Two sorting games

A colorful 2D market and a 3D toy shop. Same quiet satisfaction: pick something up, find its row, finish the shelf.

The Little Market

A little order. One shelf at a time. Turn a floor full of groceries into tidy shelves, earn coins, and upgrade your bag.

  • Match scattered groceries to their shelf rows.
  • Earn coins for placing items and finishing rows.
  • Expand your bag and unlock sorting upgrades.
  • Save and return to your cleanup later.

Penguin Shop

Every penguin has a place. Walk a cluttered toy shop, pick up little penguin toys, and match each design to its shelf row. No time limit.

  • Explore a 3D shop of different penguin designs.
  • Match each toy to its shelf row.
  • Earn coins and buy upgrades as you sort.
  • Play at your own pace.

玩道

The studio

Dao of Play is a small studio. The seal is a vermilion stamp with a winding path and a player: find your own way through the mess, one item at a time.

We are building sorting games in Godot. Some art begins as generated images and is then edited by hand. Store pages and public builds are still on the way; this site is the studio home in the meantime.

Current work is The Little Market and Penguin Shop.
