Casual Game Hoop Stack

Hoop Stack is a satisfying sorting puzzle. Colored rings are jumbled across several pillars, and your goal is to sort them so each pillar holds a single color. The rules are simple: you can only lift the top ring off a pillar, and you can only drop it onto an empty pillar or onto a ring of the same color. That constraint is the whole puzzle — you have to plan a sequence of moves that frees the rings you need without painting yourself into a corner where nothing can move. Keeping an empty pillar free as a workspace is usually the key to shuffling rings around. There's no timer, so it's a calm, methodical game of working each stack into order one move at a time.

- Lift a ring: Click a pillar to pick up its top ring.

- Place it: Click another pillar to drop the ring — only onto an empty pillar or a matching color.

- Sort by color: Arrange every pillar so it holds a single color to clear the level.

- Reset if stuck: Use reset to start over if you run out of moves.

- Keep an empty pillar free as a workspace whenever you can — it's your most valuable room to maneuver.

- Try to complete one color onto a single pillar early to simplify everything that's left.

- Look at the rings buried at the bottom of each stack and plan the fewest moves needed to free them.

- On tricky levels, mentally set aside one color and focus on sorting the rest first.
