Barnyard Sort

Operational Brief

Barnyard Sort is a cozy, one-tap sorting puzzle: each pen holds a stack of colorful sheep, and your job is to herd them so every pen ends up a single color. Tap a pen to lift its top sheep, tap another to set it down — a calm, satisfying loop anyone can pick up in seconds and play in a browser tab with no install.

Designed and engineered in-house at Studio Eighty Five as a showcase of warm, family-friendly HTML5 craft: hand-drawn vector sheep, zero dependencies, a tiny payload, and a steady 60 FPS on phones. Every level is generated to be guaranteed solvable.

• One-tap controls — tap a pen, then another to move a sheep
• Always-solvable levels, generated backward from a solved state
• Star ratings, move counter, undo and an optional hint
• Win-streak saved locally; difficulty ramps with more colors and pens
• Bright, friendly art and juicy confetti celebrations
• Instant load — no install, no account, responsive phone to desktop

• Tap a pen to lift its top sheep; tap a second pen to drop it
• A sheep only lands on an empty pen or one whose top sheep matches its color
• Complete a pen for a confetti burst, a happy chime and a "SORTED!" pop
• Clear every pen to win the level and chase a three-star, low-move run
