How to play
- Pieces fall as solid blocks. Move them, turn them and drop them, just like falling blocks.
- When a piece lands it turns into loose sand. The sand settles into a pile and slides down slopes.
- Join one colour from the left wall to the right wall in an unbroken run and every grain in that run vanishes, then the sand above settles again.
- The game ends when a new piece has no room to appear. Your best score is saved on this device.

Tips and strategy
- Think in colours, not rows: build a long band of one colour near the bottom and finish it with a piece of the same colour.
- Sand slides, so a piece landing on a slope will not stay where it landed. Land pieces on flat ground.
- The next piece is shown beside the pit. If it matches the band you are building, save a gap for it.
- Grains touch along corners as well as sides, so a band does not need to be perfectly flat to count.
FAQ
- Why did my piece change shape when it landed?
- It turned into sand. The blocks are only the shape you steer while it falls: after landing every block becomes loose grains that settle on their own.
- What counts as a band?
- A run of grains of one colour, each touching the next along an edge or a corner, that reaches both the left wall and the right wall.
- How is it scored?
- One point for every grain in a band that clears, so longer and thicker bands score more.
