About Donut Sort: Color Hoop Sorting Puzzle

Donut Sort — known in full as Hoop Stack - Donut Color Sort — is a color sorting puzzle built around stacking and rearranging hoop rings across tower pegs. The goal is straightforward: sort every ring by color so that each tower holds only one matching color. The game draws a direct comparison to color water sort, ball sort, and birds sort puzzles, so if any of those have caught your attention, the hoop-stacking format here will feel immediately familiar while offering its own satisfying twist.

Designed with relaxation in mind, Donut Sort leans into thousands of colors across its levels, framing the color-matching process as a way to clear your head and ease negative thoughts. The 3D presentation gives the rings a frosted donut appearance stacked on vertical pegs, keeping the visual side cheerful without distracting from the logic at the core of each puzzle.

How to Play Donut Sort: Sort Hoops by Color

Each level presents a set of stack towers loaded with mixed-color hoop rings. The objective is to sort every ring until each tower contains only one color.

Core Rules

• Pick up a hoop ring from any tower, then place it onto another tower — but only if the top ring on the destination tower matches the color of the ring being moved.
• Each tower holds a maximum of four hoop rings.
• Only one ring can be moved from a tower at a time — this is a strict rule with no exceptions.
• A color is considered solved when all rings of that color occupy the same tower.
• The level is complete when every ring across all towers has been sorted into single-color stacks.

Controls

• Tap: Select a hoop ring from a tower
• Tap: Drop the selected ring onto a destination tower
