In Sand Blast! Blocks Puzzle you place falling blocks of sand so as to form complete lines of the same color! But beware! These blocks are made of sand, and thus they'll not stay put once you place them down, therefore, you have to think strategically so as to foresee where sand will flow and how to take advantage of that. Also, think quickly, as sometimes it benefits you to place a block fast before more sand falls in a given spot.  When sand of the same color reaches all the way to the left and right borders then it'll be a completed line and it'll disappear! How many lines can you complete? With survival mode you can keep playing until the sand reaches the top! At which point your score will be displayed and you can try again to improve over your own record! If you like puzzle games and are a fan of retro nostalgia then this is a fresh new take for you! And if you like the sand puzzle concept this game will give you a good challenge through unique game mechanics, such as being the first and only game in the sand puzzle game sub-genre to introduce a destructible board with bombs! Bombs are white pieces and when they collide with your existing sand they'll clear up the sand around them! Be strategic where you place this new item at your disposal, as you may enable a line completion by removing blocking wrong-color sand! No ads! And it's an offline game!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sand Bricks at 4.5 against Sand Blast! Blocks Puzzle's 3.9. Sand Bricks also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 51) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Sand Blast! Blocks Puzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sand Bricks holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Bricks has 5.7K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Sand Blast! Blocks Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 12% of Sand Bricks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sand Blast! Blocks Puzzle ships an update every 4 days, Sand Bricks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
