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.

Five cards. One number to hit. One satisfying click when it all snaps into place. You're dealt five cards and a target. Combine all five — each used exactly once — with +, −, ×, and ÷ to land on the number exactly. Easy to learn in a minute. The kind of puzzle you'll still be turning over at the bus stop. And here's the promise that makes it sing: every single deal is solvable by construction. No impossible hands, ever. A true exact-fraction engine means real fractions — never a rounding error, never a "that should have worked." When you solve it, you earned it, and the confetti, the spring, and the little sound all agree. NINE MODES, NINE FEELS • Classic — untimed and calm. Just you and the numbers. • Daily — one shared puzzle every day, with a spoiler-free result to share. • Blitz — fast, timed, limited lives. Pure adrenaline. • Marathon — settle in for the long haul. • Survivor — keep solving until your lives run out. • vs Computer — race a real on-device AI rival (Easy/Medium/Hard) in a best-of series. • Operation Lockout — one operator is disabled each round. Improvise. • Target Hunt — same hand, how many different targets can you reach? • Unrestricted — fractions and negatives unlocked. For when you want a fight. Each one has its own goal, pressure, scoring, and finish — they genuinely play differently. PLAY YOUR WAY • Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty. • A real AI opponent computed entirely on your device — no servers, no internet needed. • Unlimited hints, undo, and reset, so you're never truly stuck. • 52 Game Center achievements, per-mode leaderboards, and an in-app stats dashboard. POLISH YOU CAN FEEL Juicy spring animations, confetti, procedural sound and haptics, beautiful light and dark themes, and Liquid Glass on iOS 26. A treat to look at and a joy to touch. Full accessibility too: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, color-blind-safe shape cues, Reduce Motion, and large touch targets. GREAT FOR LEARNERS, TOO An Easy (Primary) deck makes Minuend a genuinely fun way for kids to build arithmetic and mental-math confidence — and a natural fit for the classroom. Guided Training lessons, four operation drills, and a free-play sandbox ease anyone in, no pressure. PLAYS FAIR Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts, no tracking — your data stays on your device. Just a beautiful number puzzle that respects you. Deal yourself in. Just one more puzzle.
