Game Guide
The core challenge of Halloween Store Sort is to sort and eliminate items within the time limit while unlocking hidden shelves to expand your operation space. Mastering the core logic of "observe-plan-execute" will allow you to easily progress from a novice to a sorting champion. Below are the key tips.
Prioritize "breaking the deadlock" at the start to unlock space quickly. When entering a level, spend 3 seconds scanning all shelves first, focusing on marking shelves with 2 identical items—these are the "breakthrough points" for forming eliminations the fastest. Prioritize dragging scattered items to complete such shelves; after elimination, the upper shelves will slide down automatically, and adjacent shelves will also shift, directly unlocking hidden areas. If the initial shelves are cluttered, organize the edge shelves first. Eliminating items on the edges drives the flow of items in the middle area, avoiding early blockages.
The core of advanced gameplay lies in "time management + chain elimination". As you progress through the levels, the number of shelves increases, so you need to establish a "priority sorting" mindset: within 10 seconds of the countdown, prioritize completing combinations that already have 2 identical items and abandon searching for new combinations; if multiple shelves can be eliminated, prioritize the combination that can clear an entire row. Clearing an entire row will trigger a large shift of adjacent shelves, unlocking more hidden items at once. For example, clearing the entire leftmost shelf will make the right shelves shift left as a whole, and scattered items may form new combinations.
Don't use the shuffle item randomly—save it for key moments. Use the item only in two situations: first, when all items on the shelves are single and there are no potential combinations; second, when the countdown is less than 5 seconds but you only need one more item to unlock a hidden shelf. Before using it, gather scattered items on the same shelf—this makes it easier to form matches after shuffling. Blind shuffling will waste precious time.
High-score tips focus on "combo effect" and "efficient organization". A combo bonus is triggered if the interval between consecutive eliminations is no more than 2 seconds. Therefore, after eliminating the previous combination, immediately focus on the newly exposed items. At the same time, try to place only items of the same type on a single shelf—perfectly organized shelves will give extra points. For later levels, adopt the "layered processing" method: prioritize eliminating upper shelves and use lower shelves to temporarily store unmatched items, avoiding confusion between upper and lower layer items.
Summary: Find breakthrough points to unlock space at the start, rely on chain elimination to save time in the middle stage, use items for precise rescue in the later stage, and maintain a combo rhythm throughout. Remember that "observation takes priority over operation" and avoid blind dragging—it's not difficult to clear levels and get high scores.
