A whole supermarket to un-mess
You start with floors covered in stock and end with neat rows where everything sits with its own kind. Grab an item, work out which department it belongs in, then place it where you want within that group. Sorting products, grouping matching packets together, and slowly uncovering the floor is the whole loop, and it stays low-pressure throughout.
You drop a chocolate pudding on a bakery shelf and the tag colour tells you if it fits. With thousands of silly, hand-made products to handle, there is always another box to sort and another shelf filling up in a clear, satisfying way.
Tidy your way, with labels and upgrades
How strict you want to be is up to you. Place up to 100 sticky notes per level to plan shelves in advance, or just shelve by feel and fix it later. Earn coins as you restore levels, then spend them in the Training Module to summon missing objects, run faster, find the right shelf, or carry more at once.
Lost property trinkets hide around the store for an extra hunt. You can also set your own in-game playlist, picking something mellow or a little more upbeat to sort to. The look stays bright and chunky, with colourful low-poly shelves wrapped in pixel art textures.
A craft store and more mess to come
Beyond the supermarket, a craft store level holds more than 2,000 placeable items of paint, yarn, and fabric. Restoring its displays brings its own small decisions, like whether wool should be sorted by colour or by ply or texture.
The game is built to grow, with more themed levels planned. It is family friendly, single-player, and made without AI, by one artist and developer.
Good to know before you tidy?
How does the sorting actually work?
You pick up loose stock, check which department and shelf it suits, and place it back. Items in the same group belong together, and shelf tags help you see what goes where. You decide the exact arrangement within each category, so two tidy stores can look quite different.
What can you unlock as you clean?
Restoring shelves earns coins for the Training Module skill system. Upgrades let you move faster, carry more, summon a missing object, or point out where something belongs. If you prefer doing it all by hand, you can skip the magical help and take the long, methodical route.
What else is there besides shelving?
Each level hides lost property collectibles, small trinkets tucked away from the main aisles. Finding them all takes some searching between the sorting. Sticky notes add another layer, letting you label plans, mark half-finished sections, or leave yourself reminders.
Can you change the music and controls?
Yes. You can customize the in-game playlist to suit your mood, and controls are fully rebindable.
