Totally missed opportunity to call this "the last sand" :)

well done!

No idea how the code for this works :D that's a lot of particles or objects to be checking :D.

Great going on a unique idea

This is hard but fun mechanic! Looks simple but it's really well made and visually I like its style. So satisfying haha

The music could be looped a little bit better, there's a seam between the start and end of the track...

On easy this plays from alone, but dare you go hard or impossible...

I just wonder if there is some way to influence what colour the next drop will get so you have more control over it?

Good spin on usual tetris-like games; quite similar to SANDTRIS. Game is truly beautiful and in combination with the music gives a really zen like experience. At least on lower difficulty :D

Intriguing concept! I never expected to feel satisfaction from sorting sand lol

Super cool take on falling puzzles. My only issue was it didn't register for me that I was already supposed to aim the next drop because the indicator blends in too much with the sand when it's at the top of the screen.

Very stimulating to the brain!!

Somehow soothing. I didn't have a sense of control like I do with Tetris, but it seemed to work out anyway...except on the harder difficulties. Maybe I am bad at it ^_^

I was playing it last night and it was very relaxing to play and look at in the dark

Great game! Took me a bit to pick it up but finally figured it out and then it was addicting to play!

Played this for way too long :)
Good fun.

I don't really understand how the game works. Maybe it's like Tetris but harder to perceive which mean it's hard to make it more logical.

The change in colors seems to be abrupted and kinda make it hard to control the outcome.

If we're talking about making games about "Sand", then this would get full score for the theme since it's captivated the feeling of sand rather well.

Artstyle, sound, music are all good. Mechanic is something I'd be on the sideline as I mentioned above.

I like watching the sand, it was a bit hard to react in time to drop it were I want it though. but looks like fun

Thanks for playing, the default rate is a bit fast but there's a settings menu under the gray button in the bottom corner; the speed drop setting can be used to slow the game down to a playable speed. I set the default to 2, but 1 can be very challenging :)
