Sand Loop is a relaxing sand sort puzzle: a finished sand artwork is sitting in front of you, and your job is to collect every grain of it. Guide the buckets along the conveyor, pour each color into the one that matches, and let real sand physics do the rest. Take the whole picture apart, color by color, until the board is clear. Relax and unwind after a long day, or take one level at a time on the go. How to play: - Tap to release a bucket and send it down the conveyor - Each color of sand gets poured into the bucket that matches - Work through the artwork until every grain is collected - Place your buckets strategically to solve the puzzle - Clear the board and enjoy the payoff Easy to pick up, genuinely tricky by level 100! Why you'll love it: The sweet spot between a brain teaser and a stress-relief game. Simple taps, beautiful results, steady progress, sand physics and ASMR-style sounds that make every level worth watching. Game features: - A sand sort puzzle built on a loop: timing matters, not just matching - Real sand physics: every grain pours, piles and settles - Hundreds of handcrafted levels, with more in every update - Fresh obstacles and twists that keep changing how you solve - A different sand artwork to take apart in every level - Soft ASMR-style sand sounds and a calm, colorful art style - Free to play, with no countdown timer on any level - Limited-time events to take part in when you feel competitive It never settles into one trick. Just as you get comfortable, a level changes the rules on you - a new obstacle, a new way the sand behaves, a new reason the order you pour in suddenly matters. There is a fresh twist every couple of weeks, so the game you are playing in a month is not the one you downloaded. Hundreds of levels in, it is still finding ways to surprise you. Take a moment for yourself. Let the sand flow. Download Sand Loop for free and start sorting.

If your line completes the last side of a triangle, you close it and get 1 point. Each turn gives you 30 seconds. So you need to think, but not for too long. When the game ends The game stops when: A player reaches 21 points or All lines on the board are used If the board is full, the player with the most closed triangles wins.
