Out of order is an adorable looking puzzle roguelite game that is a lot of fun. In this game you have to sort rings on the right pole to get money, go to some market stands to shop temporary items or permanent skills, and the go on to the next level. You’ll get a game over screen if there is any warning sign (!) on your screen when the clock hits 12h. Which mostly is when a ring is one of those poles that go down at 12h. Gladly dying isn’t bad, you keep all your coins and the only downside is that you start on some easy levels again where you will get fewer coins because there is less to sort, but that isn’t bad at all.

At this moment the game has 6 achievements. 5 of those are sort of easter eggs kinda achievements and can be unlocked it just a few minutes. The last one is for buying the Orca toy from the shop, which costs over 7k coins. This will be a long grind if you have to get it this way, buying as many “double coins” as possible as a temporary buff might help, and also the lucky skill to get random coins on each level. I got lucky and just after playing for 2h, I got the Orca toy in a mystery box which only cost a few gold pieces.

I stated the number of achievements at this moment because I know the developer has plans to add more achievements. I hope there will be more easter eggs and funny achievements as most of them are now.

I did enjoy Out of Order a lot! it is easy to understand and has such cute graphics. I would highly recommend giving it a chance.
