# Conveyor Sort: Modular Conveyor Puzzle Game Template for Unity
Build satisfying conveyor-based puzzle games without developing the core gameplay systems from scratch. Conveyor Sort is a flexible and lightweight Unity game template designed to help developers create a variety of sorting games by reusing the same gameplay framework with different visuals, objects, and level configurations.
Whether you want to develop a factory simulator, donut sorting puzzle, warehouse game, jewelry organizer, or food processing experience, Conveyor Sort provides a reusable foundation for your project.
## Why Choose Conveyor Sort?
Many sorting games share similar gameplay mechanics. Items move along a predefined path, players decide where the items should go, correct decisions help complete levels, and additional obstacles introduce new challenges.
Conveyor Sort provides this core gameplay foundation through a modular and reusable framework. Instead of repeatedly implementing the same mechanics, you can concentrate on level design, visual customization, and creating your own game concept.

- **Modular Architecture:** Work with reusable components designed to be understandable, modifiable, and extendable.
- **Event-Driven Systems:** Organize gameplay logic around events.
- **Mobile-Friendly Implementation:** Designed with mobile projects in mind.
- **Object Pooling:** Reuse gameplay objects to support efficient object management.
- **Flexible Configuration:** Adjust gameplay settings and level data.
- **Fast Level Creation:** Build levels by placing modular scene objects and configuring item flow inside the Unity Editor.
