix of colored nuts. Some bolts are empty. The player sorts the pieces by directing the game to transfer one or more nuts to other nut-containing bolts or to an empty one.
The game has only one major rule. The player can't place one or more nuts into position above a non-matching one. As a result, they must carefully think about how any placement action might free up space on a bolt, create a one-color storage area faster, or block their next move.
Nuts Color Sort Puzzle gives the player three boosters below the field to help them complete this task. The player can undo the previous move, add an empty bolt to the field, or select a nut to move to the top of a bolt from a lower position. That said, they must watch videos to access these tools. They can also use a short bolt on the field to access the ad-view option for installing an empty bolt.
The game doesn't prevent the player from transferring a partial stack of single-color nuts like some other games, such as liquid-sorting ones. The player merely selects a one-color stack and a bolt. The game then automatically splits and transfers part of the stack.
