How to play Bin Flick

1. Blue and orange shapes, and the odd rock, drop down the middle.
2. Swipe left or right (press, drag sideways) to send the lowest shape toward the bin of its colour.
3. Rocks go down the pit at the bottom. Leave them alone.
4. Every so often the bins swap sides, so watch which colour is where. On difficulty 5 there are 28 drops and the bins swap four times.
5. A wrong bin, a swiped rock, or a shape reaching the pit ends the run.
6. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: more drops (10 on difficulty 1, 42 on difficulty 10), more bin swaps, and faster drops at the top. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• A short flick is enough. The swipe counts as soon as you’ve dragged a little way sideways.
• Sort shapes early. Drops speed up as you go, and the next one is right behind.
• Shape doesn’t matter, only colour.
• Everyone gets the same drops all day, and new ones at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh run any time, off the leaderboard.
