Uninstalled and reinstalled to start from the beginning again. Highly recommended, though be smart and play it and any of its ilk on airplane mode to cut out the annoying ads. Two notes to devs: the bucket percentage color changing to yellow when you’re on the last 5? I get it but the color you chose is a warning, not a reward. Try gold, not caution yellow. And when I fail a level, please only make the ‘hey, you can use the soft cheats we offer’ popup should only ever happen once. Most of the time I want to solve the puzzle on my own, as intended. And if it’s intended to use the cheat to make it through (cough cough 530ish) then that’s a badly designed puzzle. Leave me alone so I can play. ### 2/5 — So so *2026-08-15, version 0.2.2* Puzzles are much less challenging than the ads. Fairly boring. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable, Satisfying Time Killer *2026-08-13, version 0.2.2* There is something very soothing and satisfying about the core game loop here that puts it above many of its peers. I keep coming back to it to kill a half hour or so. ### 2/5 — No Challenge *2026-08-12, version 0.2.2* There’s no challenge. Play when you need to turn off your brain. ### 2/5 — Deceptive promo, only has simple images *2026-08-06, version 0.2.2* The promotion for this showed a very elaborate, intensive color gradient image that would have been fun to solve. There’s nothing like that in this. All the images are very similar. I went through a lot of levels in hope that it would get more complex. It never does. False advertising! ### 3/5 — Blah *2026-08-02, version 0.2.2* Wish it was more like the ad that lead me to download the ad ### 4/5 — Too easy *2026-07-31, version 0.2.2* Not like the ad. I want bigger puzzles ### 3/5 — Auto turns on data *2026-07-30, version 0.2.2* I don’t like to use data whenever I can. When I am out and don’t have wifi I sometimes play this game. It will turn on data by itself when I have turned it off MULTIPLE times. Really frustrating when I don’t want the data usage ### 3/5 — Levels *2026-07-29, version 0.2.2* It’s still early in the game, but I’m excited to get the the pictures I saw in the add for this game. Here’s hoping 🤞 ### 2/5 — Ok but rewards are low *2026-07-29, version 0.2.2* The game is fun and addictive but the rewards for completing a level are low which is beginning to make it tiresome. The ads are constant which doesn’t help but the cost of no ads plus the low returns for completing a level doesn’t make any in game $$ investment worth it. ### 3/5 — Trop facile *2026-07-27* Je ne vois pas de difficulté à ce jeu. Les tableau sont naïfs. Rien a voir avec le tableau que l’on voit à la présentation. Même les niveaux dit difficile sont simple. Sand Loop est plus compliqué. Je pense le désinstaller sous peu ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2026-07-16, version 0.2.2* I enjoy this game a lot. My only complaint is that the buckets don’t hold equal amounts of sand. Some hold a great deal but some only a few grains. That makes it impossible to plan ahead so it’s partly just a guess. That takes some of the fun out of it. ### 2/5 — Same levels *2026-07-16, version 0.2.2* Same levels and too many ads in btw each level. Infuriating ### 2/5 — It doesn’t look like the free play ads *2026-07-14, version 0.2.1* I was hoping for the detailed artwork and monochromatic buckets like in the ad. It looks nothing like a free play at. ### 3/5 — Great game too many ads *2026-07-14, version 0.2.1* I really enjoy this game. It relaxes me before bed or when I’m stressed at the same time sometimes it stresses me because if there’s too many ads popping up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Choice to view ad *2026-08-13, version 0.2.2* There is a choice to view ad or not after every level, but sometimes they decide you MUST view an ad, and then don’t give you the reward that they offered you. That’s literally called punishment tactics. **** this developer. ### 1/5 — Adverts *2026-08-04, version 0.2.2* Too many adverts ### 1/5 — THIS GAME SUCKS *2026-08-02, version 0.2.2* GAME SUCKS ### 1/5 — Way too many adds *2026-07-28, version 0.2.2* At first was super fun than the adds started popping up and that’s annoying I’m deleting the app ### 1/5 — Unresponsive devs *2026-07-20, version 0.2.2* I’ve had an issue with the game and emailed the devs 4 times since June 22nd and I get no response as of a month later ### 1/5 — 意地でも広告を見させようとしてくる *2026-07-17* クリア後コイン取得時どちらを選んでも結局広告 コイン倍にするための広告か、休憩と称する広告かの2択で鬱陶しい あとは残り1％判定がなんか微妙 ### 1/5 — Nothing like the ads *2026-07-13, version 0.2.1* I played 30 levels in a matter of minutes hoping it would eventually be like the ads. Never got challenging, never got complex. Was nothing like the ad so I deleted it. Why not just make the game match the ad?? It’s not like you didn’t already design the puzzle. ### 1/5 — Schlimm *2026-07-12* Schrecklich nur auf Geld aus ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-07-09, version 0.2.1* Beware, this app sent an email from my email address to the developers on its own!! ### 1/5 — Много рекламы *2026-07-08, version 0.2.1* В начале неплохо, первые 50 уровней легкие и реклама очень короткая, и много раз предлагает оценить игру. Отказывался оценить пока не начнутся сложные уровни. После 50 уровня началось: После каждого уровня обязательно реклама длинной 3-5 минут. Это сильно портит впечатление о игре. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun time *2026-08-08, version 0.2.2* Fun game to play ### 5/5 — Fun & as advertised *2026-08-04, version 0.2.2* Sandy Jam is fun. It works like the ads say. Lots of ads but it’s free so what do you expect. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2026-08-01, version 0.2.2* I enjoy sifting sand and morphing the images. 🤣 ### 5/5 — K *2026-07-24, version 0.2.2* Yhddg ### 5/5 — The most peaceful game in the world *2026-07-23, version 0.2.2* Well done sandy jam staff I wish everyone could be able to get it Carry on sandy jam ### 5/5 — Game *2026-07-22, version 0.2.2* Very Nice game. ### 5/5 — Fun and not too many ads! *2026-07-18, version 0.2.2* This is a fun game, and without too many ads. They have an ad free monthly option but it’s not so awful to need it (YES!) but also it’s a super reasonable price for how fun and brain stimulating this game is. Highly recommend for brain training of strategy and it also helps my eyes have to focus on color subtlety. ### 5/5 — Peaceful fun *2026-07-17, version 0.2.2* Relaxing. I appreciate the choice of ads to keep moving forward, but there is amble opportunity to advance without the need of an advertisement. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-12, version 0.2.1* It’s relaxing and fun to play ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-07, version 0.2.1* Fun and love the strategy involved --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
