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!
