Neal Tew's 4 KB puzzle from the 2003 MiniGame Compo: sort coloured crates on four stacked conveyor belts before they fall off the screen.

You control four workers at once, one on each belt. Crates slide in from the ends, and you pass them up or down to put the colours in order. Ten colour sets clear a level, and there are six levels.

It placed 9th of 37 in the 4 KB category. Memblers later put it in a compilation ROM with other entries from the contest, among them Escape from Pong, Munchie Attack, Bomber 4K and Galaxy Patrol.

How to play

Controls: The D-pad moves the workers, B drops a crate to the belt below and A throws it up to the belt above.
