About the Game

In Ordinem, you take control of the railway system of Global Transport. Your task sounds simple, but it demands full concentration: assign incoming goods to the correct colors and keep the flow of cargo under control.

What seems easy at first quickly turns into a real challenge. You will manage one or multiple rail lines at the same time, react at the right moment, and make sure every shipment passes through the correct color field. A wrong assignment costs points, and letting goods pass through brings you one step closer to game over.

Using the 1 to 3 keys, you control the available rail lines. It sounds straightforward, but as the speed increases and more routes become active at once, this simple task becomes an intense puzzle and reaction game that requires awareness, timing, and forward thinking.

Fortunately, small mistakes do not end the game immediately. You have three lives. Only when three goods pass through unchecked is the round over, and your earned points are added to your total score.

By earning points, you can unlock new maps that become increasingly difficult and introduce new situations. If the normal modes feel too easy, you can test your skills in special modes such as Wrong Ways or Random Maps, where the usual gameplay rules may no longer apply.

Ordinem combines quick decision-making, clear mechanics, and challenging gameplay into an experience that is easy to understand but difficult to master. Keep the entire board in view, stay focused under pressure, and prove that you can control the chaos on the rails.

Important Notes

Due to the fast movement of the blocks and the constant focus required to monitor multiple rail lines, mild dizziness may occur during longer play sessions. We recommend taking a break of at least 10 minutes after around one hour of play.

The game runs at 60 FPS. If you are using a monitor with a higher refresh rate and notice visual stuttering, setting your display to 60 Hz may resolve the issue.
