Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a slow-paced puzzle experience may hit the wall when colours begin spawning faster than they can sort them.
- Players seeking a story campaign or fixed level sequence may lose interest in the endless procedural round structure.
- Groups without local multiplayer hardware may not use the four-player shared-screen format.
Our take on Out of Order
The bounce point arrives when the towers begin producing colours faster than they can be sorted. Players who need time to plan each placement will meet the game's main pressure system immediately, while the shared-screen format adds simultaneous input demands for local groups.
What is Out of Order?
Sort colours as they rise from spawner towers, placing each one in the correct destination before it reaches the wrong tower.
Correct arrangements award coins, which can be spent on shop items that affect level completion. Rounds continue with changing variations, increasing the challenge and reward structure. The game supports up to four local players on a shared screen, with controller, mouse, and several keyboard control layouts. Players can also create colour schemes, edit maps, upgrade skills, discover pets, track statistics, and earn achievements. Accessibility settings include custom palettes, camera-motion controls, photosensitive mode, adjustable camera speed, and four separate volume controls.
