Worst yet, the colors change each time a block is dropped, making the game more confusing or harder than it needs to be, because your internal memory of where certain colors have already fallen becomes useless. Maybe this would be fine for someone with color blindness, but makes the the game irritating, because you have to look to the next block's color, then back to where that matching color now is on the settled sand piles; rather than being able to see what block is next and plan your move accordingly, you waste half the time just trying to reorient the new color shift and then panic as the new piece is falling. I'll give it to them for being ad-free and not having a lot of useless gimmicks, but missing expected basic features and having wildly baffling color shifting means this is definitely one of the Sandtris clones in the App Store that needs the most work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Couldn’t play, all menu options lead to a crash of the app *2025-08-06, version 2.7.0* Couldn’t play all menu option led to a crash. Crashed out to my home screen. ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work on IPhone 13 *2025-08-02, version 2.6.0* As soon as you start a game it crashes you to your Home Screen. Save yourself the time ### 1/5 — Ooooh I know *2024-11-08, version 1.2.0* I’ll put 48 different colors in the game so it’s impossible to ever score a point. Some of the colors will be virtually indiscernible. I will also make the colors switch constantly just to make the game insufferable to look at. F off ### 1/5 — Just awful *2024-07-16, version 1.2.0* It’s possibly the worst game I’ve ever played I highly recommend playing it to see how bad it is. ### 1/5 — What *2024-06-30, version 1.2.0* This game is just so confusing ### 1/5 — Read pls this is big *2023-12-10, version 1.2.0* So my friend showed me yhu game an told me it was great so first they said to get the gam I would have time reprogram my phone so I did and my update is the worst I can't do anything but I said it would be worth it IT WAS NOT when ever I tried to put down a color it would turn a different color what makes the whole thing not be able to play so u update my point turn it of and back on so I could play my whole screen turn black when I went into the game for a hour know I hate the game and will never played again so if u don't want yo hav a ba day like i did do not get this game ### 1/5 — Yet another app ruined by updates *2023-08-13, version 1.2.0* Loved game up till last update know won’t work at all. Start screen comes up but press play on either level or survival and nothing happens. Please fix because I paid the 5.00 to remove ads and now have a worthless game. ### 2/5 — Ummmm what?! *2025-05-28, version 2.1.0* No sound. Low resolution blocks/sand for some strange reason - it looks like the colours are touching but they may not be! And the colours hurt my eyes! There’s a game border, but then the blocks fall past that line for some unknown reason. Clunky animation that should be flowing smooth. Look, it’s probably a great school coding project - but not sure this should even be on the App Store. ### 2/5 — Colorblind unfriendly *2024-08-20, version 1.2.0* Colorblind unfriendly ### 2/5 — absolutely terrible *2023-11-21, version 1.2.0* this game is absolutely terrible. there’s no time to place down blocks and the blocks are to big. the shapes make everything inconvenient and i don’t like how sometimes when you force down the block it does it with the next block. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! One thing though *2025-09-30, version 2.10.0* The interface feels a bit clunky, maybe limit the block to the edge of the square but not the cursor, I think that alone would make this game the best game in my phone ### 5/5 — No ads! No cookie tracking! *2025-07-29, version 2.5.0* I downloaded this because all the other versions wanted to track my data. Really simple game, really enjoy it - Tetris vibes ### 5/5 — Loved playing it in beta *2025-07-12, version 2.3.0* Great game just please don’t add adds I beg ### 5/5 — No ads! No cookie tracking! *2025-07-04, version 2.1.0* I downloaded this because all the other versions wanted to track my data. Really simple game, really enjoy it - Tetris vibes. One problem that started today (4/7/25) is that now when I clear a colour the whole board of sand is cleared, and not just the one colour ### 5/5 — The game? *2023-10-30, version 1.2.0* Please keep improving the game i love it ### 5/5 — Great game! *2023-09-24, version 1.2.0* I specially like that it’s ad free, no nonsense, and a good way to unwind. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-08-14, version 1.2.0* This game i seen on some tiktok video and man its awesome. Fun simple graphix and game and no intrusive unnecessary ads. Would love the option to have a special block that you could upgrade and it hs different powers and the power gets stronger with the upgrade. Like the explosion block but make it only be able to explode a small tile but then you could upgrade it to be able to explode tons of tiles or have a shatter bomb effect when upgraded. Something like that ### 5/5 — The game is sweet! *2023-08-07, version 1.2.0* I love it, and it’s so simple I don’t feel overwhelmed with unnecessary complexities and ads. When you do add ads I would prefer to watch one 30 second ad at the beginning of opening the ap in exchange for 30 minutes of playtime with out short ads. I would keep coming back to this game as my go to puzzle game! ### 4/5 — Sand blasting *2023-11-26, version 1.2.0* Games a total blast but wish i new how to change back normal mode from hard colour changing one --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
