Tap the blocks. Pour the sand. Sort it right. Sand Out! is a satisfying puzzle experience where breaking sand blocks sends flowing grains onto a moving conveyor belt. Your goal is simple: manage the flow and sort the sand into the correct containers before the conveyor fills up. Each level begins with colored sand blocks waiting to be broken. Tap them to release the sand, watch it scatter and flow, then guide it into the matching boxes below. But be careful—your conveyor has limited capacity, and timing your taps makes all the difference. As you progress, layouts become trickier, flows get faster, and managing the conveyor becomes a rewarding challenge. It’s a smooth mix of timing, sorting, and satisfying sand physics. Sand Out! creates a relaxing yet engaging rhythm: tap a little, sort a little, clear a little. Easy to start, satisfying to master. Features - Simple tap-to-break gameplay - Satisfying flowing sand mechanics - Conveyor-based sorting puzzles - Limited capacity challenges - Color-based sorting strategy - Clean visuals and smooth animations - Handcrafted puzzle levels Break the blocks, control the flow, and sort every grain.
