### 4/5 — Relaxing game-almost

*2026-09-07*

Love the game. I find the haptics really satisfying. Except there’s a timer and the whole reason I’m playing in the first place (to relax) goes out the window. Wish there was an option without the timer.

### 3/5 — Terrible Timer

*2026-09-07*

Whoever put “relaxing sand puzzle” for the description title should be fired. This would be a relaxing game if there was no timer. Can you just have a toggle switch that says with or without timer? This is a challenging puzzle game. I just want something to kill time, and then, if I am wanting a challenge, I could put a timer on it. It’s a good game though, but I can’t give it any more than three stars for the false advertising.

### 3/5 — 時間切れ

*2026-09-07*

時間切れになるのがすごく分かりにくい。一応、時間切れ前にアイテムを使うよう促されるアイコンは出るが、音もなければ画面にエフェクト等も出ない。プレイ中にいきなり時間切れの画面になり割とビックリする。これが改善されれば普通に面白いし気付いたら次へ次へとプレイしてる。

### 2/5 — 制限時間が短すぎる

*2026-09-06*

レベル260くらいまでやったがとにかく制限時間が短すぎる
何がなんでもアイテム課金をさせたいんだろうなという開発者の想いが伝わってきます。
課金するくらいならこのアプリ消しますけど。

### 3/5 — 広告でもう少し救済措置希望

*2026-09-06*

面白いのですが難しい面にきた際にクリアできずにアイテムもコインもない場合詰みです。

現時点でコイン入手がクリアか課金しかなく、楽しく暇つぶしくらいの意識でやるには何十回もチャレンジすることや課金することは考えられないのでアンインストールでもいいかなという感じです。1日の上限ありで広告でコインが貰えるようになるまで待ってます。

### 2/5 — Great until you have to pay

*2026-09-05*

Played for a while. I loved it at first. It was challenging yet fun. When I got all the way to level 67 though (idk if this is a joke on the developer’s part), it is impossible to beat. You need to pay for the perks to get past it. So the game isn’t fair unless you pay for perks to beat certain levels, which instantly, to me, makes it not a great game.

### 2/5 — Viel zu viel Werbung

*2026-09-04*

Das Spiel ist eigentlich echt super, aber nach jedem Level 30 Sekunden Werbung ist schlichtweg zu lange und viel zu viel. No Ads 8,99€ auch viel zu teuer.

### 1/5 — TOO HARD

*2026-09-04, version 0.3.0*

I can not get pass 63, and the levels are too hard and the time drains too fast, also I am disappointed that you used AI instead of humans.

### 1/5 — Not relaxing.

*2026-09-04*

The concept of the game is great but the timing A, wasn’t in the ad. B, makes it a stressful experience instead of a relaxing game it was supposed to be. Some of the levels are impossible to beat unless you get the + time or something to help you. Every 2nd level is “very hard” and it pr wouldn’t be so hard it they didn’t give you like 1.5 minute for a level with sand adding through pipes, and some ice blocks that need a few sand boxes full to unlock and be able to move as well as the very limited space on these levels. Overall the idea is good but the timing makes this unplayable. I do not recommend and unfortunately will have to delete.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-09-03*

New update causes app to crash before it loads. Very frustrating

### 2/5 — Used to love

*2026-09-03, version 0.3.0*

I used to love this game but after the last update, it keeps crashing and won’t open.

### 1/5 — Level and timer

*2026-09-03*

They are so hard with the time .. not enough time and when you buy time its only 20 sec. So bothing

### 4/5 — PLEASE allow timer removal

*2026-09-03, version 0.3.0*

I LOVE this game but it would be so much better and relaxing without timer :(

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2026-09-02*

Since you updated it doesn’t load at all

### 1/5 — Impossible and Greedy

*2026-09-02, version 0.3.0*

Once you reach level 90-100+ you can go as fast as physically possible and you’ll still lose. I feel this is unfair and only there to make you pay which I would never do for a predatory strategy like this. If it continues on like this for the next day or two I’m uninstalling.

### 1/5 — App no longer opens

*2026-09-02*

After the most recent update the app no longer opens and is completely unusable on iPad. I have contacted support but no reply at all

### 1/5 — 残念

*2026-09-02*

アップデートしたら開けなくなりました。

### 1/5 — Game won’t open anymore

*2026-09-01, version 0.3.0*

I liked this game fairly well, but now it crashes whenever I try to open it. I tried everything I could think of (checked for updates, restarted my device, and even deleted and reinstalled the app) but it still won’t even get past the loading screen. I have several other issues with how the game itself works (such as timers being too short, or levels seeming to be borderline impossible to win without buying upgrades) but now I can’t even USE the coins I just paid actual money for because the game refuses to open. I’m deleting this app permanently now. It just really sucks that there’s no good alternative to this game in the AppStore.

### 1/5 — Not you too

*2026-09-01, version 0.3.0*

They changed. I don’t care about a pass. I don’t care about an avatar. I just wanna play levels.

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-09-07*

This game is absurdly frustrating, there time for the levels and a lot of times you can’t do it, I get it it’s difficult, I would rather not have the time. 
The real problem are the ads, it’s one add per level. If you watch a add to get more seconds on the level sometimes the add will be 1min+ and you only get an extra 20s on the level. I’m not kidding on the amount of ads. The game is fun, but you get stressed out easily

### 1/5 — 制限時間が狡い

*2026-09-07*

既存のアイデアの面白い組み合わせのアプリだが、制限時間が短く、コインを使わせたい魂胆が丸見え

### 1/5 — Urghhhhhh NO AIII PLS

*2026-09-07*

I really want to enjoy this game but I can’t play it without ai “art” being shoved down my throat! DO BETTER

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-09-06*

Used to be great, but since the update last week it only loads the splash screen and then crashes.

### 1/5 — 開けない

*2026-09-05*

インストールしたけど開こうとすると強制終了して遊べなかった。アンスト→再インスト何回かやってみたけど変わらず。
スマホとの相性とかあるのかな〜。残念

### 1/5 — Loading

*2026-09-05*

This app has only loaded one time after multiple attempts, now won’t load, just keeps returning to my home page: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-09-05, version 0.3.0*

Game crashes at loading screen every time you open it since update. Also it’s just repeating levels now.

### 1/5 — Level 202 not possible

*2026-09-04, version 0.3.0*

Cannot complete level 202 due to the color of the sand not matching the color of the puzzle. Very disappointing the game was fun until that point

### 1/5 — AI

*2026-09-04, version 0.3.0*

Game uses horrible, ugly ai assets. If you care about not supporting ai and rather supporting artists, do not get this game.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-09-04, version 0.3.0*

Too many ads

### 5/5 — SAND BLOCKS

*2026-09-04, version 0.3.0*

So far it is really fun and simple and satisfying 🤩!!!!!!!❤️‍🔥❣️

### 5/5 — 割と面白い

*2026-09-01*

現在レベル290です。確かに制限時間が短いと感じる時もありますが、同じステージ2回目以降の挑戦時にやたら時間余ってクリアみたいなこともあるので、妥当な時間配分なのかなと思います。アイテムがないと絶対クリアできない運ゲーのようなパズルではないので、その辺りの理不尽感がなくコツコツ進められます。逆に制限時間無しなら多分飽きる。課金で永遠に制限時間無しとかにするのはいいかもですね。一つ気になるのは、スマホが熱を持ちやすいことです。長時間プレイは良くないかもしれません。

### 5/5 — It’s actually fantastic

*2026-08-31, version 0.3.0*

I wasn’t expecting much at all, but it’s a really solid puzzle game and it’s quite challenging. Ads are reasonable. Really surprised and happy with it!

### 5/5 — A good review

*2026-08-30, version 0.2.8*

Extremely fun.

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2026-08-28*

制限時間は少し焦るところもありますが、意外とクリアできるので楽しいです！もし時間切れになっても、20秒広告を見れば時間を追加してクリアできるので助かります。
広告は出てきますが、プレイの途中で邪魔してくることはないです。

202面の緑ブロックは、黄色い枠の中にあるブロックを端に避けたりして、枠の中にブロックがない状態にすれば緑ブロックが出てきます！

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-27*

This game is great! A bit to unrealistic on how fast you can pass the levels. (50 sec to get everything moved) I’ve spent a lot on this game already. I just wish it wasn’t needed to pass every level. 
Please make the levels easier (more time on the clock) annnnd PLEASE ADD A DAILY BONUS and maybe somewhere we can win free helpers.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-16, version 0.2.7*

I wish it wasn’t timed but still very satisfying.

### 5/5 — Relax mode?

*2026-08-02*

I really enjoy playing this game. I’m on level 132. So far the ads haven’t been too many or intrusive. Please don’t change that. :)

I’d love to see this with the option to remove the timer. Either to pay to remove the timer from all levels or watch an ad before a puzzle. 

Also would love to be able to replay levels. Especially the harder ones. Then once you have mastered it, you could turn the timer back on to try to beat your best time.

### 5/5 — Help

*2026-08-01, version 0.2.5*

I am suck on level 124 could anyone help me get through it??

### 5/5 — Super fun

*2026-07-20*

I love this game. So relaxing. No ads. I see complaints about the timer, and while i agree it would be nice to have an option to turn the timer off, the time it gives you is plenty to solve the puzzle
