### 1/5 — 无聊

*2026-08-17*

无聊就不说。房子要收费干吗？

### 5/5 — アップデートを望む、が

*2026-06-08*

数年振りに、またアプリを入れてみた。
落ち着いて、いろいろと自分だけの世界で勝手に考えられるアプリだ。
波の周期や砂の崩れ方など、もう少し調整できるようにしてほしい。
だが、このようなもどかしさもまた、ある意味で真理なのかもしれない。

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2026-05-31*

Perfeito para descansar a mente. Quem deu nota baixa, foi porque não entendeu a proposta.

### 5/5 — 個人的に大好き

*2026-02-20*

無常とか粋とか、そういうものを感じて笑える稀有なアプリ。こういうものをわざわざ作る人間になりたい

### 5/5 — (Devs Please Read) Please Make Everything Free.

*2025-09-29, version 1.05*

### 5/5 — -

*2023-12-23, version 1.05*

Love and relax

### 4/5 — This is a lovely game

*2023-02-08, version 1.05*

For people who have short tempers and love flashing lights and high graphic games then it is rubbish but for people who like calm mindful relaxing games then this is awesome although the extra sandcastles shouldn't be behind a pay wall. BTW it's nor really a game it says that.

Overall I love this app

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!

*2023-01-14, version 1.05*

Worst game ever! So boring and stupid! What’s the point in building sandcastles just for them to get destroyed?

### 3/5 — Boring vectorpark. Boring

*2022-12-03, version 1.05*

I don’t see the point. You pull sand from the ground.
You wait. You wait some more.
Then bam! Gone!
There should be a button for the waves.
Also look at this title. It’s just swipe and wait.
Swipe and wait.
