Sluice Gates

Teal goes left. Amber goes right. One flap. One thumb. How long can you keep the ore flowing?

Sluice Gates is a one-thumb sorting game with the nerves of a reflex test. Coloured ore blocks tumble down a central chute toward a Y-fork, and a single flap decides where each one drops. Tap anywhere to flip the flap — point it left for the teal bin, right for the amber bin — and set it in time for whatever is falling next.

Easy to read, brutal to keep up with. The stream never stops and only speeds up: blocks fall faster and closer together, so every tap is a tiny decision made a fraction of a second early. Read the colour, set the flap, and start reading the next one before the first has even landed.

A block in the wrong bin is a mis-sort. Three mis-sorts and the works jam for good. String correct sorts together to climb a streak multiplier up to x5 — one wrong drop resets it to nothing. Rare star ore counts for either bin and pays big, but it falls fast, so grab it while you can.

HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP THE WORKS RUNNING?
