How to play

Drag a shape fully inside the board and release. Connect the same color between both walls; wait for sand to settle. In Restart, Continue cancels; Restart clears the current run.

Is this your kind of game?

For mouse players who prefer reshaping piles to rigid blocks: plan a same-color connection between both walls, then wait for the grains to settle.

Connect walls, not a rigid horizontal row

The tutorial says CONNECT LEFT & RIGHT WALL WITH SAME COLOR. Released shapes became grains; orange, blue, green and red cleared after connecting both walls. The connection need not be flat. Our attempts extending a shape past the right boundary were not accepted; move the whole shape inside before releasing.

Distinguish current points from the crown

After the tutorial, one placement gave 35 current points. Restart emptied the board and changed the center current score to 0, while the crown still showed 35. Do not read the retained crown as retained progress. This observation does not establish cross-session saves.

Opened Restart by mistake?

The top-right circular arrow opens a points-loss warning. Continue closed it and kept our pile and 35 current points. Confirming Restart cleared this test run. No page reload is needed for either path. Game-over recovery and ad-powered helpers remain untested.

A distributor pre-roll appeared before play. Drag-and-drop worked, pieces broke into flowing sand after release, and a completed color line produced immediate score and clear feedback.
