✦ AI summary

The Auto Sort Is Broken is a puzzle game about organizing items that players appreciate for its cute narrative and satisfying core sorting mechanic, but it suffers from significant technical issues including unreliable tile placement accuracy, lack of item-swapping functionality, and occasional unresponsive solutions that frustrate the experience. Most players find it a fun short diversion if you enjoyed similar Save Room games, though the technical problems and brief length mean it's best approached with lowered expectations or during a sale rather than at full price.

had a nice time just sorting stuff, but with some notable irritations the accuracy of tile placement is pretty low so the items can be 1 tile away from where you thought they would be placed you aren't able to switch items when placing an item on another (like in the RE4 inventory) and the "click" from hovering over items is a bit too loud compared to other sounds at least 2 solutions didn't seem to work despite meeting the requirements items can sometimes be dropped without letting go of the mouse button broken items don't serve any real purpose outside of cluttering your usable space the game is fine but i wouldn't recommend it

Cute way to have a story with one of these types of puzzle games. It kinda made me sad at the end though

I wanted more Save Room type gameplay, and that's exactly what i got. I suspect the game is endless if i do not buy the final achievement. Perfect for when i want to scratch that itch!

A fun puzzle game, just like the Save Room duology. A little short, though :( Let's hope that you have lots of similar cool ideas, in the future ;D

Fun little organizer game but sadly the skip chat function doesnt work. Resolution is a bit meh, massive black bars instead of moving up in size.

I enjoyed both Save Room games as a nice inventory puzzle experience, I thought I would be getting more of the same with a different coat of paint. Instead this game has a problem with correctly selecting the right tiles when I try to drag the items sometimes but when the gameplay is moving items around and sorting, that frustration builds. You might think you could swap items around by dropping items over each other but you cannot. If you like feeling like someone stuck in a half-baked MMORPG you might like this jank though, I don't know. More of a minor nitpick since I'm more focused on the sorting not feeling fun, the dialogue isn't particularly funny or interesting. I think the names are a bit funny but that's it. All this being said, I haven't played much but 20 minutes was all I needed to see this was not going to be something I would like to play for much longer.
