Sort a Pile

Take apart one big pile of junk, piece by piece, and sort it by material.

The pile is real physics. Pull a piece and it shifts, slides or comes down. Carry what you grab to the bays and watch the mess turn into tidy stacks of metal, concrete and wood.

What you do

• Grab pieces from the pile and stash them by material.
• Fill your hands with a single material for a bonus.
• Unlock four upgrades that change how you work: a magnet, bigger hands, a push and a vacuum.
• Clear the pile to the floor. A first run takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and a clean one can be under 5.

There is no timer, no fail state and no music. Put on a podcast and sort.

Controls

• WASD to walk, Shift to sprint, mouse to look
• Left click to grab or stash
• Hold right click for the magnet, F to push (once unlocked)
• Touchscreen support

This is a prototype. I’m testing whether the core loop feels good before building more. If you have 20 seconds, this short form tells me what worked and what didn’t.
